Land Intelligence and Geospatial Ecosystem

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of how advanced intelligent geospatial technologies are transforming the way we record, register, manage, and use land. It explains the basics of intelligent land administration systems, explores new innovative technologies for capturing, validating, storing, querying, and analysing aboveground and underground land ownership, and discusses how geospatial innovations impact urban planning, sustainability, and legal frameworks. Readers will gain insight into how incorporating new intelligence into land administration and geospatial ecosystems can shape our cities, improve infrastructure management, and address location-based challenges in a rapidly changing world. Features Provides new content on digital, integrated, and intelligent solutions for delivering on-demand knowledge about land and geospatial information and examines the value of this information for sustainability and resilience. Includes several case studies, prototype systems, and models that demonstrate the feasibility of intelligent land administration system design and development. Explains the foundational role of intelligent land administration systems in improving geospatially enabled decision making for design, planning, construction, and management of complex urban environments. Describes the complexity of land and geospatial information in aboveground and underground environments and how digitally intelligent solutions can help address land and geospatial data management and communication challenges. Includes new material on digital environments that provides a fully integrated view interlinking the legal ownership of land parcels and physical reality of complex environments, including buildings and urban infrastructure. This is an excellent book for professionals, academics, researchers, and students in land administration, geospatial information systems, geomatics and surveying, remote sensing and urban planning, sustainability science, disaster management, architecture, infrastructure engineering, and digital construction.
