Here’s a look at the current situation of land administration system in Pakistan and the technical and institutional issues through stakeholders' perspective GIS DEVELOPMENT 30 LAND ADMINISTRATION Zahir Ali ITC, The Neatherlands zali@itc.nl Abdul Nasir abdulnasir59@yahoo.com RELIABILITY IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR and administration is the regulatory framework, institutional arrange- ments, systems and processes that encompass the determination, allocation, administration and information concerning land. It includes the determination and conditions of approved uses of land, the adjudication of rights and their registration via titling, the recording of land transaction and the estimation of value and taxes based on land and property. There are three com- ponents of land administration i.e. the land rights registration and manage- ment, the land use allocation and management, and the land valuation and tax- ation (Lyons and Satish, 2001). The World Bank (2001) indicates that land administration systems are usually operated within distinct social and cultural norms and values. Therefore, it is important to develop a framework that takes into account both institutional (including organisational) and technical aspects for implementing land administration systems in the context of land policy development. This article discusses the current situation of land administration system in Pakistan and the institutional and technical issues of the system through stake- holders' perspective. This provides a critical understanding of the present situ- ation of land administration system in the country. This article uses an L May 2010 Image Courtesy: Google Earth
