LADM_CP_Honduras_An information system for an integral approach to land management
Jan Koers, Rodimiro Cerrato Espinal
In a new and integral land management approach in four municipalities in Honduras and Guatemala, the Land Administration Domain Model has been
used as a tool in support of system development for land administration. With the necessary additions to the core LADM conceptual schema, it has been possible to implement a complete and coherent system for land administration.
A pilot implementation for municipal information infrastructure in four municipalities (Puerto Cortes, Omoa and Tela in Honduras and Puerto Barrios in Guatemala) set out to test improved management of geographic information, known as the GIT (Gestión Integral de Tierras or ‘Integrated Land Management’) project. Data is now published on the internet for online access by citizens, a one-stop shop has been introduced, and integration of data at different levels avoids data duplication. One very important consequence of improved access has been increased trust through more transparency.
