Integrated Geospatial Information Framework for the Sustainable Management of the Multipurpose Cadastre: GIS Evaluation Model for Argentina, provincial level.

Abstract

The evolution towards efficient territorial management requires assuming processes of standardization, interoperability and implementation of geographic data infrastructures, as well as generating agile models that allow measuring results, guiding technological investment and achieving a sustainable return by local governments and their cadastral administrations.

This research proposes to adapt and apply the Reference Evaluation guide of the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework, designed by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Global Management of Geospatial Information, on the case study of the Federal Cadastral System of Argentina, with the objective of evaluating the nature of the standards and interoperable geo-technologies involved in the transformation process of their provincial cadastres.

Methodologically, a georeferenced survey is used to collect qualitative and quantitative information at the provincial level, and data mining tools are used to obtain and relate the data obtained with a geographic focus, through GIS technologies.

The results at the provincial level focus on the axes of cadastral and technological modernization with a multipurpose approach and their discussion concludes in recommendations on the efficient use of global evaluation models and their adaptability in government administrations. With the application of the guide, it is expected to measure the progress and challenges assumed by provincial administrations in the adoption of a multipurpose model.

Finally, the role of current geospatial technologies is highlighted to promote intersectoral collaboration and replicate the experience in other Latin American countries.
