3D Land Administration for 3D Land Uses

Organising land information for sustainable land administration

Property ownership rights are well managed and understood in developed countries. They are backed by long-standing theoretical, legal and institutional frameworks. In contrast, many new property interests created by governments in response to concerns for sustainability are often poorly managed and understood. If we are to achieve sustainability objectives, the design and administration of thes...

Integration of Land Administration Domain Model with CityGML for 3D Cadastre

As our urban environments are densifying, it is essential to extend traditional cadastral systems that are based on two dimensional representation of ownership to support 3D. With the need to define property ownership in vertical as well as horizontal dimensions becoming pertinent around the world, a practical solution to represent 3D cadastral data is needed. The Land Administration Domain Mod...

Disaggregate land uses and walking.

BACKGROUND Although researchers have explored associations between mixed-use development and physical activity, few have examined the influence of specific land uses. PURPOSE This study analyzes how the accessibility, intensity, and diversity of nonresidential land uses are related to walking for transportation. METHODS Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate associations be...

Land Administration for Sustainable Development

Predicting soil erosion for alternative land uses.

The APEX (Agricultural Policy-Environmental eXtender) model developed in the United States was calibrated for northwestern China's conditions. The model was then used to investigate soil erosion effects associated with alternative land uses at the ZFG (Zi-Fang-Gully) watershed in northwestern China. The results indicated that the APEX model could be calibrated reasonably well (+/-15% errors) to...
