3D Cadastre visualization and dissemination: Most recent progresses and future directions

The 3D Cadastre has been investigated from many viewpoints (including legal, organizational and technical). However, to date little research has focused specifically on visualizationrelated aspects despite the value-added of the third dimension. The paper first proposes an overview of progress made in the last five years in 3D cadastral visualization. The authors then summarize discussions at the 2014 3D Cadastre workshop regarding future research and development on the topic. This synthesis is complemented by a broad review of the most recent advances in 3D visualization beyond the 3D cadastral domain, with the goal of providing a number of important directions for further work, allowing researchers, developers and users to consolidate their respective activities, and encouraging collaboration

3D Cadastres Best Practices, Chapter 5: Visualization and New Opportunities

This paper proposes a discussion on opportunities offered by 3D visualization to improve the understanding and the analysis of cadastre data. It first introduce the rationale of having 3D visualization functionalities in the context of cadastre applications. Second the publication outline some basic concepts in 3D visualization. This section specially addresses the visualization pipeline as a driven classification schema to understand the steps leading to 3D visualization. In this section is also presented a brief review of current 3D standards and technologies. Next is proposed a summary of progress made in the last years in 3D cadastral visualization. For instance, user’s requirement, data and semiotics, and platforms are highlighted as main actions performed in the development of 3D cadastre visualization. This review could be perceived as an attempt to structure and emphasise the best practices in the domain of 3D cadastre visualization and as an inventory of issues that still need to be tackled. Finally, by providing a review on advances and trends in 3D visualization, the paper initiates a discussion and a critical analysis on the benefit of applying these new developments to cadastre domain. This final section discusses about enhancing 3D techniques as dynamic transparency and cutaway, 3D generalization, 3D visibility model, 3D annotation, 3D data and web platform, augmented reality, immersive virtual environment, 3D gaming, interaction techniques and time

Analysis of the agricultural land use in Ukraine on the example of the united community

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

Informacije i raspon baza podataka koje se koriste za pomorsko prostorno planiranje i za integrirano upravljanje obalnim područjem - primjer slučaja u Poljskoj, Baltičko more

Intensive exploitation of coastal and maritime areas, together with climate changes, natural hazards and erosion, have increased pressure on coastal and maritime resources. They require integrated and consistent management in order to ensure sustainable development and to preserve coastal and marine ecosystems for future generations. Spatial development planning for maritime areas is commonly understood to denote an open process of analysis, planning and temporal distribution of components of human activity, which results in accomplishment of economic, social and environmental goals. Such actions require a wide range of information. The main objective of the study was to identify the range of data used in maritime spatial planning, integrated coastal zone management in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea and the possibility of acquiring such data. A high degree of generalisation prevents a lot of available data for MSP and ICZM from being used. An analysis of information resources (databases, registers, information systems) for the Polish Baltic zone and the coastal area has shown it to be dispersed and incomplete. However, considering the rapid development of the sector and the commitment of the stakeholders, one can predict that the new tools and projects will fill the gaps in this regard.Intenzivna eksploatacija obalnih i morskih područjima, zajedno s klimatskim promjenama, prirodnim nepogodama i erozijom, čine povećan pritisak na obalne i pomorske resurse. Ovi resursi zahtijevaju integrirano i konzistentno upravljanje kako bi se osigurao održivi razvoj, te omogućilo očuvanje obalnih i morskih ekosustava za buduće generacije. Planiranje prostornog razvoja pomorskih područja obično podrazumijeva otvoren proces analize, planiranja i vremenske raspodjele dijelova ljudskog djelovanja, što rezultira provođenjem ekonomskih, socijalnih i ekoloških ciljeva. Takvi postupci zahtijevaju širok raspon informacija. Glavni cilj našeg istraživanja bio je utvrditi raspon podataka koji se koriste u pomorskom prostornom planiranju, integriranom upravljanju obalnim područjem u poljskom dijelu Baltičkog mora, kao i mogućnost stjecanja takvih podataka. Visok stupanj generalizacije sprječava korištenje većine raspoloživih korisnih podataka za MSP i ICZM. Analiza informacijskih izvora (baze podataka, registri, informacijski sustavi) za poljski dio Baltičke zone i obalnog područja pokazala je da su podaci raspršeni i nepotpuni. Međutim, s obzirom na brzi razvoj sektora i predanost sudionika, može se predvidjeti da će novi alati i projekti doprinjeti rješavanju problema s podacima

Geodetic infrastructure of Serbia

Geodetic reference systems and their realization at the territory of Serbia have been created and maintained since the end of 19th century. Until mid-80s a series of reference geodetic networks were established: trigonometric networks in four orders, two levelling networks of high accuracybut also a series of gravimetric networks. In the following period of 20 years, there were not any organized worksaiming to maintenance of existing networks and creating new ones. In 1996, works started again on developing a new geodetic infrastructure in the form of realizing: a passive geodetic network, a network of permanent stations (AGROS – the active geodetic reference network of Serbia) as well as basic gravimetric networks. In this paperwork, a short review of works aiming to establish and use said networks is given but also a series of suggestions for a future development of geodetic infrastructure of Serbia

Scientific, Technological and Legal Background of Creating Integrated Biotic Databases

This monograph consists of ten original chapters which explore topics that are very important today, i.e. the design of GIS databases, the management of these databases and factors that determine the availability of spatial data. Increasingly, these issues, which are associated with abiotic databases, affect numerous emerging resources of data about animate nature. The monograph also contains information on legal matters concerning access to spatial information or issues related to the INSPIRE directive, which provides a basis for creating national laws concerning the infrastructure of spatial information. Much attention was also paid to examples of using research studies that generate great resources of spatial data, which are used to establish databases and make them available, for example, on web portals. This monograph presents several examples of how databases are created and how they function, including the Polish Biodiversity Information Network (PL: Krajowa Sieć Informacji o Bioróżnorodności) and Open-Access Bio- and Geodiversity Database for Silesia Province (PL: Ogólnodostępna Baza Danych Bio- i Georóżnorodności Województwa Śląskiego)

The bearer of those activities in Croatia is the Croatian Cartographic Society. The State Geodetic Administration recognized the value and importance of those activities and has been financially supporting the work on national report for several years.</p

Cartography in Croatia 2007–2011 National Report to the ICA 15th General Assembly, Paris, 2011

This article stems from setting student projects. It describes in detail the outcome of a project designed to ascertain the views of the public in relation to ancillary relief and what they consider to be a ‘fair’ outcome. The rationale for undertaking student projects has been discussed at length in another article and is therefore only alluded to here. The discussion centres around the law, findings and outcome of the project. Students studying the Family Law course at Sheffield University were required to survey members of the public in order to gather their views on the division of assets on divorce and then to analyse the public’s response in light of the seminal decision of the House of Lords in White v White [2000] UKHL 54; [2001] 1 AC 596
