PROPOSED FUTURE ROADMAP DIRECTION I PROVIDING
A QUALITY LIVING ENVIRONMENT- Sustainable Use of
LandResource - 11 -Consultation_Booklet

• Rural Planning and Land Management
• Some people have suggested that the
• Government could take more proactive measures
• to address these complex issues. A holistic
• approach involving policy review, new
• implementation mechanism and land
• management practices with adequate funding
• support would be a possible option. This
• alternative for a holistic land management
  system,
• however, requires significant resources and
• extensive private participation.

10
HKILA Inputs on Proactive Measures A
Possible Option

• CB did not recognise
• the importance of land as a basic cross-cutting
  issue -cross-sector aspects of the modern LAS
  which would cater for all land-related issues.
• Sustainable Development needs sound Land
  Administration.
• CB put the comments on holistic land management
  system under Rural Planning and Land Management

HKILA Inputs on Proactive Measures A
Possible Option

•  Sustainable development demands complex
  decision-making.  Complex decision-making
  requires ready access to current, relevant and
  accurate information. 
• Of particular significance is information from a
  spatial perspective that links into GIS, SDI and
  Decision support systems (DSS).
• (ABSTRACT OF SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURES AND
  GOOD GOVERNANCE -FRAMEWORKS FOR LAND
  ADMINISTRATION REFORM TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE
  DEVELOPMENT.   Lisa Ting Ian Williamson,
  Department of Geomatics, The University of
  Melbourne, 4th Global Spatial Data Infrastructure
  Conference, Cape Town, South Africa, 13-15 March
  2000 )    

13
HKILA Inputs on Proactive Measures A
Possible Option

• Modern land administration studies and
• experiences have led to the conclusion that
• adequate LAS is crucial to Sustainable
  Development,
• sound Land Information System (LIS) is crucial to
  adequate LAS and
• integrated Spatial/Geo-referenced Data
  Information System (S/GDIS) is crucial to sound
  LIS

14
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• Growing awareness of the LAS and the SDI by
  countries and cities in Asia region,
• Hong Kong is losing its competitive edge in the
  information strategy and public administration
  for ignoring this important aspect of SDI
  development

15
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• One of the top priorities of digital earth
  development strategy in China is to build China's
  National Spatial Data Infrastructure (CNSDI).
  (The Digital Earth (DE) strategy has been
  vigorously developed in recent years especially
  in Pearl River and Yangtse River Delta cities.)

• Even Macau has taken the initiative to establish
  SDI under the Cartography and Cadastre Bureau
  (DSCC)- http//www.gis.gov.mo/dscc/engl/newfirst.h

16
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• HKSAR Government have a tradition of separate
  governmental institutions involved in the L A
  implementation work.
• Tedious and separate inquiries have to be made
  about relevant spatial /cadastral information
  before any decision can be made and appropriate
  action can take place.

22
Spatial data information system in HKSARG

• Two initiatives within Government to integrate
  the spatial data assets
• A consultancy study to examine the sharing and
  exchange among concerned Government departments
  of geographical data collated for land, planning,
  development and other purposes.
• This study will involve a total of 13
  departments,
• A joint study for developing the technical
  infrastructure for exchanging underground
  utilities information electronically and
  automatically. (Highways Department, in
  conjunction with Drainage Services Department,
  Water Supplies Department, and five major utility
  undertakers),

23
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• These diverse information arrangements are
  normally well established politically and
  historically hence it is costly to rectify them.
• But it will be cost even more not to alter them
  as they
• failed to meet the great public demands for rapid
  access to relevant and correct information

24
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• (b) have caused confusion resulting in wrong
  decisions and undesirable outcomes in some of the
  recent socio- economic policies for lack of
  transparency accessibility.
• (c) have resulted in duplication of efforts,
  unnecessary additional costs, inaccuracies/inconsi
  stencies in the data.

25
WHY SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURES?

27
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• Unification of Spatial Data systems to form the
  LIS is more urgent than statutory and regulatory
  reforms or the introduction of new systems and
  technologies.
• A modern Cadastre and an unified L I S should be
  established.
• LR to push ahead Land Title Registration.
• SMO to complete the Cadastral Survey.

