Application of the land administration domain model in a 3d cadaster for Uganda.

Abstract

With the fast increase of urban environments around the world, more innovative and efficient land titling systems are needed to enable urban development in our crowded cities. Due to the scarcity of land, sophisticated infrastructures both below and above ground have been built, necessitating the registration of ownership of this infrastructure. Setting a conceptual model that takes into account all actors' individual requirements as users and/or administrators of land and real estate is one strategy to alleviate the land sector's existing restrictions. As a result, the goal of this study was to provide a comprehensive approach for capturing and manipulating data related to 3D property rights using the recently approved Land Administration Domain Model as an international standard and the current cadastral data model. A quantitative and design approach was used to provide an evaluation of the current status of the Land information system in Uganda. This study suggests that as the pressure on land increases the need for a way to create ways to handle three dimensional data is eminent and the model created can be considered the foundation or foot stool towards having 3D land administration.
