What rural land information system

A Land Information System is a tool for legal, administrative and economic decision-making and an aid for
planning and development which consists on the one hand of a database containing spatially referenced land-related
data for a defined area, and on the other hand, of procedures and techniques for the systematic collection, updating,
processing and distribution of the data. The base of a land information system is a uniform spatial referencing
system for the data in the system, which also facilitates the linking of data within the system with other
land related data.1

NRLAIS is the main information and management system in Ethiopia's rural land administration sector and it is
used at different administrative levels (federal, regional, zonal, and woreda.2

1, Cadastre
Meaning, purpose type, and the authority?

Meaning

Cadastre is just a system of writing or recording individual land parcels It records only a topographic information
about a parcel (unit) of land. A parcel is a unit of land with homogenous tenure interests, having a unique
owner/tenant, land class and use, and bounded by wall, fence, bond or boundary markers. Land has physical, fiscal
and legal aspect.3

It records up-to-date information about the land itself Location, size, boundaries, fertility level, type of land use, It
uses a large scale cadastral maps which represent the graphical indices of the individual parcels showing the
relative location of all parcels in a given region, and by written or textual records which represent the attribute files
of the cadastre, in parallel. It is called a parcel-based information system and answers questions of where and How
much about a certain plot of land.

Purpose
Cadastre is used to produce statistical data. Statistical data is important to decide for long-term strategic planning
and short-term operational management. It also helps create political stability

Type
1, Based on the primary function for which they are established.
cadastres formed for taxation, for supporting real estate transaction, and others for land distribution

2. Based on location and jurisdiction. separate cadastral institutions for urban and rural areas or a unified cadastre
Centralized or Decentralized

3, based on the method of collecting land information. through ground surveys tied to geodetic control, also called
conventional system, or through uncoordinated ground surveys and measurements also called non-conventional
system, or through photography, or by digitizing existing historical records, a good cadastre should develop a well-
functioning financial regime. While the cost of initially establishing the cadastre is usually fully borne by the
government investment, aerial its subsequent maintenance should be based on cost recovery system, or even could
be designed to generate additional revenue for the government.
