Society driven innovations in land administration
Lemmen, Christiaan, Peter van Oosterom, Kees de Zeeuw & Martin Salzmann
Motto of this paper is: "Spatial enablement of society is only possible with forward planning and a shared vision of what is possible. This vision is at the heart of the next generation of Land Administration systems" (Williamson et al, 2010). Our society is digitising rapidly. This also affects cadastral and land-administration organisations. Due to fast IT-developments and globalisation, the demand for data and services changes from office-based applications towards web-based and location-based. There is both a growing ability and need to analyse complex issues. Furthermore, decision making is done more and more in virtual (spatial) environments. Hence, the provision of high-quality authentic governmental data and services becomes more important. With this in mind one may wonder what will be the consequences of this in 15 years time. This paper tries to give a perspective. The influence of ICT-related developments is treated: Mature Information Infrastructure; Dynamic Process Models; 3D (and 4D) Space+Time Administration; Parcel Design Applications; More Than Traditional Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities; Faster and More Direct Updating by Actors; International Seamless Registration; Semantic Web-Based Content; Mobile Applications and Monitoring Applications. All this in the context of Shared Information Services.
