A Country Profile Of The Land Administration Domain Model For The Integration Of Land And Housing In China

Land and housing are not only the basis for the existence and development of human but alsoimportant guarantees for the economic development and social stability, especially in urbanareas. Due to their mutually dependent existence in reality, the transfer or mortgage ofhousing would also require the transfer or mortgage of its appurtenant land at the same time.As a result of the integrated natural property of land and housing, the certificate of housingand land could not be isolated and should provide a uniform certification. Moreover, from thelegal perspective, a number of provisions have formulated that it is necessary to introduce anintegrated mechanism for land and housing management, especially for the registration issue.However, in most regions of China, land and housing are still managed by two differentdepartments, namely the MLR and the MOHURD. Such separate modes of land and housingbring about inconveniences for real estate development, transactions and also leads to anumber of disadvantages in actual practices.As for this integration problem, this thesis tries to solve it from the technical perspective.Meanwhile, according to the Land Administration Maturity Model (LAMM) which wasintroduced by Prof. Peter van Oosterom, this research attempts to solve the problem at thestandardization stage. Thus, the principle of Land Administration Domain Model (LADM)–ISO standard19152is introduced then. Based on this basic knowledge, the design task ofLADM country profile for China is carried out. Specifically, this task can be divided intothree main phases: analysis of required and current structure for land and housing database inChina, design of the LADM country profile for China based on these analysis results and theevaluation of this country profile.Specifically, first of all, on the basis of related laws and regulations, a series of legalrequirements for the integrated mechanism for land and housing management in China iscollected. Then, the current structure for land and housing database is studied by referring theSULBRD standard, which takes the Chongqing Municipality for example. Next, based onthese two analysis outputs, the country profile for China is developed in accordance with the LADM standard. Finally, in order to evaluate this country profile, an evaluation framework isestablished. It generally consists of two main parts: on one hand, the requirements verificationis to verify the achievement of legal requirements collected in the analysis stage. On the otherhand, the abstract test suite is carried out to examine the compliance of the country profile forChina.Following the procedure above, a LADM country profile for China is designed. As for thiscountry profile, its foundations are relevant legal requirements collected from related laws andregulations and the SULBRD. Considering the focus of this research, the integrated structurefor land and housing database is one of key features in the country profile. Moreover, withinthis country profile, any key feature is that it covers the domain of both land and housingmanagement of China in general.
