    3D data sourcing for land and property information: a geometric and semantic perspective
    JAZAYERI, IDA ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS ; Kalantari, Mohsen ( 2013)
    Population growth has prompted land administrators to re-evaluate the current land development cycle, incorporating the third dimension to enable a more complete and effective property registration system. This research, which centres on the 3D data sourcing methods, has suggested a set of data sourcing requirements. It is envisaged that the culmination of legal entities together with the geometric and semantic components of our cities in a 3D environment will enable a more complete and effective land and property information registration system that will in turn ultimately help decision-making processes in our governing bodies to better manage economic development and build sustainable communities. Focussing on two of these requirements (geometric and semantic) an investigation on data acquisition techniques is discussed. Implementation of UAV data is suggested as an effective data sourcing method, particularly for developing countries and poverty stricken areas, where low cost is critical.

    3D visualisation of cadastre
    Shojaei, David ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS ; Kalantari, Mohsen ; BISHOP, IAN (Institution of Surveyors Victoria, 2013)
    The importance of managing stratified ownership land rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRRs) are increasing due to population growth and land shortage, particularly in urban areas. As a result, stakeholders are looking for ways in order to manage land and property information more efficiently. Current approaches for managing and visualising land ownership rights are not efficient in very dense and complex urban areas. (From Introduction)

    Spatially enabled land administration: paradigm shift in land information management
    RAJABIFARD, ABBAS ; Kalantari, Mohsen ; WILLIAMSON, IAN ( 2013)
    The administration of land is challenged by the increasing need of clients for land information and by the creation of new land related commodities and interests. In this space, spatial information and technologies can change the way business and governments manage activities and solve problems in relation to land. Much information relates to place and locations. Some of this is spatial information, but a great deal is information that can be organised according to its impact on a place. These emerging spatial technologies potentially expand the capacity of societies. They provide possibilities for ordering information that are profoundly world changing. The more difficult task involves embedding new technologies into the most conservative and fundamental processes in land information and management of the land market, particularly, into the land registries. Regardless, the opportunities provided by emerging technologies are driving changes in the way governments interact with their citizens, principally in initiatives to spatially enable their processes, as well as their information .Building on the growing need for land information and availability of spatial technologies, this paper presents two paradigm shifts in collecting and managing land information in the context of spatially enabled land administration.
