Summary
In the specialisation in Geo-Information Management for Land Administrations, you will learn to develop responsible land administration systems that document and map people-to-land relationships. Without such systems, authorities and communities don’t know who owns what, residents don’t have security of tenure and can lose their land or get evicted at any time. All countries need an efficient land administration system in place: this is a core function of each country. In this specialisation you will learn to manage land rights, restrictions, and responsibilities using (3D) cadastral data, UAV data processing, and geo-information modelling.
