Land management tool for local administrations

Ursu, Paul-Dan & Jill Urban-Karr

Local administrations (municipalities, county government, etc.) need to be able to accurately manage, enhance and promote their boundaries of responsibility. In todayys world of fastpaced decision-making and foreign investment, the local administration has expanded from an entity focused exclusively on the innerr activities of its jurisdiction to include the outerr focus of marketing and promotion, regional disaster planning and response, and compliance to EU and international mandates. In order to successfully provide both quality customer service to the citizens and respond to the increasing needs of numerous external factors, the local administration must have the proper tools to support management (primarily land/property based management), real-time decisions, and legal and regulatory requirements. This paper will present a general description of one such tool for local administrations, based on research conducted in Romanian localities. This tool is developed using a geodatabase solution that utilizes cadastre and ownership data as the foundation for local administration activities such as addressing, property valuation and taxation, disaster planning, comprehensive development planning, agricultural management (LPIS-IACS), infrastructure maintenance and improvement, permitting, and customer service.
