Project Abstract:

Flexible and consumer-friendly land registration and cadastre system should have a major impact in the economic development of the country. As of today National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) carries out reorganization of registration offices throughout Georgia, tries to simplify registration procedures, sets the new requirements for graphical data maintenance and collects all cadastral information into the unified Geo Database.

 

Some registration offices of Georgia, including Gardabani registration office, maintain graphical information in MapInfo format, while the NAPR started transformation of cadastral data into ArcGIS software and integration of information into unified Geo Database. Cadastral works in Gardabani rayon were carried out by the WB funded project several years ago. Graphical data were presented in MapInfo format, and alphanumeric – in three different MS Access databases. Gardabani registration office has not made any updates of graphical database since receiving cadastral material. These data have not been integrated into the unified Geo Database as well.

 

Association for Protection of Landowners’ Rights carries out convesrion of graphical and alphanumeric data of Gardabani rayon into requested format and integrates them into unified database. The works are financed by the WB Agriculture Development Projects’ Coordination Centre.

 

For the fulfillment of set goals APLR specialists make corrections to topologic base through processing of orthophotos and digital maps and if necessary carry out field surveys, establish database structure and methodology for data transfer. Based on this methodology graphical information on land parcels, buildings, motorways and railways are transformed from MapInfo program into ArcGIS software. Alphanumeric MS Access databases are also converted into requested format. Finally, all graphic and alphanumeric information are transferred into the unified geoinformation system.

 

APLR specialists also study data movement at Gardabani registration office and develop recommendations and instructions for the advancement of flexible scheme, as well as for efficient procedure of cadastral information update. Respectively, appropriate trainings are provided for Gardabani public registry employees.

 

The works envisioned by the project plays an important role in the debelopment of land cadastre and registration system of Georgia and contributes to the creation of unified geo database.
