Abstract

Investigates the development and implementation of digital cadastral map databases for Mosul District, Iraq, addressing the transition from traditional paper-based systems to modern geospatial technologies. The research explores the integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies to enhance cadastral mapping processes.

Encompass data collection from diverse sources, including high-resolution satellite imagery, aerial photography, and existing cadastral maps. A comprehensive analysis of data types— vector, raster, Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN), and tabular—is conducted to establish an optimal  database  structure.  The  study  delineates the  technical  capabilities  of  GIS  in  data processing, spatial analysis, and model preparation, emphasizing the importance of data accuracy and consistency.

A systematic approach to data entry, including map scanning, georeferencing, and digitization, is presented. The research outlines the creation of a multi-layered geographic database, incorporating both spatial and descriptive data. Protocols for database updating using satellite imagery and field surveys are developed, ensuring the currency and reliability of cadastral information.

The results demonstrate significant improvements in data management, spatial analysis capabilities, and information accessibility compared to traditional methods. The study concludes that digital cadastral databases offer enhanced decision-making support for land administration and urban planning in Mosul District.

Contributes to the body of knowledge on modernizing cadastral systems in developing regions, providing insights into  technological integration, data standardization, and  the  challenges associated  with transitioning  to digital cadastral management systems. The  findings have implications for policy makers and land administrators seeking to implement similar systems in comparable urban contexts.
