Abstract
Abstract. European Commission funded project entitled: "Support to the mapping and certification capacity of the Agency of Land Management, Geodesy and Cartography" in Tajikistan was run by FINNMAP FM-International and Human Dynamics from Nov. 2006 to June 2011. The Agency of Land Management, Geodesy and Cartography is the state agency responsible for development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of state policies on land tenure and land management, including the on-going land reform and registration of land use rights. The specific objective was to support and strengthen the professional capacity of the "Fazo" Institute in the field of satellite geodesy, digital photogrammetry, advanced digital satellite image processing of high resolution satellite data and digital cartography. Lectures and on-the-job trainings for the personnel of "Fazo" and Agency in satellite geodesy, digital photogrammetry, cartography and the use of high resolution satellite data for cadastral mapping have been organized. Standards and Quality control system for all data and products have been elaborated and implemented in the production line. Technical expertise and trainings in geodesy, photogrammetry and satellite image processing to the World Bank project "Land Registration and Cadastre System for Sustainable Agriculture" has also been completed in Tajikistan. The new map projection was chosen and the new unclassified geodetic network has been established for all of the country in which all agricultural parcel boundaries are being mapped. IKONOS, QuickBird and WorldView1 panchromatic data have been used for orthophoto generation. Average accuracy of space triangulation of non-standard (long up to 90km) satellite images of QuickBird Pan and IKONOS Pan on ICPs: RMSEx = 0.5m and RMSEy = 0.5m have been achieved. Accuracy of digital orthophoto map is RMSExy = 1.0m. More then two and half thousands of digital orthophoto map sheets in the scale of 1:5000 with pixel size 0.5m have been produced so far by the “Fazo” Institute in Tajikistan on the basis of technology elaborated in the framework of this project. Digital cadastral maps are produced in "Fazo" and Cadastral Regional Centers in Tajikistan using ArcMap software. These digital orthophotomaps will also be used for digital mapping of water resources and other needs of the country.
Highlights
The main objective of the project was to support the implementation of transparent and efficient land reform process in Tajikistan through capacity building and assisting the Agency of Land Management, Geodesy and Cartography (ALMGC) in preparation of geodetic and modern photogrammetric data for cadastral mapping of agricultural land
The modern cadastral system based on a parcel map with right dimensions, right shape in open geodetic coordinates system, and correctly computed areas of parcels, cannot be done nowadays without the use of modern mapping technology and the new high resolution satellite data: QuickBird, WorldView1,2, IKONOS, GeoEye1
Strengthening of the professional capacity of the “Fazo” Institute was necessary in the field of satellite geodesy, digital photogrammetry, advanced digital satellite image processing and advanced digital cartography
Summary
The main objective of the project was to support the implementation of transparent and efficient land reform process in Tajikistan through capacity building and assisting the Agency of Land Management, Geodesy and Cartography (ALMGC) in preparation of geodetic and modern photogrammetric data for cadastral mapping of agricultural land. The modern cadastral system based on a parcel map with right dimensions, right shape in open geodetic coordinates system, and correctly computed areas of parcels, cannot be done nowadays without the use of modern mapping technology and the new high resolution satellite data: QuickBird, WorldView, IKONOS, GeoEye. No specialists in modern mapping technology were available in the country. Strengthening of the professional capacity of the “Fazo” Institute was necessary in the field of satellite geodesy, digital photogrammetry, advanced digital satellite image processing and advanced digital cartography. As two other projects were running at that time in Tajikistan - cooperation and providing expertise for World Bank (WB) project: “Land Registration and Cadastre System for Sustainable Agriculture” and SIDA project: “Capacity Building for Implementation of the Law of Registration of Land and Immovable Property and Rights to it” has been established
