LADM_CP_China_A Country Profile of the Land Administration Domain Model-with a Focus on Land and Housing Integration
Yuefei Zhuo
Land and housing are not only the basis for the existence and development of human but also important guarantees for the economic development and social stability, especially in urban areas. Due to their mutually dependent existence in reality, the transfer or mortgage of housing would also require the transfer or mortgage of its appurtenant land at the same time. As a result of the integrated natural property of land and housing, the certificate of housing and land could not be isolated and should provide a uniform certification. Moreover, from the legal perspective, a number of provisions have formulated that it is necessary to introduce an integrated mechanism for land and housing management, especially for the registration issue.
However, in most regions of China, land and housing are still managed by two different departments, namely the MLR and the MOHURD. Such separate modes of land and housing bring about inconveniences for real estate development, transactions and also leads to a number of disadvantages in actual practices.
As for this integration problem, this thesis tries to solve it from the technical perspective. Meanwhile, according to the Land Administration Maturity Model (LAMM) which was introduced by Prof. Peter van Oosterom, this research attempts to solve the problem at the standardization stage. Thus, the principle of Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) - ISO standard 19152 is introduced then. Based on this basic knowledge, the design task of LADM country profile for China is carried out. Specifically, this task can be divided into three main phases: analysis of required and current structure for land and housing database in China, design of tl1e LADN[ country profile for China based on these analysis results and the evaluation of this country profile.
Specifically, first of all, on the basis of related laws and regulations, a series of legal requirements for the integrated mechanism for land and housing management in China is collected. Then, the current stt1.1cture for land and housing database is studied by referring the SULBRD standard, which takes the Chongqing municipality for example. Next, based on these two analysis outputs, the country profile for China is developed in accordance with the LADM standard. Finally, in order to evaluate this country profile, an evaluation. framework is established. It generally consists of two main parts: on one hand, the requirements verification. is to verify the achievement of legal requirements collected in the analysis stage. On the other hand, the abstract test suite is carried out to examine the compliance of the country profile for China.
Following the procedure above, a LADM country profile for China is designed. As for this country profile, its foundations are relevant legal requirements collected from related laws and regulations and the SULBRD. Considering the focus of this research, the integrated structure for land and housing database is one of key features in the country profile. Moreover, within this country profile, any key feature is that it covers the domain of both land and housing management of China in general.
