Preparation Of Coordinate Based Cadastral Map In Rural Ethiopia Case Study Biteejersa Lafo Ka Oromia Region

Cadastral systems have a long tradition. The Cadastre is a parcel-based system, i.e. information isrngeographically referenced to unique, well-defined units of land. These units are defined by the formal orrninformal boundaries marking the extent of lands held for exclusive use by individuals and specific groupsrnof individuals (e.g. families, corporations, and communal groups).Besides, Cadastral Systems have beenrnacknowledged to be a core component of land administration systems, yet they have been facing arnnumber of challenges ranging from technological pressure to user requirement changes. This due to therndifferent stages of development, different countries have different capacities for the development ofrncadastral systems. In particular, human, technological and financial resources will determine the mostrnappropriate form of cadastral system to meet the needs of individual countries. Nevertheless, a fullfledgedrncadastral system in developing countries like Ethiopia is in its’ inception stage. Hence, this hasrnbeen hamper the efficient utilization of natural resources i.e., the land use and land administration of therncountry as a whole and the rural Ethiopia in particular. This is due to the infancy of the cadastralrnsurveying in the country.rnThe cadastral surveying techniques in Ethiopia are using traditional measuring devices (e.g., chains,rnrods, tape, or strings). Hence, the plots are described according to their positional relationship to thosernfeatures and as to their position relative to neighboring plots (e.g., whose property is on the north, south,rneast, and west sides of the plot being registered).For this reason in the three certification period inrnEthiopia none of the regions prepared a (cadastral) map, not even a sketch and/or they simplyrnmeasurement based cadastral surveying techniques.Thus,the integration of GPS and High resolutionrnsatellite images with GIS in producing coordinate based cadastral map could accelerate the cadastralrnmap coverage in Ethiopia .This is also tested its’ procedure in the study area Bite- Ejersa Lefo KebelernAdministration.rnMoreover, the research also tries to review the countries experiences on the current development andrnadministrational framework of cadastral system which is already reported by the cadastral institutionsrnunder united nation. Likewise, an attempt has undertaken to see the Ethiopian existing capacity towardsrncadastral surveying techniques, and the current circumstances of cadastral map coverage in the country.rnFinally, cadastral map also trying to see from the angle of NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure).rnThat is cadastral map as an input to spatial data infrastructure.rnKeywords: Cadastral system, coordinate based cadastral map, GPS, High resolution satellite images,rnGIS, NSDI
