Integrated flood disaster management and spatial information: Case studies of Netherlands and India

Spatial Information is an integral part of flood management practices which include risk management & emergency response processes. Although risk & emergency management activities have their own characteristics, for example, related to the time scales, time pressure, activities & actors involved, it is still possible to identify at least one...

3D Cadastral complexities in dense urban areas

The current paper aims to study the multi-stakeholding urban area locations in Delhi and around where (infrastructural) changes are creating the complex land management situations for the authorities involved

3D Cadastral Complexities in Dense Urban Areas of Developing countries: Case Studies from Delhi and Satellite Towns

Cadastral systems based on 2D spatial representation have served land administration and property management well for centuries. In India, the basic unit of the cadastral record is the land parcel, which is known as plot. Maintenance of land records with ownership; assessment of tax on the property and tax collection is the responsibility of...

Spatial dimensions of land administration and user rights over groundwater: Case study of Kerala, India vs. Coca Cola

Supporting the management of rights related to groundwater based on input from hydrogeology software is contributing to bridging the gap between the technical and administrative aspects of groundwater management. The research reported herein is focused on a specific example (or ‘use case’ in UML terminology), resulting from a court action by...

Groundwater management in land administration: A spatio-temporal perspective

Although the use of land and water is intertwined, specifics for groundwater management are not effectively dealt with in the laws and other institutional mechanisms related to land. Provisions for groundwater aspects in land management are there, but with a focus on the land itself. Land rights and restrictions are more or less static, lacking...

Data consistency checks for building a 3D model: A case study of Technical University, Delft Campus, The Netherlands

GIS is changing rapidly its face with the advancement of computing technologies. From merely a 2D representation of real world features, it is moving to present more and more applications in 3D formats. Today 3D GIS is an essential way of handling the spatial data in urban planning. In cities where every inch of land is measured and is consumed...
