 ABSTRACT

This project is a cadastral mapping of Oda Bultum University, conducted by a group of

surveying engineering students as a semester project. The project aims to produce a cadastral
map of the university, including its socio-economic data, using various software such as ArcGIS,
Google Earth, and Microsoft Excel. The project acknowledges the Oda Bultum University, the
Faculty of Engineering Department of Surveying Engineering, and various individuals for their
support and guidance. The main objectives of the project include: Identifying the current
ownership information of the university's properties, Collecting and preparing a full socio-
economic profile of the area surrounding the university, Preparing a cadastral map using a Total
Station, Providing comprehensive information on the features of the campus, Identifying the true
location of the valuable features of the campus. The cadastral map will be useful for students,
officials, and visitors by providing a visual representation of the campus with complete
information on the features. The scope of the project is limited to Oda Bultum University,
located in Chiro city, Ethiopia, between a latitude of 40°86’88”E and longitude of 9°07’01” N.
The project faced limitations due to the lack of adequate instruments and technology, such as
differential GPS, satellite images, and RTK. Only a total station was available, which led to
errors in the collected data. The university was established in November 2015 G.C. and is
located 325 km southeast of Addis Ababa. The resulting cadastral map will show the man-made
features of the campus, including buildings and other relevant features. The project utilized
various tools and procedures: Fieldwork: Included the use of a total station, prism, meter, field
notebook, questionnaire papers, and mobile phones, Data collection: Employed methods such as
reconnaissance surveys, total station measurements, interviews, and mobile data collection,
Office work: Involved using software such as computers, Google Earth, TCX Converter,
Microsoft Excel, and ArcGIS 10.8.1. The project resulted in: A cadastral map of Oda Bultum
University and A parcel map of the study area. The project seeks to address the lack of a
comprehensive cadastral map for the university, providing information about the location,
ownership, and key features of Oda Bultum University.

 CHAPTER ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL OVER VIEW OF CADASTRAL MAP

A cadastral map is a map that shows the boundaries and ownership of land parcels. Some
cadastral maps show additional details, such as survey district names, unique identifying
numbers for parcels, certificate of title numbers, positions of existing structures, section or lot
numbers and their respective areas, adjoining and adjacent street names, selected boundary
dimensions and references to prior maps.

Cadaster is an official public record usually maintained to register location, ownership, value and
attributes of land in a given jurisdiction, state or country, a properly organized and regularly
maintained land registration/cadastral system provide security and clarity with respect to the
legal status of land. This eventually leads to the improvement of property, which at the same
time contributes to the growth and economic development of the city concerned. Moreover, well-
functioning Cadaster/land information system is useful for effective management of land as well
as setting appropriate land related policies, coordination efforts of different agencies, generally
for better urban management and development.

Cadaster is a scientific term for a set of records showing the extent, value and ownership of land.
Particularly, a cadaster is a record of areas and values of land and of landholders that initially
was accumulated for purposes of taxation. The cadaster serves two other equally significant
purposes. Cadaster offers a ready means of accurate description and recognition of specific
pieces of land and it performs as a continuous record of rights in land. A cadastral map is a map
which provides detailed information about real property and the owner within a specific area.

Cadaster is normally a parcel based, and up-to-date land information system containing a record
of interests in land (e.g. rights, restrictions and responsibilities). It usually includes a geometric
description of land parcels linked to other records describing the nature of the interests, the
ownership or control of those interests, and often the value of the parcel and its improvements. It
may be established for fiscal purposes (e.g. valuation and equitable taxation), legal purposes
(conveyancing), to assist in the management of land and land use (e.g. for planning and other
administrative purposes), and enables sustainable development and environmental protection.

Originally, cadastral registration was often introduced to assist in land taxation. Today cadastral
registration also provides relevant information for land transactions and helps to improve the
efficiency of those transactions and security of tenure in land in general. It provides governments
at all levels with relevant information for taxation and regulation. Cadastral registration is
increasingly used by both private and public sectors in land envelopment, urban and rural
planning, land management and environmental monitoring and is no longer related to cadastral
surveying and mapping alone.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

 There is a lack of a comprehensive cadastral map for Oda Bultum University.

