Abstract
Cadastre is the pivot of the Land Administration (LA) system, and it describes the right, restrictions and responsibilities (RRRs) associated with land (Njuki 2001). The current cadastre system package is made up of the following: a cadastral plan (geometric dimension of the parcel), the interest, right (ownership), and values. Other vital information such as cultural attribute, physical attribute, utility data, and legal attributes are not considered. Though no one can claim absolute ownership of land, every individual traces a lineage to land. This means that every one owns right to land with respect to and in accordance with the local laws, practice and encumbrances. Multipurpose Cadastre which combines geospatial data to cultural, physical and legal attributes with utility data through technical integration is very essential for developing countries like Ghana. The model has a potential to support spatially enabled government, private sectors, society and to expand Information Technology Communication (ICT) support in the process of visualization, organization and management of useful land information (Bin Taib 2012). Figure 15.1 illustrates the potentials of MPC.
