Recent developments in digital technologies have opened new and previously unimagined possibilities for the exploitation of cartographic heritage. In particular, georeferencing converts old maps from pure archival documents to real geographic data. This study investigated the issue of georeferencing the historical maps which are currently preserved at the State Archive of Como. These maps, abou...

Study cadastral reform procedures as applied in developed countries, take into consideration automation of the cadastre and the role of the cadastre as part of a larger land information system, evaluate trends in this field and produce a vision of where cadastral systems will be in the next 20 years, show the means by which these changes will be achieved and describe the technology to be used i...

Modern heritage protection goes beyond the mere of individual buildings and objects. technologies techniques field data capture visual (3D) presentations are increasingly penetrating this becoming more essential necessary for archives, cadastres, users visitors museums, exhibitions, collections, archaeological parks. In area between Kotlje Ravne na Koroškem, Slovenia, in 1476–1477, 9 to 10 anti...

Given the growing needs of renewable energy in urban areas, identifying suitable installation locations for solar systems is increasingly important. Existing energetic cadastres have often a limited level of detail in the analysed geometry, which needs to be rapidly updated following any changes in the buildings. The required 3D data can be generated by photogrammetry techniques and Structure-f...

Land administration systems, and particularly their core cadastral components, are an important infrastructure which facilitates the implementation of land use policies. While most land administration systems traditionally have a primary objective of supporting the operation of land markets, they are increasingly evolving into a broader land information infrastructure which supports economic de...

Among 3D models, Building Information Models (BIM) can potentially support the integrated management of buildings’ physical and legal aspects in cadastres. However, there is not a systematic approach to author cadastral information into BIM models. Moreover, common approaches for data validation only check final output, they ignore generation steps as potential avenues validation. Therefore, th...

In this paper, we present a data model for 3D geometry and topology in a 3D-GIS. This data model includes the concept of several views for the same feature, which enables several presentations of the same data. Together with a spatial index, this view-concept will be used to visualize the 3D-GIS data in a distributed networking environment. The data model and the progressive transmission is tes...

Historical maps, especially those at a small scale and rich in detail (e.g., the old “Cadastres”), represent an exceptionally important tool for understanding recent historical evolution of landscapes. The note describes example territory Gubbio, Umbria (Central Italy), where map from end 16th century shows drawing hydrographic network partially different current one. A multidisciplinary study ...

This paper provides an insight to the drivers, design elements and issues associated with spatially enabling the management of coastal zones, in particular coastal property rights, restrictions and responsibilities. Coastal zones are encumbered by hundreds of property rights, restrictions, and responsibilities. These are created to manage coastal population increases, climate change, and to del...
