Developing an LADM-compliant Mobile Data Collector for Accelerating Participatory Cadastral Mapping and Registration Activities

Abstract

Land registration activities emerge as a national priority aiming at completing land registration progress for all unregistered land parcels in Indonesia by the year 2024. A national project on systematic land registration has been implemented to map all land parcels and to certify unregistered land parcels nationwide from village to village. The country’s current progress on land registration program uncovers an essential need for mobile technology adoption to help accelerate map all land parcels completely while to reassure land data quality. Local land offices and project executors see a mobile application as an alternative that facilitates public participation and supports surveyor’s tasks to collect land boundaries and their associated formal data for land registration purposes. As a result, various tools of data collectors have been implemented by surveyors and project contractors for enabling field data collection. Unfortunately, these tools provided challenges on data standardisation and data usability hindering an efficient land registration to take place.
