Land and geographic information, an important part of the infrastructure of Sweden
Lauri, Bo
Lantmmteriet is a Government agency. The mission is to give support for creating an efficient and sustainable use of Swedenns real property, land and water. The organisation has three main activities, which also form the organisational structure: Cadastral services, Land and Geographic Information Services, and Metria (working on a competitive, commercial basis). Swedesurvey is the overseas agency of Lantmmteriet. Land and Geographic Information Services include the analysis and establishment of demands and needs of geographic and real property information in society. It also includes the efficient collection, storage and administration of such information. The collection is carried out by Lantmmteriet itself or in co-operation with other public agencies or organisations in society. An important task is to make the information available and used by a broad spectrum of users thereby contributing to efficiency, improvement and renewal in the public as well as in the private sector. Dissemination of information is carried out through resellers. It is a demand of increased availability of our customer services via the Internet. Other demands are standardized interfaces and information models to enable network based resources of information. In my presentation I will give an overview of the Land and Geographic Information System in Sweden. The benefits, important components and future trends will be highlighted. The conclusion is that Good Land Administration brings economic growth and wealth into a nation in a way few other institutional arrangements can do.
