“…Moreover, high-resolution satellite imagery covered the majority of the Earth's surface. This motivated the concepts of crowdsourced cadastres, participatory land administration, pro-poor land recordation [283], and more broadly, fit for purpose land administration (FFPLA) [284], all of which, learning from the lessons of development projects in the previous decades, and ongoing ones in the early 2000s, such as Cambodia [285], heavily advocated for the use of remotely sensed imagery, in all forms, to support data capture, and as Bennett et al [5] explain, were ultimately endorsed in the Framework for Effective Land Administration (FELA) of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management. As always, this was understood to include ground visits, for sensitisation, demarcation, or validation, especially in the initial registration projects [286]: imagery alone was not enough [287].…”

Review of Remote Sensing for Land Administration: Origins, Debates, and Selected Cases

Conventionally, land administration—incorporating cadastres and land registration—uses ground-based survey methods. This approach can be traced over millennia. The application of photogrammetry and remote sensing is understood to be far more contemporary, only commencing deeper into the 20th century. This paper seeks to counter this view, contending that these methods are far from recent additions to land administration: successful application dates back much earlier, often complementing ground-based methods. Using now more accessible historical works, made available through archive digitisation, this paper presents an enriched and more complete synthesis of the developments of photogrammetric methods and remote sensing applied to the domain of land administration. Developments from early phototopography and aerial surveys, through to analytical photogrammetric methods, the emergence of satellite remote sensing, digital cameras, and latterly lidar surveys, UAVs, and feature extraction are covered. The synthesis illustrates how debates over the benefits of the technique are hardly new. Neither are well-meaning, although oft-flawed, comparative analyses on criteria relating to time, cost, coverage, and quality. Apart from providing this more holistic view and a timely reminder of previous work, this paper brings contemporary practical value in further demonstrating to land administration practitioners that remote sensing for data capture, and subsequent map production, are an entirely legitimate, if not essential, part of the domain. Contemporary arguments that the tools and approaches do not bring adequate accuracy for land administration purposes are easily countered by the weight of evidence. Indeed, these arguments may be considered to undermine the pragmatism inherent to the surveying discipline, traditionally an essential characteristic of the profession. That said, it is left to land administration practitioners to determine the relevance of these methods for any specific country context.

“…In these countries, cadastral mapping is often based on partly outdated maps or satellite images of low-resolution, which might include areas covered by clouds. Numerous studies have investigated cadastral mapping based on orthoimages derived from satellite imagery [22,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37] or aerial photography [38]. The definition of boundary lines is often conducted in a collaborative process among members of the communities, governments and aid organizations, which is referred to as "Community Mapping" [39], "Participatory Mapping" [22] or "Participatory GIS" [31].…”

Review of Automatic Feature Extraction from High-Resolution Optical Sensor Data for UAV-Based Cadastral Mapping

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a rapid, low-cost and flexible acquisition system that appears feasible for application in cadastral mapping: high-resolution imagery, acquired using UAVs, enables a new approach for defining property boundaries. However, UAV-derived data are arguably not exploited to its full potential: based on UAV data, cadastral boundaries are visually detected and manually digitized. A workflow that automatically extracts boundary features from UAV data could increase the pace of current mapping procedures. This review introduces a workflow considered applicable for automated boundary delineation from UAV data. This is done by reviewing approaches for feature extraction from various application fields and synthesizing these into a hypothetical generalized cadastral workflow. The workflow consists of preprocessing, image segmentation, line extraction, contour generation and postprocessing. The review lists example methods per workflow step-including a description, trialed implementation, and a list of case studies applying individual methods. Furthermore, accuracy assessment methods are outlined. Advantages and drawbacks of each approach are discussed in terms of their applicability on UAV data. This review can serve as a basis for future work on the implementation of most suitable methods in a UAV-based cadastral mapping workflow.

“…Facing resettlement issues, Cambodian government officials will usually deduct the resettlement compensation provided by the company and do not offer detailed compensation or relocation information to the public. For example, M.-P. Törhönen (2001) has observed that the diversion of public funds away from their intended use, servicing the people, erodes the fundamental mission of national reconstruction and development in Cambodia. As a result, there are many cases of relocated residents not receiving their fair portion of the compensation.…”

One of the important means of promoting connectivity and cooperation between China and Cambodia is Chinese enterprises' investment in Cambodian infrastructure construction. The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China brings both opportunities and challenges for Cambodia's economic development. Through an analysis of detailed case studies, in this article we review the background on Chinese infrastructure investment in Cambodia and identify factors in the approach to investment by Chinese enterprises in the Cambodian context that appear to underlie these challenges and suggest opportunities for improvements.
