Contemporary advancements in technology and the widespread availability of GIS (Geographic Information System) tools offer many possibilities in performing computer-assisted geospatial data analysis. For this type of analysis, the quality of the data is an extremely important factor. In the case of analysis related to parcel boundaries, the quality of the data is mainly determined by the mean errors of the location of the breakpoints of the boundary lines for particular parcels and the origin of the information about the boundary point coordinates.
This paper presents new opportunities for analyzing the boundary point position errors and their impact on the course of the boundary lines based on these points. The above-mentioned analysis of boundary errors was conducted in the area of the village of Chocznia. The results of the analysis are presented graphically and analytically to illustrate the distribution of these errors. Clear visualization of the distribution of the errors can be a valuable source of information. The information obtained in such a manner can be used in management processes and for planning agricultural land management work. A rapid assessment of parcel boundary data accuracy with GIS tools could also be used for the selection and classification of areas requiring cadastre modernization or for verification of the data contained within it.
The purpose of this research was to theoretically and empirically explore the success factors in cadastral parcel boundary settlements. Our focus was to study the role of landowners in boundary ...settlements and dispute management. The issue of landowners’ involvement is highly topical and complex, as the number of disputes stemming from indeterminate landowners’ roles in managing cadastral boundaries and indeterminate roles of the land surveyor as the mediator are considerable. These disputes can be a heavy burden for the country and society as a whole. Our basic research question was very widely set so that the model of success factors of boundary settlements following land cadastre data would go beyond the geodetic and legal framework and would also cover socio-psychological factors. In the literature, this topic is still not addressed, although there are several scientific questions related to it, the focus being on the integration of sociological and psychological factors into the field of spatial management. Based on the opinions of authorised land surveyors, we found for the case of Slovenia that the success of boundary settlement is, along with engineering and property aspects, also influenced by socio-psychological factors. The following factors were found to be essential: previously marked boundaries, preliminary analysis, clear explanation, surveyor’s expertise and communication skills, neighbourly relations between landowners, (psychological) attachment to land, and other personality traits of landowners. Generally, it was found that the surveying procedure and the land surveyor are the most important factors of success in boundary settlements, closely followed by the landowner, while the land data (cadastral data) is the least important factor. We also found that the land surveyor influences the landowner and how the factors related to the landowner will reflect upon the success of the boundary settlement; this confirmed that the land surveyor and the landowner are the most important factors of success in cadastral parcel boundary settlements.
•Parcel boundary settlement is one of the most challenging cadastral institutes.•Landowners’ agreements with the parcel boundary is influenced by various factors.•Besides land surveying aspects, socio-psychological factors has to be considered.•Grounded theory is used to define critical factors in boundary settlements procedure.•Attachment to land and personality traits are important reasons for boundary disputes.
In this paper we will describe the former boundaries of the cadastral municipalities in the Slovenian-Italian cross-border area between the Socerb castle and the Rosandra valley. Today, the villages ...of Socerb and Beka are located on the Slovenian side of the border, and Mačkolje (Caresana), Prebeneg (Prebenico), Dolina (San Dorlingo della Valle), Boljunec (Bagnoli della Rosandra), Kroglje (Crogole), Gornji Konec (Bagnoli Superiore) and Botač (Bottazzo) on the Italian side. At the time of the Franciscan cadastral survey in this area (from 1818 to 1822), i.e., at the time of the Austrian Empire, these villages, except for Mačkolje, belonged to the district of Fünfenberg, which was part of the province of Istria. Therefore, the same type of cadastral municipality boundary marks from the Franciscan or a revised cadastral survey can be found here as elsewhere in the present-day territory of Slovenia. In addition to the twelve boundary stones with inscriptions, we will also present two natural boundary marks: inscriptions carved on the entrance walls of a cave and inscriptions carved on the smooth rock wall. We will also show that the boundary stones in the Primorska region, which have the same shape as the former cadastral municipality boundary stones, could also have once marked former common lands of agrarian communities, here called jusi, and these were not always the same as the cadastral municipality boundaries.
