Track: Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Affairs
Author(s): Shusheng Zhang, Yang Zhao
Landstar Digital Technology of Beijing, China partnered with Esri China Beijing, Trimble China, Chreod Group Inc., Esri Canada and International Land Systems Inc. (ILS) to help demonstrate the feasibility of applying state-of-the-art GIS and surveying technologies to solve one of the most pressing land policy challenges facing China today. Results of the recently completed pilot project may ultimately serve as the foundation for a nationwide GIS-based rural land registration and certification program. Should the Chinese government give the go-ahead for the project implementation, it could quite potentially enhance China’s ability to feed its people through the safeguarding of land rights for over 800 million farmers. This presentation highlights the activities, results and lessons learned of the China Rural Land Registration and Certification Pilot Program through its Rural Development Policy Centre with funding from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Bank and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
