“…52 Despite the experience gained in aerial mapping during World War I, air surveys were considered inadequate for the cadastral survey because they were insufficiently exact for a 1:2,500 scale, because they would be more expensive, and because field surveys were required for naming and verification. 53 The basic topocadastral survey began in 1928 and ended in November 1933. However, in southern Palestine only the southern coastal plain areas were surveyed and mapped.…”

“…There are, of course, caveats made, including the need for ready access to airplanes, good weather (perhaps humorlessly, the British Isles are mentioned as not being ideal), and the need for touch-up work with the support of a draftsperson. Perhaps predictably, and as was to be the norm in decades to come, these articles elicited conjecture around the accuracy and reliability of the figures relating to cost and time [40]. That said, the notion of using aerial photogrammetric methods in creating large-scale wide-area topographic, and even cadastral, maps was now firmly on the agenda [41].…”

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.
