Leveraging BIM for the LADM Part 4 - Valuation Information Model: the case study of Cyprus

Building Information Model (BIM) is a powerful tool for managing and utilizing data throughout the lifecycle of buildings and infrastructure. This paper explores the options, and considerations, of using BIM data for the Land Administration (LA) domain. The ISO19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), as a widely recognized international...

Refining legal Land Administration-related aspects in LADM

Among the topics that are introduced and/ or being refined in the context of the revision of the LADM 19152:2012, the legal Land Administration-related aspects are being investigated. With the knowledge and the experience from the developments of the LADM so far, and the ongoing discussion between the parties involved in the standardisation...

Modelling 3D legal spaces of Public Law Restrictions within the context of LADM revision

Intense exploitation of land in the vertical direction has brought up complex legal relations between different types of spatial units with various characteristics (e.g., land, marine, air, underground parcels, and infrastructure objects). Therefore, the use of 3D models is required to clearly represent real property and associated Rights,...

LADM country profiles development: Aspects to be reflected and considered

The wider recognition and use of ISO 19152 LADM Edition I, is mainly documented through the country profiles that have been developed in multiple jurisdictions across the world. Various approaches for developing country profiles have been followed, without acting in accordance with a specific (official or unofficial) roadmap or methodology. This...

Investigating 3D spatial units’ types as basis for refined 3D spatial profiles in the context of LADM revision

Dense urbanisation has led to an increasing demand and pressure for land development, resulting in the partition of 3D space into different owners sharing delimited property interests on, above or below the land surface. Consequently, cadastral spatial units range from simple, but most common, 2D, to complex 3D collections of spaces worldwide,...

Determining the “true” three-dimensional environmental impact of Public Law Restrictions

The needs of modern, heavily urbanised societies, require, on the one hand, the most efficient exploitation of land by individual stakeholders and, on the other hand, have set up a variety of restrictions and regulations for the public benefit. Such restrictions are steadily growing in number and apply in various areas. Given the technological...

3D Cadastre and LADM – Needs and Expectations towards LADM Revision

The last decade, significant progress has been made in advancing the concept of 3D Cadastre and related technologies to facilitate its realisation. There are many examples of partial implementation and prototypes of 3D parcels registration around the world as stated by Kitsakis et al (2016) and Dimopoulou et al (2016) regarding selected...

Formalizing Implementable Constraints in the INTERLIS Language for Modelling Legal 3D RRR Spaces and 3D Physical Objects

Building Information Models (e.g. BIM, IFC) and virtual 3D city models (e.g. CityGML) are revolutionising the way we manage information about cities. The main focus of such models is on the physical and functional characteristics of urban structures (Aien et al, 2015). On the other hand cadastral data models, (e.g. Land Administration Domain...

Initial Registration of 3D Parcels

Registering the rights of a 3D parcel provides certainty of ownership, protection of rights and unambiguous spatial location. While not all cadastral jurisdictions in the world maintain a digital cadastral database, the concepts of such registration hold true regardless of whether it is a paper-based cadastre or a digital one. Similarly, the...

Management of Marine Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities according to International Standards

The interests, responsibilities and opportunities of states to provide infrastructure and resource management are not limited to their land territory but extend to marine areas as well. So far, although the theoretical structure of a Marine Administration System (MAS) is based on the management needs of the various countries, the marine terms...

Possibilities of Integrating Public Law Restrictions to 3D Cadastres

Modern urban environment is characterized by intense vertical exploitation of real property. This has resulted in complex and interlocking structures, also reflecting to vertically overlapping real property rights, intensifying the need for 3D cadastral systems. Additionally, a significant number of Public Law Restrictions (PLRs), defined by an...

Contribution of Existing Documentation in 3D Cadastre

Over the last decades, land exploitation is getting more intense in order to satisfy public and private needs of modern societies. The intensification of 3D space exploitation includes complicated rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRRs) that need to be unambiguously registered. In this direction, the incorporation of 3D aspects of real...

LADM as a Basis for the Hellenic Archaeological Cadastre

Greece consists of a complex-structured environment, with horizontal, vertical and mixed properties in which is exercised a variety of property rights. The Hellenic Cadastre (HC) applies to a two-dimensional registration system, with the property being the core of the system and quest of the legal information (Tsiliakou and Dimopoulou, 2011)....

Social Media and e-Land Governance: An Expert-based Evaluation Model

Social media may be seen as the future of ICT tools; its popularity has sparked a demand for new forms of e-land governance through the context of location-based social media and offers great opportunities for reinforcement of the two-ways communication and citizens’ participation in location-based decision making processes. However, social...

Legal Aspects of 3D Property Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities in Greece and Cyprus

This paper aims to identify and evaluate the constraints imposed by the legal framework both in Greece and Cyprus that prohibit the extensive development and application of 3D Cadastres. Property laws and customary rights in both countries present several similarities; e.g. co-ownership in shares as the result of the existing inheritance system,...

Adjusting the 2D Hellenic Cadastre to the Complex 3D World – Possibilities and Constraints

The Hellenic Cadastre (HC) collects information on property objects, in order to cover the entirety of the Greek territory and according to its action plan, this information is in reference with the land-parcel and is analyzed on the two dimensions of the real objects. However, according to Dimopoulou et al (2006), registering property objects...
