The Geoportal for the Columbia Administration of Tierras
Main Article Content
Abstract
Within the context of the peace process, Colombia faces determinant challenges of land management, specifically regarding mass tenure formalization (Agencia Nacional de Tierras, 2017), providing to rural inhabitants access to land by means of a Land Fund (Alto Comisionado para la Paz, 2016), restitute land to the victims of forced dispossession and abandonment, administration of the Nation’s fallow lands, as well as delimitation of special rural inhabitant’s reserve zones. In this framework, the policy for a “modern multipurpose cadaster that integrates spatial planning and information systems” was proposed, in response to the current reality where 28% of the country’s territory does not have cadastral information, and 63.9% of the land register is not updated (CONPES, 2016). In support of this process, one of the main foundations is the availability of technical standards, based on international norms that allow for a multipurpose cadastre, interrelated with the property registry, and other information systems of the Land Administration domain.
Project of Modernization of Land Administration in Colombia, Switzerland's Secretary of State for Economic Affairs (SECO) is supporting the construction of the Geoportal for Land Administration. This article discusses the specific use case of the Geoportal for Land Administration, in development, disaggregating some key elements for its development and its link as a platform for the consolidation of the Peace Agreement.
