“…Challenges include, amongst others, incomplete recordation, and unresolved and/or escalated disputes that exacerbate, small and large-scale investments. Such situations can be observed in various developing regions, with sub Saharan Africa being one example (Zevenbergen et al, 2013). the work combines an ICT innovation process -involving a broad range of stakeholders -with emergent geospatial technologies, including smart sketchmaps, Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), automated feature extraction, and geocloud services.…”

ABSTRACT:In large parts of sub Saharan Africa it remains an ongoing challenging to map millions of unrecognized land rights. Existing approaches for recognizing these rights have proven inappropriate in many cases. A new generation of tools needs to be developed to support faster, cheaper, easier, and more responsible land rights mapping. This is the main goal of its4land, an European Commission Horizon 2020 project that aims to develop innovative tools inspired by the continuum of land rights, fit-for-purpose land administration, and cadastral intelligence. its4land is using strategic collaboration between the EU and East Africa to deliver innovative, scalable, and transferrable ICT solutions. The innovation process incorporates a broad range of stakeholders and emergent geospatial technologies, including smart sketchmaps, UAVs, automated feature extraction, as well as geocloud services. The aim is to combine innovative technologies, capture the specific needs, market opportunities and readiness of end-users in the domain of land tenure information recording in Eastern Africa. The project consists of a four year work plan, €3.9M funding, and eight consortium partners collaborating with stakeholders from six case study locations in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda. The major tasks include tool development, prototyping, and demonstration for local, national, regional, and international interest groups. The case locations cover different land uses such as: urban, peri-urban, rural smallholder, and (former) pastoralist. This paper describes the project's activities within the first 18 months and covers barriers discovered, lessons learned and results achieved.

“…Enemark's (2010) paper on 'From cadastre to land governance' identifies the crucial role information plays in decision-making and problem solving relating to land. In line with this, contemporary literature (e.g., Williamson et al, (2010); Bennett et al (2012), Zevenbergen et al (2013)) explain the roles of cadastral information in facilitating service delivery, land market functionality, and improved land use. In addition, establishing land rights and tenure security via cadastres and land registration systems can support a bottom-up development processes (Rudi et al 2014).…”

“…For example, the 1995 FIG statement on cadastre laid the foundation for the nature and design of future cadastral and land registration systems (FIG 1995 The support of cadastres, land registration, land administration, and land governance, in dealing with different aspects of present and future urban people-to-urban land relationships, in line with the notion of sustainable urban development agendas, are extensively discussed in literature (c.f. Bennett et al (2010), Williamson et al (2010), Zevenbergen et al (2013) and Henssen (2010a)). Next, each one of this is discussed.…”

“…The definition shows the cadastral system is central for the broader purposes of the land administration system: both the spatial and attribute information in the cadastral system are pertinent in land administration functions: they support the establishment of tenure security, land and property taxation, land market monitoring, land dispute reduction, urban planning, and infrastructural development projects, amongst other activities (c.f. Williamson et al (2010), Zevenbergen et al (2013) and Henssen (2010a). The broader land administration system in general and its core component, the cadastral systems in particular, are subjected to continuous evolution and reform (c.f.…”

“…Roberge et al (2011) empirically examine local governance through the analysis of forest certification performances: the studied certification process fosters relationships between the state, civil society, and business actors. Zevenbergen et al (2013) discuss that a land recordation system comprising of land registration and cadastral systems would contribute to pro-poor land administration and land governance. Koontza and Newig (2014) analyze participation in governance activities in the implementation of an EU Water Framework Directive: information transmission is limited across levels during planning and implementation.…”
