GIS-based cadastral systems are among the most popular GIS applications in many countries. Cadastre systems are typically used to serve administrative mandates such as recording and managing land ownership, tracking land values, and estimating taxes. In addition, cadastre systems are the foundation of many digital government services, such as real estate, rural development, agricultural and forest management, utilities, banks, mortgage applications, and many other services and products.
GIS Land Records/Cadastre Management Systems can provide several benefits to governments and businesses, including:
Improved efficiency: GIS Land Records/Cadastre Management Systems can help improve land administration efficiency by making it easier to access and update land records.
Reduced fraud: GIS Land Records/Cadastre Management Systems can help reduce fraud by making it more difficult to forge land records.
Improved decision-making: GIS Land Records/Cadastre Management Systems can help improve decision-making by providing decision-makers access to accurate and up-to-date land information.
