The government of Benin in 2013 decided upon a centralized land administration, with the purpose of recording the entire national territory in one land administration system to promote durable economic development by increasing legal certainty in real estate transactions. This is a major challenge, given that currently, of the estimated 5 million cadastral parcels, less than 60,000 parcels have a land title and are registered in the national land administration agency’s central database. This case study describes how a transition to a fit-for-purpose approach in land administration makes it possible to realize the Benin government policy. In the context of Benin, the core of this approach is the introduction of a tenure system based on presumed ownership parallel to the existing title system with state-guaranteed ownership. From a quality perspective, this meant a shift in priorities from “good but slow” to “good enough and fast”. A field test has proven that this new approach is necessary to realize the governmental purpose but puts pressure on the quality aspect and the related interests of established parties such as private surveyors. In the Benin case, this pressure is reduced by designing a land information system based on the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) that makes it possible to include and keep track of both cadastral parcels with state-guaranteed ownership and cadastral parcels with presumed ownership in the database. Both ways of tenure security can therefore coexist, allowing landowners to choose between the level of legal security that best fits their needs and means.

Promoting and managing sustainable territorial development require adequate tools that enable territorial managers to formulate appropriate choices. Technological solutions have emerged, and the paradigm has shifted from isolated GIS to a more collaborative production and dissemination of geographic data using spatial data infrastructures (SDI). A critical dataset for municipal land administration is cadastre. ISO 19152 standard of the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) was published in 2012. Also, technology evolution, namely unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), has changed data acquisition for cadastre. These are three pillars of modern territorial management: openness, co-production, and data sharing (SDI); models (LADM); affordable technology (UAV). This chapter presents how municipalities can develop an SDI project, incorporating LADM guidelines and UAV data acquisition. The case study is based on a group of 32 small municipalities from São Paulo state, in Brazil, known as UNIPONTAL.

Access to land for many people in Africa is insecure and continues to pose risks to poverty, hunger, forced evictions, and social conflicts. The delivery of land tenure in many cases has not been adequately addressed. Fit-for-purpose spatial frameworks need to be adapted to the context of a country based on simple, affordable, and incremental solutions toward addressing these challenges. This paper looked at three case studies on the use of the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) tool in promoting the development of a fit-for-purpose land administration spatial framework. Data gathering from primary and secondary sources was used to investigate the case studies. The empirical findings indicated that the use and application of the STDM in support of the fit-for-purpose land administration framework is quite effective and can facilitate the improvement in land tenure security. The findings also revealed that the tool, together with participatory and inclusive processes, has the potential to contribute to other frameworks of Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration (FFP LA) toward influencing changes in policy and institutional practices. Evidently, there was a remarkable improvement in the institutional arrangements and collaboration among different institutions, as well as a notable reduction in land conflicts or disputes in all three case studies.

Abstract: The processes starting with the identification and registration of treasury properties have an essential place in the cadastral systems. Spatial data modelling studies were conducted in 2002 to establish a common standard structure on the fundamental similarities of land management systems. These studies were stated as a beginning named Core Cadastral Domain Model (CCDM), since 2006, it has been started to be made under the name of LADM. This model was accepted in 2012 as a standard model in the field of land administration by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In this study, an external model class is proposed for LADM’s transactions related to Treasury’s real estates properties which are related National Property Automation Project (MEOP). In order to determine the deficiency of this current external model, databases containing records related to spatial data and property rights were examined, and the deficiencies related to transactions on treasury properties were determined. The created external class is associated with the LADM’s LA_Party, LA_RRR, LA_SpatialUnit and LA_BAUnit master classes. Herewith the standardization of the external data model is ensured. If the external model is implemented by the responsible standardization of the archiving processes will be more comfortable and faster to register.

In order to facilitate the middle to lower economic level people to have a decent housing, the government established Perumnas. Citizens wishing to improve their land title to HM (Ownership Right) on residential houses purchased from the Right to Use (HGB). This process must meet the prescribed requirements. The research method used was sociological juridical approach with analytical descriptive research specification, while the data analysis method used was descriptive qualitative. Based on the results of study in Korpri Housing Bangetayu Wetan Semarang and Land Office of Semarang City, it can be concluded that the procedure for submission of HGB to HM, the applicant has to visit the Land Office of Semarang City and complete some administrative requirements in the form of filling registration form, ID Card, IMB, HPL Holders Recommendation Perumnas, SPPT PBB of the current year, land ownership statement not more than 5 fields, and power of attorney if the application is authorized. Some obstacles in the application of the upgrade from SHGB on HPL Perumnas land become SHM are some people do not know or less understand about the procedure and requirement to upgrade their right, so that they give authorized to Notary/PPAT (Land Deed Officials), effort in IMB, the house is used as houseshop instead of residence. The way to solve it is by conducting further socialization to the community through BPN (National Land Agency) service, Notary/PPAT and physical inspection of residential houses for which the rights are requested.Keywords: Housing; Perumnas; Right to Manage; Ownership Right; Right to Builds.

