Abstract
The role of remote sensing data in detecting, estimating, and monitoring socioeconomic status (SES) such as quality of life dimensions and sustainable development prospects has received increased attention. Geospatial data has emerged as powerful source of information for enabling both socio-technical assessment and socio-legal analysis in land administration domain. In the context of Korean (re-)unification, there is a notable paucity of evidence how to identify unknowns in North Korea. The main challenge is the lack of complete and adequate information when it comes to clarifying unknown land tenure relations and land governance arrangements. Deriving informative land tenure relations from geospatial data in line with socio-economic land attributes is currently the most innovative approach. In-close and in-depth investigations of validating the suitability of a set of geospatially informed proxies combining multiple values were taken into consideration, as were the forms of knowledge co-production. Thus, the primary aim is to provide empirical evidence of whether proposed proxies are scientifically valid, policy-relevant, and socially robust. We revealed differences in the distributions of agreements relating to land ownership and land transfer rights identification among scientists, bureaucrats, and stakeholders. Moreover, we were able to measure intrinsic, contextual, representational, and accessibility attributes of information quality regarding the associations between earth observation (EO) data and land tenure relations in North Korea from a number of different viewpoints. This paper offers valuable insights into new techniques for validating suitability of EO data proxies in the land administration domain off the reliance on conventional practices formed and customized to the specific artefacts and guidelines of the remote sensing community.
Highlights
Of the four different land tenure claims, both Chi-square and one-way ANOVA analysis revealed that the distribution of agreements relating to land ownership and land transfer rights identification varied among scientific experts, bureaucrats, and stakeholders
It was possible to measure intrinsic, contextual, representational, and accessibility attributes of comprehensive information to ascertain associations between earth observation (EO) data and land tenure relations in North Korea based on different viewpoints
The findings of this investigation complement those of a previous study relating to a conceptual and methodological development of a geospatially informed analysis in the land administration domain [21]
Summary
Geospatial thinking and technology have provided an important opportunity to advance the understanding of the specific questions which drives SES perspectives that include humanitarian health [6,7], rural household poverty [4,8], neighborhood deprivation [9], valuation of land and property [10], and urban dynamics [3]. This argument has given rise to much debate on making an association of remotely sensed spatial data and socio-economic parameters and predicting or interpreting them. A novel approach to land administration sheds a contemporary light on grounded theories and practices of land tenure, use, value, development, and governance
