The project involves computerization of land record management processes where land data is managed and maintained on a Geographical Information System (GIS) based platform.

The project involved the development of various GIS applications to support the innovate, and first of its kind, Land Bank of Pakistan that could help better lands planning and encourage feature and facilities based land lease. An important feature of the project was to integrate the GIS Spatial data with the computerized Land Records (LARMIS).

The Survey Department from Sindh Board of Revenue, under the mandate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, tasked R2V to conduct a DGPS based GIS survey of the allotted lands of Karachi West District and to plot the available land into 16-acre plots. R2V conducted an intense field study, digitized the Land Record parcels (Deh maps), collaborated the parcels from Field Books dimensions, and geo-referenced the maps.  

The Data Entry of Land Records - Sindh is launched by Government of Sindh, aimed to modernize management of land records, minimize the scope of land/property disputes, enhance transparency in the land records maintenance system, and facilitate moving eventually towards guaranteed conclusive titles to immovable properties in the province. 

High-resolution satellite images were acquired for identification of land-use and feature extraction and a GIS was prepared to feature all the required layers including the road network, water bodies, coastline, building footprints, plantation and various forms of land use. An additional layer of cadastral maps was integrated to identify the land ownership and parcel mapping.

Cadastral mapping was undertaken for land parcels of Grenada and the hand drafted output was sent to R2V head office for digitization and parcel identification tagging. The layer was then correlated with the feature extracted from high-resolution satellite images and a final output prepared as a comprehensive GIS.

AutoCAD Map was used to create a DEM of Trinidad. The 1:50,000sheets were scanned, Geo-referenced and mosaiced to serve as a background map of the Island. All the contour lines were digitized in AutoCAD. The Elevation data was also attached to the AutoCAD environment. Finally, the ESRI GRID format was created based on elevation data from ArcGIS ArcView module.

In the wake of the earthquake, R2V (Private) Limited volunteered to mobilize a panel of GIS experts to assist the Federal Relief Commission through the offices of DG C4I, General headquarters, Rawalpindi. The GIS tabulated various aspects of damage assessment and relief status along with the prediction of landslides, using Fuzzy Logic System.

The high-resolution imagery was used for the delineation of the present coastal boundary of the island. Inventory of existing jetties was prepared with the database. Various spectral signatures were analyzed for the vegetation cover and finally, the image was classified for land use categories.

The Director-General, MLC, commissioned this GIS study to ascertain the exact boundaries of their Camping Grounds using DGPS equipment, and in accordance with the Revenue Department records. 

AutoCAD Map was used to create a GIS of Saint Christopher. All the topographic objects were modelled in AutoCAD and topologies were created for Road Networks for the calculation of shortest path. The data was attached also in AutoCAD environment to facilitate query wizard. 

The first three sections of Pakistan motorways comprise of M1, M2, and M3. R2V was tasked to compile a detailed GIS of the three sections so that a reliable inventory of structures, road furniture, and roadside services could be tabulated. In addition, detailed land acquisition and settlement records were collected and tabulated within the GIS. 

This was again a very comprehensive GIS that involved the acquisition of 0.6m satellite images for the AOI, geo-referencing, and ortho-rectification of the images and the capturing all the visible features.  Attribute information on the digitized data was acquired and tagged into their respective tables. 

Army Housing Directorate builds and allots constructed housing units to the retired Army Officers. R2V was provided hand-drawn layout and building plans and asked to compile a detailed GIS on each scheme, overlay these over 0.6m Satellite Images against each location and to digitize and display the floor plans of various units under each scheme.

akistan Railways has massive landholding throughout Pakistan in shape of their right of Way. However, most of the land was underutilized, encroached upon or ill-defined. R2V was engaged to build upon the concept, floated by R2V.

DGPS based mapping of the N5 road corridor (both the North and South bounds) was performed to ascertain the area that falls under its Right of Way between Peshawar and Okara. Kinematic leap frog survey technique was employed to demarcate the existing road up to Centimetre accuracy. Attribute data was designed and implemented in ArcGIS environment for value and area of land.

IKONOUS 1m resolution satellite imagery was used in conjunction with 1:2,500 topo-sheets for the creation of an up-to-date map of Grenade and a Digital Elevation Model to assist the relief activities. The topographic maps were geo-referenced, digitized and a mosaic was created. This Mosaic was later on updated with the Ikonous satellite imagery.
