Possibilities of Land Administration Domain Model (Ladm) Implementation in Nigeria

Abstract

ABSTRACT:LADM covers essential information associated components of land administration and management including those over water and elements above and below the surface of the earth. LADM standard provides an abstract conceptual model with three packages and one sub-package. LADM defined terminology for a land administration system that allows a shared explanation of different formal customary or informal tenures. The standard provides the basis for national and regional profiles and enables the combination of land management information from different sources in a coherent manner. Given this, this paper started with the description of land and land administration in Nigeria. The pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial era with organization structure was discussed. This discussion is important to present an understanding of the background of any improvement needed for the LADM implementation in Nigeria. The LADM, ISO 19152 and the packages of LADM was discussed, and the comparison of the different aspects of each package and classes were made with Nigerian land administration and the cadastral system. In the comparison made, it was discovered that the concept is similar to LADM packages in Nigerian land administration. Although, the terminology may not be the same in all cases. Having studied conceptualization and the application of LADM, as a model that has essential information associated with components of the land administration. Including those on the land, over water as well as elements above and below the surface of the earth and discovered that the standard is suitable for the country. The model can, therefore, be adopted into Nigerian land administration system by mapping in some of the concepts of LADM.

Developing 4d Malaysian Marine Cadastre Data Model Based on Ladm - Preliminary Works

“…Thus, the paper presents a novel and challenging approach to geographic data modelling, which may affect data analysis and decision-making in geographic information-using domains but again no specific consideration for marine Georegulation and temporal integration for a holistic data model. The published work of Babalola et al, (2015), on Land Administration Domain Model was a pioneers review focusing on LADM standards for land management, agreed that time should be added to 3D to manage land use complexity, concludes that the design and development process for ISO 19152:2012, temporal schema should be used to achieve research's goal, sadly the work gave no considerations to marine environment on the proposed time integration or addition.…”

Land Administration Maintenance: A Review of the Persistent Problem and Emerging Fit-for-Purpose Solutions

“…The model was developed, in part, with the problems of data updating and system upgrading as core drivers [64]. The model found application and profile development (or comparison against existing systems) in many contexts [65][66][67][68]. Accompanying LADM was the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM), intended as a more generalized version of LADM, sympathetic to the needs of contexts with customary, communal, and other non-Western land tenure types [69].…”

Theories of Land Reform and Their Impact on Land Reform Success in Southern Africa

“…Customary laws were used in the communities and statutory laws were enacted to allow land transaction between the indigenes and non-indigenes (along the lines of hybrid adaptation theory) [100][101][102]. The only formal title was freehold which created more avenues for land to be acquired by the European traders [103]. At independence in 1960, two scenarios resulted: in the southern regions, customary law prevailed and chiefs administered the land, while in northern regions, a Land Tenure Law of 1962 was enacted [101].…”
