A Paradigm of Improving Land Information Management

The information on land is a basic resource at the economic, social, and industrial levels. Many approaches have been made to enhance integrating the geospatial technology, enable managing the geospatial features, and provide decision makers with capabilities for best land governance. The goal behind this chapter is to develop an approach dealing with a necessary paradigm of improving land information management. Such approach is made up of a series of the fundamental requirements and principles. The requirements encompass the fundamental geodetic network supporting spatial infrastructure, a series of large-scale maps, an integrated land administration system, and a basic conceptual core model for the land information system. The principles of the new paradigm will be discussed. To achieve such objective, the object oriented approach as an emerging methodology was followed to improve land administration and management.