28
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• The present Land Information Centre (LIC) in the
  SMO of the Lands Department should be expanded to
  become an independent organization under a Land
  Administration Authority (L A A).
• The present cadastral and spatial data processes
  in SMO, LR and LAO should be unified and
  administered within the LIC

29
Unification/Centralization of the HKSAR Spatial
Data Systems within the LAS
30
HKILA Inputs on alternative for a holistic
land management system

• Pulling together digital spatial information from
  various GOVERNMENT and PRIVATE agencies.
• The LIC will be an ONE-STOP RESOURCE CENTRE for
  complete, comprehensive and accurate digitised
  spatial/cadastral data.

31
HKILA Inputs on significant resources

• UN-ECE Guidelines on Land Administration, 1996
• The central issue is not whether countries can
  afford such a system, but whether they can Afford
  To Live Without One.

32
HKILA Inputs on significant resources

• UN-ECE Guidelines on Land Administration, 1996
• Although land records are expensive to compile
  and to keep up to date, a good land
  administration system can produce benefits that
  significantly outweight the costs.

33
HKILA Inputs on significant resources

• Both LR and SMO have already demonstrated their
  abilities in cost recovery for their IT Strategy
  development projects.
• LR is operating cost-effectively as a Trading
  Fund entity
• SMO is pushing for privatisation

34
HKILA Inputs on extensive private
participation

• Effort towards achieving Sustainable Development
  always require extensive Public and private
  partnership
• The land and property-related institutions
  (Public or Private) must cooperate both among
  themselves and with the users in order to produce
  a centralized LIS and related individual
  databases that will suit the needs of each
  organization.

35
HKILA Inputs on extensive private
participation

• The resources of the private sector can be used
  both in the introduction and in the updating and
  maintenance of An LIS.
• There should be a clear definition of those parts
  of the total land administration that must be
  undertaken by governmental offices, and those
  activities that should be left to the private
  sector.

36
HKILA Inputs on extensive private
participation

• The institutions need
• to refocus Land Administration education,
  training and organisations to reflect market
  requirements for modern holistic approach rather
  than traditional divisional specialisations.
• to encourage Public and private partnership in
  the modern human resource development

37
SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS (SDP)

• CONSOLIDATION PATTERN
• DECENTRALISATION PATTERN
• IMPLICATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS
• EVALUATION OF THE OPTIONS

38
HKILA Inputs on SDP

• It is very important for SDP to have a formal
  relationship with the LAS because of the impact
  that development proposals will have on the land
  and the associated land rights.
• SDP would result in new subdivisions of the land
  and new patterns of land use. IV. LAND-USE
  PLANNING- Land Administration Guidelines , 9
  August 2000, the United Nations Economic
  Commission for Europe (ECE)

39
HKILA Inputs on SDP

• Failure to identify existing patterns and rights
  of ownership frequently leads to delays or even
  failure in development programmes, especially in
  urban areas.
• The key issue is No compensation is payable
  to property owners who may be affected by the
  government's regulation on land use through
  zoning except in the case of resumption under the
  Lands Resumption Ordinance. http//www.info.gov.h

  View-Author- Lawrence Wai-chung LAI

40
HKILA Inputs on SDP

• SDP is primarily concerned with future land use-
  the interaction between land rights and land
  management.
• includes the enjoyment of the land and the rights
  that are associated with it.
• Should rely on some form of land administration
  infrastructure which permits the complex range of
  Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities in land
  to be identified, mapped and managed as a basis
  for policy formulation and implementation.

41
HKILA Inputs on SDP

• Decision support systems (DSS) link into that
• infrastructure to help manage and analyse
• information for the process of decision-making.
• Relevant DSS and SDI are imperative driving
• forces in the development of a new
• generation of land administration systems
• that are appropriate for the changing
• humankind-land relationship.

42
HKILA Inputs on SDP

• Concern about SDP s Equity, Transparency and
  Accessibility
• Implications and evaluation of the Consolidation
  Pattern Decentralisation Pattern may be
  incomplete, inaccurate and misleading without the
  support of the Land Administration System.
• Land administration has a critical role in
  helping to address the tension between
  environment and development