 There is a need to identify the current ownership information of the properties
associated with Oda Bultum University.
 There is a need to collect and prepare the socio-economic information of the area
surrounding the university.
 There is a need to accurately map the key features of Oda Bultum University campus,
including their locations.
1.3 RESEARCH QUESTION

1. What is the current ownership information of the properties associated with Oda

1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT
1.4.1 General objective of the research project

The general objective of the research project is to prepare and to provide cadastral map including
its socio-economic data of Oda Bultum University using surveying and architecture software’s
such as ArcGIS, Google earth, and Microsoft excel software.

1.4.2 Specific objective of the research project

 To identify the current ownership information,

 To collect and prepare full socio-economic information,
 To prepare cadastral map by using Total Station
 To provide full information of the features of the campus
 To identify the true location of the valuable features of the campus

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT

The cadastral maps are used for different activities and the cadastral map of the University can
be useful for the users such as students, officials and other visitors of the campus by providing
visual cadastral map of the campus with full information of the features and features data sets or
feature analysis. The cadastral map of the campus helps them to know the location of individual
features like buildings, and other features.

1.6 SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT

The scope of this research project is Oda Bultum University which is located in Chiro city
between a latitude of 40°86’88”E and longitude of 9°07’01” N with an elevation of 1883.150. It
is located at 325 km southeast of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. Oda Bultum
University is a newly established Ethiopian public university located in Ethiopia. The Oda
Bultum University (OBU) is one of the public higher learning institutions established in
November 2015 G.C and it is showing more improvements at short period of time. The cadastral
map of the campus shall show the man-made features of the campus such as buildings and other
required features.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT

In any Surveying Engineering project accuracy and perfectibility is really needed, an accurate
and precise useful instruments and information’s and data’s should be used so the output could
be more perfectible and accurate, But as our campus, we saw many problems and weaknesses
due to lack of adequate instrument and technology. For example, we needed equipment like
differential GPS, Satellite image, RTK, however there is only total station as per our campus so
we only used that. Using that, we encountered many errors in our data

1.8 ORGANIZATION OF THE PAPER

CHAPTER TWO
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 CADASTRAL

Cadastral refers to the system of surveying, mapping, and recording the boundaries of land
parcels, along with associated details such as ownership, values, and rights. This system is
essential for property management, land use planning, taxation, and legal purposes. Cadastral
maps and records help define the legal description of land and are used by governments, real
estate professionals, and landowners to understand property boundaries and ownership rights.
The term is often associated with activities related to land management, real estate, and public
administration.
 2.1.1 Historical Development of Cadaster

Some of the earliest cadasters were ordered by Roman Emperors to recover state owned lands
that had been appropriated by private individuals, and thereby recover income from such
holdings. One such cadaster was done in 77 AD in Campania, a surviving stone marker of the
survey reads "The Emperor Vespasian, in the eighth year of his tribunician power, so as to
restore the state lands which the Emperor Augustus had given to the soldiers of Legion II
Gallica, but which for some years had been occupied by private individuals, ordered a survey
map to be set up with a record on each 'century' of the annual rental". In this way Vespasian was
able to re-impose taxation formerly uncollected on these lands.

With the fall of Rome the use of cadastral maps effectively discontinued. Medieval practice used
written descriptions of the extent of land rather than using more precise surveys. Only in the
sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries did the use of cadastral maps resume, beginning in the
Netherlands. With the emergence of capitalism in Renaissance Europe the need for cadastral
maps reemerged as a tool to determine and express control of land as a means of production.
This took place first privately in land disputes and later spread to governmental practice as a
means of more precise tax assessment.

The Public Lands Survey System is a cadastral survey of the United States originating in
legislation from 1785, after international recognition of the United States. The dominion Land
Survey is a similar cadastral survey conducted in Western Canada begun in 1871 after the
creation of the dominion of Canada in 1867.

