Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The administration of land tenure, value, and use is undergoing a new wave of technological innovation. The maturation and scaled implementation of crowdsourced data capture techniques, imagery-based mapping approaches, and cloud storage options are all adding to the expanded land administration toolbox. Meanwhile, a mix of even more novel developments is under development, including adoption of big data capture feeding into artificial intelligence applications, including automatic parcel boundary extraction, automated valuation models, mass valuation, and computer-assisted land use planning decision support systems for smart cities. Countering these positive developments in the land administration domain are ongoing challenges relating to land rights inequality, slum formation, food insecurity, and exposure to disasters, amongst others. The challenge remains to better harness technological advancement to better support fair and responsible relationships between people and land.
This Special Issue focuses on how innovative approaches to land tenure, land value, and land use planning can directly contribute, both positively and negatively, to these societal issues at local, national, and global levels.
We invite papers that link innovative technologies in the areas of land tenure administration, land value modeling, and land use planning to specific societal problems such as climate change, land tenure insecurity, gender access to land, rapid urbanization, food security, and poverty reduction.
