ItemDelivering 3D land and property management: a consideration of institutional challenges in an Australian context( 2012)Urbanisation presents myriad challenges for countries, primarily by increasing pressure on limited land resources through demands for housing, services and infrastructure. This is exacerbated in city centres, where land values are often highest, resulting in acute needs to effectively manage land resources while capitalising on land and property assets. A worldwide trend towards adopting and using 3D technologies and information to improve the management of land and property is apparent. Within land administration, the trend is evident in the development and implementation of 3D cadastres. However, the ability to introduce and sustainably use new technologies to improve land and property management depends on understanding the current institutional environment that underpins relevant processes. Institutions feature prominently in land administration literature but analysis is often undertaken without a theoretical framework specific to institutions. This precludes the ability to make comparisons across jurisdictions to deepen understanding of why some institutions work while others fail. This paper applies and incorporates insights from new institutional economics and the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework as an appropriate framework for analysis of the institutions supporting land and property information. Some preliminary considerations are provided. These identify institutional issues in using land and property information from an Australian perspective, specifically the state of Victoria, within the context of moving towards a 3D environment. They also assist diagnosis of future issues and potential directions for research.

Item3D land and property information system: a multi-level infrastructure for sustainable urbanisation and a spatially enabled society(GSDI, 2012)Urbanization is an inevitable part of the economic development process for any country and is considered a global phenomenon (World Bank, 2009). Currently, 50 percent of the world’s population resides in urban areas; by 2050, this ratio will reach 70 percent. This concentration of growth will place increasing pressure on land resources that are already in high demand. The achievement of sustainable development goals is therefore predicated on achieving sustainable urbanization. This paper considers the specific challenges of urbanization on land and property and the development of a three‐dimensional (3D) land and property information system as a new tool for managing rights, restrictions and responsibilities as part of a modern land administration system. This system aims to provide an infrastructure that allows for the integration of information pertaining to the built and natural environments using land and property as a common framework. By facilitating access, discovery, and sharing of land and property information, this system will provide a multi‐level infrastructure to link government, industry and citizens to support the functions of a modern land administration system which provides the foundation for realising a spatially enabled society and achieving sustainable development.