2.1.2 Cadastral Survey

Cadastral surveying is the sub-field of cadastre and surveying that specialises in the
establishment and re-establishment of real property boundaries. It involves the physical
delineation of property boundaries and determination of dimensions, areas and certain rights
associated with properties. This is regardless of whether they are on land, water or defined by
natural or artificial features. It is an important component of the legal creation of properties. A
cadastral surveyor must apply both the spatial-measurement principles of general surveying and
legal principles such as respect of neighboring titles.
 2.1.3 Cadastral Map

A Cadastral map is a map that shows the boundaries and ownership of land parcels. Some
cadastral maps show additional details, such as survey district names, unique identifying
numbers for parcels, certificate of title numbers, positions of existing structures, section or lot
numbers and their respective areas, adjoining and adjacent street names, selected boundary
dimensions and references to prior maps.

These maps are essential for various stakeholders, including land surveyors, real estate
professionals, government agencies, and landowners, as they help to clarify property rights,
resolve disputes, and manage land use effectively. Cadastral information is often maintained in
public land records by local or regional governments.

2.1.4 The Benefits of Cadastral Map

Cadaster could be a specialized term for a set of records appearing the degree, esteem, and
proprietorship (or another premise for utilize or occupancy) of land. Entirely talking, a cadaster
may be a record of ranges and values of arrive and of landholders that initially was compiled for
purposes of taxation.

The cadastral outline has four primary purposes:

1. Provides a cartographic record of official and now and then private land studies and
Subdivisions.
2. Facilitates the organization and exchange of arrive ownership.
3. Records arrive ownership.
4. Assists within the valuation and tax collection of land.

2.2 PARCEL

A parcel refers to a specific piece of land that is defined by its boundaries and is recognized for
various purposes, including ownership, taxation, and land use.
 2.2.1 Parcel Map

Parcel maps are detailed representations of individual parcels of land. They show boundaries,
dimensions, and relevant features of specific land parcels.

2.2.2 The primary Purpose of Parcel Map

The primary purpose of a parcel map is to define and delineate property boundaries for
ownership and development purposes. They are commonly used in real estate transactions and
property development.

2.2.3 Components of Parcel Map

 Boundaries: Clearly defined lines marking the edges of each parcel.

 Dimensions: Measurements of each side of the parcel.
 Identification: Parcel numbers or identifiers that relate to local assessment records.
 Features: May include roads, buildings, easements, and other significant features within or
adjacent to the parcel.

2.3 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARCEL MAP AND CADASTRAL MAP

Parcel maps and cadastral maps are both important tools in land surveying and property
management, but they have distinct purposes and characteristics. Here’s a breakdown of their
differences:

Aspect Parcel Map Cadastral Map

Scope Individual parcels Multiple parcels over a larger

jurisdiction

purpose Property boundaries and Land ownership and administration

dimensions

Components Detailed parcel features, Broader land ownership information

dimensions, IDs

Usage Real estate, development, tax Land governance, planning,

 assessment administration

Both types of maps relate to land and property, parcel maps focus on individual parcels, while
cadastral maps provide a broader view of land ownership and administration within a defined
area.

3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA

3.1.1 Location

The research project is focused on Oda Bultum University, which is located in Chiro city. The
university is situated between a latitude of 40°86’88”E and a longitude of 9°07’01” N, with an
elevation of 1883.150. It is 325 km southeast of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. Oda
Bultum University is a newly established Ethiopian public university, founded in November
2015 G.C. The cadastral map produced by this project will show the man-made features of the
campus such as buildings and other relevant features.

3.2 FIELD WORK

Fieldwork is a critical phase in the data collection process for cadastral mapping using a total
station. It involves taking measurements on-site to establish property boundaries, identify
features, and collect geographic data related to land ownership. Here's a detailed overview of the
fieldwork process in cadastral surveying with a total station.

