DESIGN SPATIAL AND NON-SPATIAL DATA MODELLING BASED ON THE LADM STRUCTURE FOR LAND REGISTRY AND CADASTRAL SYSTEM IN TURKEY

Abstract

In land administration, spatial data manegement plays the important role of defining physical characteristics of land parcels in an accurate and discernible manner. A complementary part of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is an effective information infrastructure that serves as the backbone of the land administration system. The paper provides a framework that supports adoption of spatial data modelling based on Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) for Turkish Land Administration System (TLAS). For this purpose, a spatial and non-spatial data model based on LADM is designed concerning the single space units subject to condominium in Turkey. The proposed data model is more comprehensive, capable of organising a wider range of spatial data, and should facilitate wider exchange of land information. The model is unique because it can support a very wide range of spatial units. Furthermore, the model was developed to help establish a national spatial data infrastructure LADM-based. To conclude, the developed model is a standardised model that could be used for local and international exchange of spatial and non-spatial data concerning land administration matters.
