Fit for Purpose Land Administration
The need for scalable, sustainable and affordable approaches
We live in an insecure era with climate change, conflicts, dense populations, and increasing poverty and inequity. Good land administration is a basic requirement for governments and societies to address these challenges.
Many guidelines, tools and frameworks have been developed, and are freely available to guide decision makers and professionals towards good land administration. Still, the practical implementations by Land Administration Authorities demand good decision support for making the best choices in IT, capacity development and financial investment.
The Fit for Purpose Land Administration approach is helpful in this decision support. Key elements in the systems to be developed is that they are scalable, sustainable and affordable. This is affected by the choices made for data modeling, technology and system architecture. The geospatial framework that is developed, should be in balance with the (national) legal and institutional framework.
