Systematic Land Inventorization: Comparison Of Systems

Image
The inventory system for land is a hierarchical system that consists of seven levels. The first three levels contain data related to the climate and geology of land, divided into provinces, sections, and sub-sections.  The bottom four levels involve data concerning land type as well as its association, phase, and site. Within these categories exist various classes defined by details about landforms, soils, and climax plant types.  Every level in systematic land inventorization offers information related to land resources that is suitable for particular planning requirements. Further subdivisions can be made in the abovementioned classes so that more exact information can be gained at a lower level of  The classes in each level can be subdivided to provide more specific data at one or more of the lower levels. The data can also be consolidated for generalized information at a larger level. Discussing the Various Kinds of Systematic Land Inventorization Land system inventory is often com

Land Administration and Management: Challenges & Solutions

Image
Designing and implementing efficient land management systems is tricky. These need economic resources and qualified people, and these are both in scarce supply in a majority of African nations.  Conventional land governing arrangements and regulatory systems are seldom in sync, and aligning them in a way that is beneficial to not just the rural poor but to all the land users, can be complicated. Moreover, poor land management promotes the use of land segments for patronage purposes. What is Land Administration and Management? The term land administration and management is used generally to refer to processes related to the recognition of land rights, development of precise land data, structuralizing, taxation, and other aspects of land governance.   These tasks are essential for the efficient handling of this resource, which is why it is vital for the development of a nation. It involves the following -  ● Allotting land rights  ● Determining land perimeters ● Transferring land r

Improving Land Tax Collection - Uganda as a Prime Example

Image
Countries across the globe are encouraging their Local Governments (LGs)  to explore ways to improve revenues from their land tax collection systems.  One major reason for such interest is swift urbanization throughout countries like Uganda. Another reason is the growing pressure for public services by people living in the city. There have been some reforms in Uganda regarding property tax that have boosted identification rates as well as property evaluation.  While these have certainly strengthened the base of property tax in the nation, several local governments or LGs still struggle with some challenges of land administration such as lesser collection. This is mostly due to insufficient compliance.  Challenges of Land Administration Faced by Local Governments In this post, we examine the issues being experienced during land tax collection in Uganda, and some ways in which these can be overcome while maintaining higher collection rates with a more citizen-oriented approach. First, l

European Global Navigation Satellite System: Applications

Image
Through the last few decades, the GPS (Global Positioning System) has remained the most important positioning tool throughout various applications involving Geodesy as well as Geophysics. The upcoming satellite systems, however, are also able to improve such applications, such as Regional Navigation Satellite Systems and Global Navigation Satellite Systems.  GNSS like the  European Global Navigation Satellite System (Galileo), GLObal Naya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS, Russia), Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS, Japan), and RNSS like the Indian Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) have augmented modernization from dual to triple frequency signals off-recently.  Major Applications of European Global Navigation Satellite System & Other GNSS Experts estimate that the world will gain access to over a hundred satellites as part of a multi-GNSS model involving different types of global navigation satellite system . These will communicate their signals through a

Types of Global Navigation Satellite System Variants Today

Image
Taking out your phone to navigate through a new place seems commonplace these days. Anytime you feel lost, you can simply type in a destination and begin using GPS, a little chip in your phone that gives time and location related data anywhere across the globe.  GPS (Global Positioning System) is actually one of the main types of types of global navigation satellite system available around the earth. There are four main systems and two regional systems in all -  • GPS (United States) • GLONASS (Russia) • Galileo (European global navigation satellite system) • BeiDou (China) • QZSS (Japan) (Regional system) • IRNSS or NavIC (India) (regional system) History of Global Navigation Satellite Systems Let us take a look at some important details about the various types of global navigation satellite systems available around the earth:  GPS Operating since 1978, GPS is the oldest global navigation satellite system, but how did this technology develop in the first place?

Satellite Based Navigation System: Obstacles & Opportunities

Image
GNSS or Global Navigation Satellite System and RTK (Real Time Kinematic) have combined into an impressive form of technology. However, with every innovation, there are not only a lot of advantages but also a few challenges.  Here, we will discuss some of the obstacles one might face when using high-precision technology like this satellite based navigation system along with how to overcome those issues.   Problems and Fixes for Satellite Based Navigation System Here are the most common challenges one encounters while using this technology: ● Large objects that hinder the field of application like structural constructions and trees. ● A lack of strong and reliable communication to services that can make adjustments and corrections as needed.  ● Institutional and financial players that exercise their influence of the use and acceptance of GNSS overhaul. The sophisticated mechanics involved in systems like the European global navigation satellite system tend to complicate things for