3.2.1 Materials that will be used in Field work

There are different surveying instrument which are used in field work for the purpose of
collecting data’s information’s and coordinates from the field location like Total station, Prism,
Meter, Mobile Phone, Field note book the materials that we will use at the field work are the
following:

1. Meter

Meter is one of the instruments of surveying engineering which used to measure the length,
height and vertical, horizontal distance of the features manually. We used it to measure total
station length.
 Figure 3.2 Meter Instrument

2. Total Station

A Total station is much more updated machine. Total station is an electronic/optical instrument
used for surveying. From this instrument various types of work are done like angle measurement,
Distance measurement, Coordinate measurement, Data processing, mining surveying,
Mechanical and electrical construction. Different parts of total station are shown below:

Figure 3.3 Total station Instrument

3. Prism

This is very important part of total station because without this prism total station like a dead
machine. Prism mainly reflect the light of total station, from this reflecting light total station
measure the distance, coordinate, angle and elevation.
 Figure 3.4 Prism

4. Field Note Book

Field note book is a tool which is used for noting the required information of the site in case
something unexpected damage happens to the information’s which are in digital format.

Figure 3. 5 Field note book

5. Questionnaire Papers

Questionnaire papers are one of the research tools which used for collecting information’s from
the peoples around the site by filling the space or by choosing the given alternatives. Is one of
the research data collection tool which used to collect data related with the information’s of the
campus, the officials of the campus, students of the campus, and other related information’s of
the campus.

6. Mobile Phone

Mobile phone or cellular Radio Telephone also called cellular telephone or cell phone, low-
powered, lightweight radio transceiver (combination transmitter-receiver) that provides voice
telephone, camera and other services to mobile users. Cellular telephones primarily operate like
portable or cordless telephones. A new generation of services for cell phones includes
videoconferencing and Internet access with the ability to send e-mail.

A mobile phone is a personal communication device used to make and receive calls, send and
receive messages, access the internet and perform other tasks via a wireless connection. It has
also helped us a lot in our work. Which we used Mobile Topographer software to collect data as
a hand GPS.
 Figure 3.6 Mobile phone

The mobile phone is going to be useful for recording pictures and videos of the area, and for
interviewing the officials of the campus by voice recorder in the collection of data using the
research data collection tool called interviewing.

3.2.2 Procedures that will be used in Field work

The procedures that we will follow in the field area will be easy and it is not going to take much
time since we will use more of our time in office work, beside this the step in field work will
start from reconnaissance by visiting the area. The detail procedures that we will follow are
described below;

3.2.2.1 Reconnaissance survey

The reconnaissance survey is the key to any project and the most important in the series of
survey. In a simple meaning reconnaissance means the first inspection of the given area
depending on existing control points and is the primary or first inspection of the target area to be
surveyed to collect preliminary information for planning and executing the survey work in the
best possible manner.
 3.2.2.2 Data Collection

Data collection is the major part of this report. In this project all data are collected to use total
station. So, all of this data is primary data.

The primary data collection is a method of collection data were the data has never been collected
before, Primary data is a type of data which never existed before; hence it was not previously
published. The primary data of the site will be collected by using total station, meter, Mobile
phone and by interviewing the officials of the campus.

3.2.2.2.1 Methods and Procedures of Data Collections

Here gives the flow chart of surveying procedure (Administrative Building).

3.3 OFFICE WORK

After we finish the fieldwork, the work in the office is much more time consuming and difficult
than the fieldwork. it is done in the office using all the necessary software to update or edit data.
Therefore, most of the cadastral maps of Oda Bultum University are done in the office. These
softawe will be described below:

1. Computer

A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical
operations automatically. The ability of computers to follow a sequence of operations, A
computer is an electronic device that processes data according to a set of instructions known as a
program. It is designed to perform a wide range of tasks, such as calculations, data manipulation,
and various forms of communication. which is very capable and fast enough and has helped us a
lot in our work. This helps us for many tasks which is to edit data, create maps using ArcGIS and
so on.

Figure 3.7 Personal Computer

2. Google Earth Software

Is one of the surveying soft wares which is used for locating, gathering, visualizing, and
understanding the required area.
 Figure 3.8 Google earth software

3. TCX Converter Software

After completing the survey, the data set was saved as SDR file. Partial part of the

SDR file is given below:

 Figure 3.9 Part of SDR data file

This is the part of SDR file but in the working purpose this file cannot read in the ArcGIS. For
this reason, this file converted to excel file which is useable for ArcGIS. So we must convert the
data to excel using TCX converter software.

