GPS & GIS in Land Information System
Abstract
Conventional Land Information system is presently getting outdated. State of the art technologies like GPS and GIS have given rise to revolutionary change in the conventional LIS system. The implementation of GPS and GIS in LIS has numerous advantages like speedy and accurate collection of data, more economical and easy to implement. Apart from this it has a societal impact on reducing the family feuds that arise because of land disputes. This paper describes the advantages of using GPS and GIS in LIS and caveats in implementing the same in Indian Scenario.
Introduction
The conventional Land Information System (LIS) in India essentially comprises the land records of each area, which are created by an aggregation of the graphical sketches of individual landholdings and the descriptive details of the land parcels such as title and extent. One of the major problems posed by the present scenario is the land dispute often taking into violent turns.
In order to get rid of such deficiencies and to fully cater to the present as well as future requirements of the landholders on the one side and government departments and other organizations involved in land matters on the other, the substitution of the existing records with a modern and dynamic system is very much essential.
This paper describes the latest tools and software like GPS and GIS respectively which can be used for the accuracy and automation process of LIS, the advantages in implementation and the caveats in the Indian Scenario.
