Land Assessment Survey
Land Assessment Survey with GIS Application for Land Asset Management
Project Overview
LGEOM conducted a comprehensive land assessment survey for Nayara Energy Limited, encompassing approximately 750 hectares of land in the Jamnagar district of Gujarat. The project involved the integration of UAV, DGPS, and GIS technologies to create a detailed land record, including physical land surveys, structure and plant mapping, underground pipeline surveys, and the digitization of land records. A custom GIS application was developed to facilitate land asset management, visualization, and analysis.
Project Objectives
The primary objectives of the project were to:
- Conduct a detailed land survey to establish accurate land boundaries and property lines.
- Create a comprehensive GIS database for effective land asset management.
- Develop a GIS application to support land-related decision making and analysis.
- Integrate land records with government land data for legal and regulatory compliance.
- Provide a platform for efficient land asset tracking and valuation.
Project Scope
The project encompassed the following key activities:
- Data Acquisition: UAV and DGPS surveys, along with data collection from government records.
- GIS Data Creation: Processing of survey data into digital maps and layers.
- GIS Application Development: Design, development, and implementation of a custom GIS application for land asset management.
- Data Integration: Integration of various data sources, including land records, cadastral data, and property information.
- Land Asset Management: Creation of a land asset register with attributes such as ownership, area, land use, and valuation.
- Spatial Analysis: Conducting spatial analysis to identify land use patterns, property values, and potential development opportunities.
Project Challenges and Solutions
The project encountered several challenges, including:
- Data Accuracy and Consistency: Ensuring the accuracy and consistency of data from various sources, including UAV imagery, DGPS surveys, and government records. Solutions included rigorous data validation, quality control checks, and data cleaning processes.
- Terrain Variability: Addressing challenges posed by diverse terrain conditions, such as vegetation, water bodies, and urban areas. This was overcome through detailed field surveys, ground control point establishment, and the use of advanced image processing techniques.
- Data Volume: Managing and processing large volumes of data efficiently. Data compression, optimized database structures, and cloud-based storage solutions were implemented to handle the data effectively.
- GIS Application Development: Balancing user requirements with technical feasibility and constraints. Iterative development, user testing, and feedback incorporation were essential in addressing this challenge.
- Integration with Existing Systems: Aligning the GIS application with Nayara Energy Limited's existing systems and workflows required careful planning and customization. APIs and data exchange formats were used to facilitate integration.
Project Outcomes and Impact
The successful completion of the project resulted in:
- A comprehensive land information system with detailed land records and spatial data.
- A GIS application tailored for land asset management with functionalities for query, analysis, and visualization.
- Enhanced land management capabilities through effective data management and analysis.
- Improved decision-making for land-related activities, such as property valuation, land use planning, and facility location.
- A foundation for future land management initiatives and projects.
Key Performance Indicators
The project's success was measured through the following KPIs:
- Accuracy of the generated land survey data and maps.
- Completeness of land asset data within the GIS application
- Efficiency of land asset management processes
- User satisfaction with the GIS application and its functionalities
- Overall project delivery within the specified timeline and budget (project completed within budget and two weeks ahead of schedule).
Conclusion
The land assessment survey with GIS application development has successfully delivered a robust land asset management system for Nayara Energy Limited. By addressing challenges through effective planning, data management, and technological solutions, the project has created a valuable tool for land management and decision-making. The GIS application has empowered users with the ability to analyze land data, identify opportunities, and optimize land utilization.
