LADM-Based Model for Natural Resource Administration in China

Abstract

China’s rapid urbanization and industrialization have continually placed massive pressure on the country’s natural resources. The fragmented departmental administration of natural resources also intensifies the problem of sustainable use. Accordingly, China’s central government has launched natural resource administration reform from decentralization to unification. This study systematically analyzes the reform requirements from legal, organizational, and technical aspects. The right structure of China’s natural resource assets for fulfilling such requirements is examined in this work through a review of relevant legal text, and such a right structure is converted into a draft national technical standard of China’s natural resource administration on the basis of the land administration domain model (LADM). Results show that China’s natural resource administration covers lands, buildings, structures, forests, grasslands, waters, beaches, sea areas, minerals, and other fields. The types of private rights over natural resources include ownerships, land-contracted management rights (cultivated land, forest land, grassland, and water area), rights to use construction land (state-owned and collective-owned), rights to use agricultural land, rights to use homestead land, breeding rights on water areas and beaches, rights to use sea areas, rights to use uninhabited islands, and mining rights. The types of public rights over natural resources include comprehensive land use, urban and rural, sea use, and territory space planning. Furthermore, various types of these property rights can be converted into corresponding classes in LADM on the basis of the analysis of the property subject, object, and rights.

Croatian LADM Profile Extension for State-Owned Agricultural Land Management

“…Nevertheless, that research does not cover the specifics of state-owned agricultural land disposition as is common in Europe. Another research studies LADM-based profile for natural resources management in China [32]. The result of this research is converted property right structure into a domain model.…”

Applications of GIScience for Land Administration

“…Xu et al [18] show, how land administration administration in China can be modeled using the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) [19]. The paper contributes to a national standard for land administration under the Chinese national conditions and in accordance with the international standard.…”

Technical aspects and consequences of establishing the shoreline in Poland

“…A particular case of the property boundary is the boundary of natural watercourses, referred to as the shoreline, which, due to the forces of nature, exhibits temporal and spatial variability, especially in the case of unregulated watercourses. This issue has been the subject of research in the literature both in Poland and worldwide (Kucharzak and Kowalski, 2009;Donaldson, 2011;Kowalski, 2011;Dragićević et al, 2013;Hanus et al, 2014;García-Rubio et al, 2015;Geleynse et al, 2015;Thompson, 2015;Mika et al, 2016;Mączyńska and Kwartnik-Pruc, 2016;Hanus and Pęska, 2016;Dragićević et al, 2017;Pietrzak, 2017;Felcenloben, 2017;Siejka et al, 2018;Wassie et al, 2018;Alden Wily et al, 2017;Felcenloben, 2018;Mika et al, 2018;Srebro, 2018;Bazan-Krzywoszańska et al, 2019;Ghosh and Sahu, 2019;Jasińska, 2019;Selamat et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2019;Raj et al, 2019;Alberdi and Erba, 2020;Bitner et al, 2020;Pęska-Siwik, 2020;Cienciała et al, 2021;Kwartnik-Pruc et al, 2022;Kwartnik-Pruc and Mączyńska, 2023;Singh et al, 2023;Wadowska et al, 2023).…”
