DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTIPURPOSE CADASTRE FOR UDOKA HOUSING ESTATE, AWKA, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

In this study, a multipurpose cadastre was developed and implemented for Udoka Housing Estate, Awka. While the spatial and geometric data were acquired by land surveying techniques using a second order Wild T2 theodolite and standardised steel tape, the attribute data were obtained by groundtruthing. The layout plan was produced with AUTOCAD 2007 software using the adjusted coordinates of the beacons.

This hardcopy layout plan was converted to digital layout plan through scanning, georeferencing and digitising. Arc GIS 9.2 software was used to perform GIS operations of storing, processing, manipulating, analysing and displaying of desired information. Multipurpose cadastral information layers were created for roads, parcels, beacons, residential buildings and perimeter lines. Queries were created to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed multipurpose cadastre. These queries among others are query for roads that are not bad, query for developed and undeveloped parcels, query for parcels with duplexes ad bungalows, query for parcels that are used for residential and nonresidential purposes, query for parcels whose owners are from Anambra State and query for parcels whose owners are females. The results of the various queries and analyses show that a multipurpose cadastre is a veritable tool for decision making in land related matters.

CHAPTER 1

1.10 INTRODUCTION

Land is a basic resource for wealth creation, and on it activities of man take place. Efficient information on land is a good foundation for wealth creation and national development. Because of the vital role it plays in human affairs visvis the source of most wealth, land should be properly managed. To effectively manage land and its resources, comprehensive information about land should be recorded in an organised and robust manner to enable quick and flexible access to land related information. Land information is a prime requisite for making decisions related to land investments, development and management Kaufmann and Steudler, 1998.

1.11 MEANING OF A MULTIPURPOSE CADASTRE

The term multipurpose cadastre is a computerbased system that is designed to record, store and provide not only land tenure and land valuation information, but also a wide variety of information that can be functionally related to, and referenced by property parcel Abdul et al, 1999. The panel on Multipurpose Cadastre, 1983 defined it as a framework that supports continuous, readily available, and comprehensive land related information at parcel level. A multipurpose cadastre can be considered as a system that is used for many purposes to serve the many uses such as land conveyance and subdivision of a society Majid, 2000.

1.12 IMPORTANCE OF MULTIPURPOSE CADASTRE

The panel on Multipurpose Cadastre Committee on Geodesy, 1983 states that there is a critical need for a better land information system to improve land conveyance procedures, furnish a basis for equitable taxation, and provide much needed information for resource management and environmental planning. ...Get Complete Material.
