Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Spatial data infrastructures need as a basis reliable and authoritative data that can only be provided by the land administration system. Official registers contain verified data that are generally guaranteed by states. They are the infrastructure for the implementation of land policies and land management strategies in support of sustainable development.

Cadastres, as the core of land administration systems in some countries, have a long history. The data registered in them are burdened with imperfections in the original measurements and in data processing. On the other hand, most countries do not have formally registered land and land tenures, and have a ubiquitous trend of building land administration systems. In both cases, there are numerous challenges in relation to geospatial data, from quality improvement to standardization linked to customer needs designed for sustainable land management.

Cadastres have been temporal databases from the beginning. In addition to the registration of changes, the time when the change occurred was also registered. Geospatial data were two-dimensional without heights. This is now a shortcoming that prevents the more versatile use of land administration systems. The inclusion of the third dimension in land administration is necessary to meet the needs of users. Such development leads to smart 4D land administration. 

In this Special Issue we expect the publication of research results that will provide answers to questions such as:

  • How can we improve the quality of existing data in land administration registers?
  • How can we improve the semantics and data models in land administration registers to achieve support for the development of 4D land administration?
  • What are the needs of users for the implementation of sustainable land management?
  • How can we ensure the continuous flow of geospatial data from BIM to land administration registers?
  • How can crowdsourced data be registered, and what is their reliability?
  • How can a cadastral survey become fit-for-purpose?
  • What is the role of land administration in SDI?
  • How can land administration contribute to the achievement of millennium goals?
  • How can blockchain speed up land administration processes?
  • What are the opportunities for using IoT in LAS?

Influence of Flight Height and Image Sensor on the Quality of the UAS Orthophotos for Cadastral Survey Purposes

The possibility of using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for cadastral survey purposes was investigated in this research. A study site consisting of 26 ground control points (GCP) and checkpoints (CP) was established. The study site was first measured by the classical methods of geodetic surveying, i.e., by the polar method using a total station. After that, all points were additionally measured by the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) method. The GNSS RTK method was used to determine the coordinates of all points in the official map projection of Croatia, HTRS96/TM, while the polar method was used to increase the positional “strength” of points in all directions, i.e., to improve the relative accuracy between them. Using UASs with different image sensor characteristics, the study site was measured by an aerial photogrammetry method at different flight heights with the purpose of obtaining a high-quality digital orthophoto plan (DOF). The absolute orientation of the model was performed using the external orientation data of each digital image based on GNSS and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) UAS’s sensors, as well as using GCPs. Achieved precision of obtained DOF, as well as accuracy analysis of aerial photogrammetry was performed by considering the adjusted survey data collected by classical and GNSS RTK methods as true values and comparing them with the coordinates obtained by the aerial photogrammetry method from DOFs. Based on the achieved results and conclusions obtained from the study site, the second field test was performed above a small settlement which served as an area for cadastral survey using the UAS and GNSS RTK method. Again, precision and accuracy were determined, based on which we derived recommendations and conclusions for using UASs for cadastral survey purposes. Full article

Land readjustment (LR) is increasingly applied as a tool of urban policy implementation in many countries of the world. In Serbia, LR is a new tool that is being introduced into the legal system and into planning practice, from which a significant contribution to the urban development of the country is expected. Countries have different models of LR, which are adjusted to the particular conditions specific for that society. This is to be expected, having in mind the specificity of each country. This paper presents the development of land readjustment models which are adjusted to Serbia, but could also be used in the countries of South-East Europe, considering that the predominant conditions are similar. The most important item in this process is defining the key elements which determine the nature of the model: the existence and appropriateness of the urban plan and the distribution of benefits from increased land value. The paper also presents a case study of LR implementation on the basis of defined models, after which an analysis of the outcomes is presented. It is concluded that by applying the LR models presented, numerous significant issues that occurred in the past can be solved. Full article

Land administration systems differ by their types and practices. The data dissemination practices are considered to be outdated, as in most cases the digitisation of land administration data was conducted to match the paper-based system. This paper reviews four different land administration data dissemination practices through four case studies, where each selected jurisdiction represents one land administration system type. The analysed LAS data dissemination practices were conducted for Croatia, England, New Zealand and Green County, OH, USA. The main goal of the analysis was to examine the differences and similarities between the respective countries’ land data practices provided by the excerpts related to one parcel. The identified differences and similarities might be of great use when it comes to further improvement and standardisation of land administration data dissemination practices. Full article

A systematic approach to the establishment of the Franciscan Cadastre, which has been performed in most Central European countries, has resulted in the following documents: cadastral maps, cadastral municipality boundary demarcation records, lists of land parcels, lists of building parcels and lists of possessors. The documentation, which is stored in various archives, is digitized and made available to users through catalogs. The availability of documentation was examined in this study using three services in the catalogs—discovery, view and download—of which the largest percentage of documents is available through the discovery service. Documents that are available through the discovery service are described by the metadata standards. In this study, we examined the applicability of geographic information metadata standards and metadata standards to archival documentation in catalogs in which cadastral documentation was found. We determined a lack of application of geoinformation metadata standards, as it was a cadastral dataset, which represented one of the fundamental spatial datasets. The semantic mapping of elements between the applied standards in the catalogs and the geoinformation metadata standard (ISO 19115) showed that it was possible to apply the ISO 19115 standard to documents resulting from the establishment of the cadastre.
