Spatial classification of land parcels in land administration systems
Inan, Halil Ibrahim et al.
Types of land parcels in Land Administration Systems (LAS) are mostly classified differently in different countries or in different regions of the same country. Different classification systems may be caused by the related legal framework, the parties involved in the process or even different customs. However, they are mainly caused by the fact that there is no standardization for such a classification. Standardization of classes of land parcel type may be possible and may increase its multipurpose use. In fact, in Turkey, it is strongly needed to separate land use/cover classes and annexes of the land parcel in the classification of land parcel types. However, this will not be a complete resolution in terms of multipurpose use within spatial data infrastructures (SDI). In this study, a new style of spatial classification is proposed. The proposed solution requires further development of land administration systems towards the basic building block of SDI. The solution proposes to store different land use/cover classes with permanent boundaries within land parcels with their own geometries which are topologically dependent on the land parcel. The solution is especially functional for agricultural policy implementation in rural areas and has the potential to be effective also for other multi-purposes such as the production of precise descriptive statistical data, planning, land development, construction of engineering structures and other land management activities.
