With the fast development of the information technology of the society, each and every trade has been actively involved in the establishment of the information system, and the management of land use being no exception. In the management of land use system, the official register of land is one of the crucial but difficult points. In order to ensure scientific systematization of the management of land, it is necessary to obtain the latest and detailed information of the official register of land use.Since Macao covers an area of 26.8Km2, it is particularly important to utilize and exploit its land resources. Due to the lack of long-term, sustainable and integrated management and planning by the Macao Government under the Portuguese Administration, the official registration of land use, the utilization of land resource and the planning of urban regions have undoubtedly hindered the favorable development of Macao.Due to the fact that many cities of the mainland China have been establishing their information system of land, the issues of the betterment of the management of the official registration of the land use and the establishment, reinforcement and development of Macao's official registration system through information technology and theory have associative and far-reaching effects on the efficient and appropriate utilization of Macao's land resources.This Thesis is divided into 5 parts:The first part outlines the concepts and contents of the management of the official registration of land and the utilization of land resources. The second part deals with the history of the official registration system of the land use in retrospect. It also displays the evolutionary process of land resources through "MicroStation" professional Drawing Software. The third part describes the Macao policies and problems in land management. By using "ArcView" of GIS, and "Excel" to draw up the map of the existing utilization of Macao land, the existing land structure of Macao land and the like, this part investigates and analyzes these maps and obtains the actual utilization of different types of land resources by induction.The fourth part suggests some reforms raised by the author. Based upon these, the author suggests the progressive use of "Rationalized Management Model" to establish the official registration system of land use. Finally, the fifth part gives direction to the exploitation of current and future land resources of Macao. In the meantime, this part indicates that Macao, while capitalizing on its comparative advantage, should co-operate closely with the Pearl River Delta and the European Countries in the trend towards globalization in the achievement of the common objective of sustainable development.
