Why a tenure atlas?

It is estimated that 70% of the global land to people relationship are not recorded or registered.

But how can this be measured, and how can registered land coverage be monitored.

It is not only about land registration but also about tenure systems, institutions, land development, gender equality, concessions, taxation, land market, reference systems…. and the SDG’s and the Agenda 2030

UN-GGIM

• Initiative to improve (re)use of geospatial data• Coordinates work and invites and stimulates “parties” to take

initiatives• 3 Expert groups with a work plan• EG LAM focus on geospatial data and information for Land

Administration• Work plan with several activities• Preparing a tenure atlas is one of the activities

Project organisation

Project funded by Ministry of Foreign Affairs NLProject hosted by Kadaster NLProject responsible Suzanne Valkman (Kadaster)

Team composition• Joep Crompvoets (University Leuven)• Wim Feringa (ITC-University Twente)• Christiaan Lemmen (Kadaster)• Rik Wouters (coordination) (WPLA/Kadaster)

Who is the Target Group?

Main Project Deliverables

• Framework for land tenure atlas• List of themes covering the content• Analysis of required data and available data (content and format)• Proposals how to illustrate data by map, graphics, tables, etc• Prototype to probe the usefulness and relevance Atlas (not ready)

Data sources

Starting point: no new data acquisitionAvailable sources at world level:

• Doing Business, LGAF, EBA (Worldbank)• Land use report (OECD)• Global Land Indicators Initiative (GLTN)• Landportal.info

Available sources at national level:• Many sources free of use

Match required data (themes) and available data (sources) is poor:• Not the right data• Not in the proper format to make maps and infographicsNB: additional data acquisition might be desired at world or national level

Future steps to produce the atlas

• First step in quite a complex project!• Important questions:

• Who will fund and produce the atlas? • Who will host and maintain the atlas?• How will the data be acquired?• How will the project organisation look like?