Land administration is established to manage the people-to-land relationship. However, it is believed that 70% of the land in developing countries is unregistered. In the case of Ecuador, the government has an ambitious strategy to implement a national cadaster on the full territory in a short time period. Therefore, the objective of this study was the assessment of land administration in Ecuador based on the fit-for-purpose approach as an assessment framework. A literature review was performed on the topic of land administration, including guidelines for improvement and assessment frameworks. The basic concept of fit-for-purpose land administration was reviewed with the three frameworks, which are: spatial, legal, and institutional. Interviews and focus group discussions were performed in Ecuador for collecting primary and secondary data about land administration in this country. Results from these activities are presented and discussed using the structure of the basic concept of fit-for-purpose land administration with the three frameworks. It was found that during the field data collection precise land survey of fixed boundaries was performed and around 55–60 attributes per parcel were collected as a part of the field land survey in Ecuador. Based on the findings, discussions were developed, and a score table was created identifying which principles should be addressed if rapid mapping and land registration are desired by the government of Ecuador to be implemented on the whole territory in a short time period. Finally, the paper ends with conclusions and recommendations.

Abstract. Access to reliable land information is a fundamental requirement for effective land administration, management, and planning and for the sustainable development of any nation. Many developing countries are faced with the absence of an adequate or coordinated land administrative system that are fit for purpose. The use of desktop geographic information system has been an effective tool for capturing, storing, analyzing, and making land information available. However, in most cases, land information is still largely inaccessible to the public where and when is needed at an instant. With the internet being an integral part of society, it is a powerful means for people to exchange and process information. The main objective of this work has been to develop a web-based LIS that facilitates users’ access and retrieval of land information. In view this, QGIS was used for data processing, PostgreSQL was used for the database design while QGIS Cloud was used to expose the data as geospatial web services. Web-GIS functionality was extended with the help of OpenLayers API. The system is composed of a single database, a web mapping application and an interactive website that provides for pan, zoom, and query in GIS functionality. Adopting the system will ensure an easy flow of land information and ensures there is well-structured process of collecting, storing, and disseminating land information. However, the adoption of LADM may be possible in the nearest future.

Major cities and urban areas are beginning to develop and use 3D properties and public facilities. Consequently, 3D cadastral surveys are increasingly being employed for strata unit ownership registration as a part of land administration services. At present, most national land information systems do not support 2D and 3D cadastral visualizations. A field survey or validation survey is required to determine the geometry of 3D spatial units for property registration. However, the results of 3D surveys and mapping are not stored in the land information system. This work aims to integrate 2D and 3D geospatial data of property units collected from cadastral surveys with their corresponding legal data. It reviews the workflow for the use of 3D survey data for first-titling of 3D properties in Indonesia. A scenario of use and a prototype were developed based on existing practices and the possibility of extending Indonesia’s Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) to represent 3D units. Data submitted to the prototype as 3D geometries was survey data from 3D cadastral surveys or validation surveys utilizing terrestrial survey methods. The prototype used PostGIS and Cesium Ion to store 3D geometries of data from six 3D surveys. Registrars in local land offices could use the prototype to undertake strata unit registration that establishes a relationship among geospatial features and their survey documents and legal documents. Cesium JS was used as a 3D browser, customized as a web application, to manage and visualize 3D survey data to support strata title registration. The results demonstrate that the first titling of 3D cadaster objects could be conducted and properly visualized in Indonesia by extending the existing LADM with more support for 3D spatial representations and survey documents.

3D situation and development system of land administration is seen to be an immediate solution to land interest and land use complexity in our populated areas. The interest in land and the people relationship to the land in their Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities (RRR) are the major challenges facing in the urban cities. 2D cadastre has proven to be incapable of handling some cities complexities and urban growth especially in the underground utilities, space above and below the surface of the earth. There is no visualization and modelling in our traditional 2D cadastre. 3D situation would help in the land administration because it is capable of storing, updating, analyzing, manipulating, quarrying and visualizing land RRR. The technical, legal and institutional aspect of 3D aspect provides a conceptual framework for the successful implementation and its development in Nigerian major cities. Therefore, this paper presents a case study approach to Malaysian 3D property situation because land administration in the two countries is similar. Malaysia has successfully developed and adopted 3D property development and implementation in most of their cities over the years. In view of this, we present the recent situation and current cadastral system as a prospect for Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) implementation in Nigeria. The successful implementation of 3D situation in Malaysia as an initiative for Nigerians was discussed. And finally, the solutions and advantages of 3D situation to the people and government of Nigeria were discussed.

The cardinal objective of this study is to examine the impact of Land Title Document on credit access and business growth.  A case study was applied on Nasarawa state, Nigeria to better understand the phenomenon been researched. Information was gathered from the field through face-to-face interviews and through the administering of questionnaire among business operators in some selected towns. The research revealed that a large proportion of respondents do not have Land Title Document to their business premises and that they have never made a request for it from government agency before. 60.00% of respondents’ responded that the duration of the processing of the document takes months/years.  44.52% of respondents reported that never have banks made request for  the document before granting loan facilities while  30.24%  of respondents’ indicated ‘yes, often’. From the responses, 40.47% of respondents were of the view that possession of ‘C of O’ document will not enhance their capital based and business expansion. The views of the respondents suggest that delay is a major problem in the processing of Land Title Document. Among the reasons cited for the delays are problems with documentation and legal issues. A reasonable percentage of respondents (31.43%) were of the view that the cost of obtaining ‘C of C’ is high and difficult in the State. A suggested solution is that the government agency handling this document should be reorganize and the steps required to obtain this document should be reduced and made uniform within the State.
