Abstract
Abstract A critical step in improving the planning and development process is to modernize land records. Modernization requires the application of geographic information systems (GIS) concepts and technology. Two types of systems are involved. One is a generalized GIS for site selection and evaluation and for land value analysis, both of which are needed to make the land transaction and land development process more efficient and effective. The other is a more detailed multipurpose land information system to facilitate the detailed analysis for site planning purposes, and to plan and engineer infrastructure systems to service development. This article discusses ways in which GIS technology can assist planners and developers through the design of land information systems (LIS) that can serve both groups. This prospect promises to minimize the “my data are better than your data” argument. The promise is elusive, unless state government takes a strong role in dealing with the land data needs of public and private sectors. The article identifies problems with current systems and approaches and offers a strategy for building more powerful LIS.