TCX converter software is an offline software which is used for converting KML, KMZ, TCX
and other files to CSV and other file types.

Figure 3.10 TCX converter software

4. Microsoft Excel Software

Microsoft excel software is a Microsoft software which is used for creating the site information
in a properly method. So After collecting data on the field by using total station write data to
computer into excel sheet. It is in this form.
 Figure 3.11 Microsoft excel software

5. ArcGIS 10.8.1 Software

ArcGIS is geospatial software for viewing, editing, managing, and geographic data. ArcGIS is
created by Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute) and is used for mapping on desktop,
mobile, and the web. The technology of GIS has developed so fast over the past one decade that
it is now accepted as an essential tool for the effective use of geographic information.it is used to
in our project:

 Importing the collected data which is in csv format

 Editing data in arc Map environment,
 Analyzing data by using tool in Arc map,
 Crating data base and line, polygon geometry type shape file in arc catalog software,
 Finally map is generate in computer

ii. insert dialog box
iii. select north arrow
iv. Ok
Add the lay out grid

By default, a layout is covered by a grid of dots, to which components are automatically snapped
when you add them to the lay out or more them around. The grid helps you line things up
accurately on through layout. To insert grid, we follow the following procedure.
 v. From table of content in layer right click
vi. Properties new grid select suitable grid
vii. apply
viii. Ok.
Adding text and other graphics to layout

You can use drawing tools to add graphics such as neat lines, boxes, circles, and arrows
anywhere on you lay out. The drawing tools are in a drop-down palette that you access by
clicking on the point tool. You can use text tool to add text for titles and other descriptive text.

After all this process will be done the final map will be prepared.

4. RESULT
4.1 RESULT

After collecting all necessary data in field then office work processed and prepare the result. The
result of this project is cadastral map for Oda Bultum University and also contains Status of land
parcel in term of Cadastral map and parcel map in term of study area.

4.1.1 Cadastral Map

A cadastral map shows the boundaries and ownership of land parcels. These maps may also
include details like survey district names, unique parcel identifiers, and the locations of existing
structures.

4.1.2 Parcel Map

A parcel map provides a detailed view of individual land parcels, showing their boundaries,
dimensions, and other relevant features. These maps are used to define property boundaries for
ownership and development purposes.

CHAPTER FIVE
5. CONCLUSION
5.1 CONCLUSION

The project aimed to create a cadastral map of Oda Bultum University, including socio-economic
data, using software like ArcGIS, Google Earth, and Microsoft Excel. The project identified the
current ownership, collected socio-economic data, mapped the campus using a Total Station, and
pinpointed valuable features. The cadastral map is intended to be a resource for students, staff,
and visitors, showing the locations of buildings and other features. The scope of the project was
limited to the Oda Bultum University campus, located in Chiro City, Ethiopia, with specific
latitude, longitude and elevation.

Key findings and outcomes:

  A cadastral map was created: This map shows the boundaries and ownership of land
parcels within Oda Bultum University.

 A parcel map was also produced: This provides more detail about individual land
parcels within the university.

 Identified campus features: The project mapped buildings and other key features on the
campus.

 Socio-economic data collected: The project also included the collection of socio-
economic information about the area surrounding the university.

Methodology:

 Fieldwork: Included using instruments like a Total Station, prism, meter, notebook,
questionnaire papers, and mobile phones.

 Data collection: Used reconnaissance surveys, total station measurements, interviews,

and mobile data collection.

 Office work: Involved processing data using computers, Google Earth, TCX Converter,
Microsoft Excel, and ArcGIS.

Limitations:

 The project was limited by the lack of advanced equipment like differential GPS and
satellite imagery, relying solely on a total station.

This project was undertaken by surveying engineering students to address the lack of a
comprehensive cadastral map for Oda Bultum University. The resulting maps and data are
intended to provide essential information about the university's land, ownership, and features.