The study represents a detailed spatial analysis regarding soil erosion in the Republic of Moldova. The territory of the country (including the Transnistrian region), from the point of view of the ...administrative-territorial structure, is made up of 983 units. Thus, the analysis of eroded lands was carried out on administrative units at the level of villages, communes and cities, according to the data of the 2021 year from the Land Cadastre, developed by the Agency for Land Relations and Cadastre of the Republic of Moldova. The created database was later imported into a GIS (Geographical Information Systems) program and processed using ArcGIS software. The mapping and classification of the data regarding the proportion of eroded agricultural land (total; strongly, moderately and weakly eroded) allowed the identification of the most vulnerable areas to these processes - the Central Moldavian Plateau (Codrilor), the Ciuluc Hills, the Dniester Plateau etc. The frequency rate of agricultural land in total per country was 73.7%, including arable land constituted 54.9%. Of the entire agricultural area, 73.2% was monitored from the point of view of soil and geomorphological processes: approximately 1/3 of all agricultural land is affected by some degree of erosion, including 4.5% that are heavily eroded. The specific factors of soil erosion and the main consequences are evaluated, with an emphasis on the most affected regions.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the use of agricultural land on the territory of united communities and their individual districts of Zhytomyr region as the smallest units of the ...administrative territorial division of Ukraine. The relevance of this study, due to current changes in national land relations, dictates the need to have information about agricultural lands, their owners, tenants and the lands status for planning agricultural production, the land-leases development, sale of land. The analysis of land use was carried out according to the following indicators: location of land plots of all owners within the community district and the whole community; their area; monetary evaluation; status of documents for each land plot, in particular the availability of lease, land cultivation presence. The initial data of the researches is the data of the state land cadastre database, and data of the real property rights register, both in general access and in need of special access. As a result of the research there were defined areas and location of lands of some landowners, who leased their lands and areas of lands not leased, also there were defined areas of lands, used illegally, without any documents on land use, defined areas of lands, used or owned by agricultural producers (farms, physical persons, legal entities). A cartographic core was created for the purpose of convenient planning of agricultural land use and land management within selected districts on the territory of the community.
New sources of geospatial data and information have recently become available in the form of user-generated web content. The integration of these sources, often termed Volunteered Geographic ...Information (VGI) or Crowdsourced Geographic Information (CGI), offer various options for geospatial applications: from monitoring natural disasters and their damages, analysing and monitoring of land cover to various cartographic and societal initiatives, to name just a few. Among other things, VGI brings new challenges in the field of National Spatial Data Infrastructure – NSDI. The paper aims to review the currents state of the art in the VGI research field focusing on the voluntary geographic information in national surveying and mapping agencies often competent for NSDI. As case studies, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland have been chosen. Furthermore, various initiatives for topographic and land-cadastre mapping in developing countries and potentials offered by VGI are presented.
In order to transcend the challenge of accelerating the establishment of cadastres and to efficiently maintain them once established, innovative, and automated cadastral mapping techniques are ...needed. The focus of the research is on the use of high-resolution optical sensors on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. More specifically, this study investigates the potential of UAV-based cadastral mapping, where the ENVI feature extraction (FX) module has been used for data processing. The paper describes the workflow, which encompasses image pre-processing, automatic extraction of visible boundaries on the UAV imagery, and data post-processing. It shows that this approach should be applied when the UAV orthoimage is resampled to a larger ground sample distance (GSD). In addition, the findings show that it is important to filter the extracted boundary maps to improve the results. The results of the accuracy assessment showed that almost 80% of the extracted visible boundaries were correct. Based on the automatic extraction method, the proposed workflow has the potential to accelerate and facilitate the creation of cadastral maps, especially for developing countries. In developed countries, the extracted visible boundaries might be used for the revision of existing cadastral maps. However, in both cases, the extracted visible boundaries must be validated by landowners and other beneficiaries.
