Sustainable development, micro-economic reform, globalisation and technology are highlighted as the drivers for change. The changing spatial information environment with emphasis on land administration and cadastral issues is examined by drawing on research being undertaken ...

A graph G = (V, E) is called a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists a tree T , a positive edge-weight function w on T , and two non-negative real numbers dmin and dmax, dmin ≤ dmax, such that V coincides with the set of leaves of T , and there is an edge (u, v) ∈ E if and only if dmin ≤ dT,w(u, v) ≤ dmax where dT,w(u, v) is the sum of the weights of the edges on the unique path fr...

Land administration started with a manual land tax collection and subsequently moved towards computerised system to improve the land information delivery services. However, three factors in non-technical integration issues (institutional, legalisation and social) have turned out to be the main problems for land administration stakeholders especially at national level for multi-government countr...
