An individual assignment and a group assignment evaluate learning of practical skills and an exam assesses the students’ understanding of concepts introduced in the course. Exercises and assignments are performed using software introduced during lectures or supervised practical sessions and, where possible, real-world data-sets are used.\n\nThe group assignment is completed as part of the LIS Workshop during which student groups develop a software prototype that implements one or more land administration processes using the Scrum method. The Scrum approach, used in most modern software development projects, is introduced at the beginning of the course. Students have the opportunity to practice using the Scrum method in exercises."@en . . . . . .

They may contribute to secure land tenure or support land valuation, land use planning and land development. Despite contextual differences between countries, there are fundamental concepts that apply to all land information systems. The main objective of this course is to discover, apply, and assess these concepts and technologies – and inspire students to deploy them in the creation and maintenance of scalable real-world land information systems.\n\nThe course focuses on the modeling of data and processes for the implementation of Information Systems for Land Administration. It therefore has two integrated series of lectures: one focusing on data modeling and implementation in a spatially enabled database management systems; the other focusing on the identification and modeling/design of software functionalities that support land administration processes. These two parts are linked together by a practical LIS prototyping workshop."@en . "Land information systems and models "@en . . "Land information systems and models "@en .

Moreover, the use of ICT, open source, proprietary and web-based services, have seen an emergence of innovative cadastres. They can efficiently support unconventional land administration through documentation and management of land rights.\nThis course aims to provide contemporary knowledge, hands-on experience, and implementation know-how in land informatics and 3D Cadastre using innovative tools.

"In this course the socio-technical processes involved in organizational change are addressed from social science and from applied technology angles as stated in the introduction. Social science focuses on insights from organization and management studies critical data studies and geodata ethics . To grasp these insights and their relevance to practice lectures are complemented by student-led activities, including the analysis of relevant literature and discussions, and application of organizational assessment and strategy building frameworks. The applied technology angle of the course is addressed through two extensive practical periods with assignments (ca. 1/2 of the allocated time of the course), during which students will acquire and apply technological skills to manage organizational workflows and to analyse web services for spatial data provision. Through the incorporation of literature analysis activities, focus group and interview methods into activities and assignments the course also provides opportunity to learn and practice these research skills that are applicable beyond the specific course content."@en . . . . . .

"Land administration has long been executed through state-based agencies such as cadastral departments, land registry offices, ministries of land, or local governments with their own analogue or digital data repositories. These organizations do not act in a vacuum, but within larger institutional fields and forces. The broader environment of land governance, in which public organizations operate, is characterized by the interactions of multiple state and non-state actors, formal and informal practices, a multitude of regulatory frameworks and increasing global interconnectivity. This environment has been witnessing public sector reforms and increased adoption of (geo)Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), including automatization techniques, mobile device generated data, crowdsourcing and advanced remote sensing technologies. In many places more established forms of organizing meet latest technological developments. While some organizations are beginning to digitize paper-based workflows, others may function through highly automated and digitized processes. At the same time information technologies and digital data are not merely neutral tools, but they reflect, transport and transform the practices and values of organizations and institutional fields.\n\nIt is important therefore to understand and learn how to describe, explain, and assess organizational change in response to changing environments, (geo-)ICT implementation, and related forms of data sharing, uses and dissemination.

The course therefore addresses both conventional and innovative ways of securing land rights, promoting a paradigm shift towards responsible land administration.\n\nThe course relates state-of-the-art scientific knowledge to students' experiences, perceptions and country context."@en .

"The Master’s Programme Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (M-GEO) is a two-year academic curriculum at MSc level, taught fully in English, dedicated to understanding the earth’s systems from a geographic and spatial perspective. The field of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation has, in recent years, witnessed fast scientific and technological developments. As a result, geographic information has become a vital asset to society and part of our daily life. The ubiquitous production and availability of spatial data require cloud computing and new technology to turn the increasing volume of ‘big data’ to good use. The growing range of global challenges, from climate change and resource depletion to environmental pollution and pandemic diseases, that our society and in particular the more vulnerable populations on our planet are facing, increases the demand for academic professionals who have the ability, attitudes and skills to design solutions that are sustainable, transdisciplinary and innovative with positive societal impacts. Our education focuses on addressing these global problems by means of advanced geo-information and earth observation applications."@en .
