Cadastral Mapping Solutions for Land Administration Management

Realizing Public Land Records that underpin a Successful Economy


A cadastral map is a map defining land ownership, showing the geometries of individual land parcels with their ownership information. All this data is contained in a modern authoritative land administration system, often maintained and updated by a national agency such as a cadaster. Generating a current national cadastral map is often a challenging and complicated task, requiring a lot of organizational, cartographic and technological skills, often in combination with modernization processes that are being implemented in many countries worldwide.

The challenges in creating, managing and updating a modern land information system

Managing land information systems has changed dramatically in the last decades, not in the least because of the digitization processes inside national and regional government agencies. This transformation process in itself has led to the question of how a modern land information system should look and how they should be used. It is no surprise that a current land information system has to meet high quality standards, as it underpins a successful economy. Not in the least because of the value that property represents, that is monetized through property taxes.

However, countries worldwide face many more challenges in establishing a modern land information system: for example, a cadastral map is a cartographic product that needs to meet cartographic standards, regarding the accuracy and meet national standards that prescribe how the data is collected in the field, processed and presented in the end product. Added to this cartographic and organizational challenge is the fact that some countries are still in the process of establishing a modern land system, or lacking the funds to build the land record from scratch, while others have to rely on paper maps that were created using ancient methods of data collection and cartographic representation. It is also possible that countries are in the middle of a transformation process in becoming a multipurpose cadaster, for example through establishing a 3D cadastral system from a 2D land record system, or implementing new standards to be able to support future applications.

Meeting the cadastral mapping needs of your organization

Whatever challenges your organization is facing for producing an accurate, current and geometrically correct parcel map, Magnasoft relies on 20+ years of experience in this domain. We help you solve the challenges that come with data collection in the field, perform data validation after processing it by using orthorectified imagery, and create a system of records containing authoritative land information data that supports decision making and forms the basis for a successful economy. Although mapping and surveying standards differ from country to country, Magnasoft quickly adapts to your specific, local needs and offers a customized approach to meet your cadastral mapping needs.

Because we understand that not cadastral surveying and mapping needs are equal, we offer custom solutions to the problem at hand. This goes for all aspects of cadastral mapping production, including data collection, processing and cartographic production processes. Wherever possible, we will provide additional data sources to guarantee the regional or national standards that apply to your parcel map. Additionally, we can manage, process and update the parcel data for you if necessary through hosted data services in the cloud.
