The Role of LADM in Configurable Geographic Information Systems

Utilizing common language within industries has long been a successful pattern within geographic information systems (GIS) to assist in identification of suitable industry specific workflows. As technology itself advances, the need for highly accessible common industry language is even more pronounced. The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM)...

Considering parameter uncertainty in a GIS-based sliding surface model for large areas

The GIS-based open source software r.slope.stability computes broad-scale spatial overviews of shallow and deep-seated slope stability through physically-based modelling. We focus on the landslide-prone 90 km2 Collazzone area, central Italy, exploiting a comprehensive set of lithological, geotechnical and landslide inventory data available for...

Modeling Morpho-Structural Settings Exploiting Bedding Data Obtained through the Interpretation of Stereoscopic Aerial Photographs

Landslide abundance is controlled by multiple factors, including the presence and attitude of beddings, foliation, faults, joints and cleavage systems. Few attempts were made to exploit bedding attitude (BA) data (or data on similar types of rock discontinuities) in statistical or physically based models for regional slope stability analysis. A...

Aspects of Representing LiDAR Data Used for Updating

Performing environmental spatial analysis requires the collection of base data and special data, subject to the type of analysis in hand, among this data of course LiDAR data can be of much usefulness, in our particular case mobile network data were collected to assess the usefulness of using it for updating some features of the base map that...

LADM in the Cloud 1

New innovative cadastral projects are embracing satellite imagery and crowd sourcing, integrating disparate data sets, and leveraging all types of devices including smart phones and tables require new lightweight, easy-to-use technology for sustainable, reliable results. Technologies such as the cloud, appear on the surface to be unrealistic in...

Exploring Reciprocal Relationships of Land-Uses in a Historical Mixed-Use Quarter of Istanbul: Measuring mixed-use patterns of Cihangir

In this paper we explore the land-use patterns of a historical mixed-use quarter of Istanbul by focusing on the reciprocal relationships of housing and commercial uses. We are concerned with the distribution of land-use patterns based on spatial adjacency and land-use patterns within the buildings. We measure reciprocal relationships of housing...

3D Cadastre in Singapore

Property rights have always been shown in 2D with the surface parcel being the fundamental representation of ownership. Complex 3D situations, interlocking properties, multi-levelled train station, underground rock caverns are all immediate but unresolved challenges for us in Singapore. Volumetric parcels such as strata subdivision, subterranean...

3D Cadastre Development in Hungary

Geometric part of the Unified Hungarian Land Registry (Cadastral maps) has been operating in standardized environment since 1996. MSZ 7772-1 Standard on Digital Base Map (developed by Institute of Geodesy Cartography and Remote Sensing, FÖMI) — based on the pre ISO and CEN standards on Geographic Information — defines a 3D relational database...

WEB Portal for Dissemination of Spatial Data and Services for the Needs of the Agency for Real Estate Cadastre of the Republic of Macedonia (AREC)

The possibilities offered in these modern times, regarding the accessibility to information, electronic communication, IT technology, safety standards, acceptable economic elements and most importantly the good ideas are the moving forces that are carrying the society to a new advanced level. In this direction, also, tends the global idea...

ArcGIS for Land Records: Current Status and Future 3D Considerations

3D cadastre is necessary to display and manage complex spatial relationships. To support a full 3D cadastral implementation, object boundary definitions, object topologies and their legal representations will have to be further defined. A hybrid approach combining 2D and 3D using GIS represents a feasible, economical and extensible approach....

The space-scale cube: An integrated model for 2D polygonal areas and scale

This paper introduces the concept of a space-scale partition, which we term the space-scale cube – analogous with the space-time cube (first introduced by Hägerstrand, 1970). We take the view of '"map generalization is extrusion of 2D data into the third dimension" (as introduced by Vermeij et al., 2003). An axiomatic approach formalizes the...

GIS in the World Trade Center response: 10 years after

The World Trade Center attack of 9/11/01 and the response brought major attention to GIS as a valuable tool for supporting emergency management and response. That attention led to the allocation of considerable resources to the enhancement of GIS. This paper is intended to provide a look back at the events prior to and immediately following the...

Geographic objects: Theory or technology driven?

This article aims to compare the geo-graphic (spatial) objects in 2D (planar objects) proposed by CON.G.O.O. and ISO standards, and the ability of a number of GIS software to handle them. The results achieved so far showed that the actual technical possibilities are not always sufficient to support the complex spatial objects proposed by CON.G.O.O.

Evaluation of an integrated GIS-based crime analysis & 3D modelling for Izmir-Konak municipality

GIS integrated 3D modelling is crucial for the city planning and design processes because urban modelling is a tool used in virtual environments, and provides convenience to work. Although, the creation and display of 3D city models for large regions is difficult it is vital for planning and designing safer cities, as well as public places....

Integrating quality management into a 3D geospatial server

In recent years the technology and workflow for producing and management of large 3D urban models has been established and widely been used. Standards such as CityGML enable the modelling and exchange of semantically enriched multi-purpose 3D urban models for applications like urban planning, public participation, environmental simulation and...
