Land & Cadastral Information System for the Ministry of Municipality
Land & Cadastral Information System for the Ministry of Municipality
Business Overview
The Ministry of Municipality approached our team for a modernized, integrated platform to manage its Land Information System (LIS) and Cadastral Information System (CIS). The GIS team at NeST Digital developed web and desktop interfaces aligned to the Ministry’s workflows, upgraded the legacy geospatial infrastructure from ArcGIS 9.3 to ArcGIS 10x, and provided continuous enhancements and maintenance support. The solution also included the migration of survey parcels to Parcel Fabric, ensuring improved spatial data accuracy and manageability.
Challenge
The Ministry’s existing geospatial system was outdated, scattered across multiple tools, and lacked unified workflows.
Key challenges included:
- Manual and disjointed processes across LIS/CIS
- Limited capability to manage cadastral, policy plan, zoning, and permit-related spatial data
- Difficulty maintaining versioned datasets throughout the case lifecycle
- Lack of flexibility in map layouts, editable fields, search methods, and symbology
- Need for stronger data and application-level security
- Fragmented tools that forced users to switch between multiple screens
- Need for a scalable administrator framework
Solution
Our GIS team delivered a comprehensive modernization and enhancement of the Ministry’s Land and Cadastral Information ecosystem, including:
Platform Upgrade and System Enhancement
- Upgraded ArcGIS infrastructure to ArcGIS 10x, ensuring compatibility with modern Esri technologies
- Migrated survey parcels to Parcel Fabric for advanced data versioning and topology management
- Consolidated all LIS/CIS functionalities into a single unified window for ease of use
Spatial Data and Workflow Management
- Enabled creation and updates of cadastral, administrative boundaries, policy plans, and design layers
- Managed end to end case workflows aligned with the Ministry’s job tracking system
- Provided versioning workflows synchronized with case tracking, including automated handling of case versions
Mapping and Visualization Capabilities
- Tools to generate policy maps, zoning regulation maps, permit approval maps, and multi agency overlays
- Customizable symbology, layout templates, and map configurations
- Advanced and high clarity map plotting for internal and external use
Security and Administration
- Implemented 3 tier security for application and data access
- Designed a powerful administrator module to manage layers, edit rules, labels, symbology, and layouts
- Enabled flexibility to modify data layers, editable fields, search methods, and configuration parameters
- Managed at data, application, and task levels via a robust user management system
User Experience Enhancements
- Built simple, intuitive user privileges workflows allowing multiple tasks through the same tool
- Streamlined interfaces for fast navigation, minimal clicks, and improved productivity
Impact
- Modernized Geospatial Infrastructure: Improved performance, stability, and capability through ArcGIS 10x upgrade
- Unified Operations: All LIS/CIS functionalities accessible from one platform, eliminating tool fragmentation
- Consistent & Accurate Cadastral Data: Parcel Fabric migration ensured reliable versioning and error-free spatial data
- Faster Case Processing: Automated version management and workflow alignment reduced manual overhead
- Better Planning & Governance: High-quality policy, zoning, and permit maps made decision-making faster and more transparent
- Enhanced Security & Compliance: Multi-tier security and granular privilege management strengthened data governance
- Improved User Productivity: Intuitive tools and flexible configurations enabled faster editing, searching, and mapping tasks
