Project Goal
The Ras Al-Khaimah GIS Center team used a combination of software applications along with manual processes to carry out the work of recording and documenting the location and features of properties within the Emirate. Yet, the town’s processes for managing land records were not quite seamless with the challenges around the cadaster data management.Business Problem Solved
To improve the quality of land records, the GIS Center began modernizing using Esri’s ArcGIS Parcel Fabric solution. This technology allowed planners to create a registry, known as a parcel fabric, that forms the basis of the system for managing land records.
Ras Al-Khaimah’s GIS Center set five priorities as it established its new registry:
• Create and manage a unified parcel fabric with unique Parcel ID
• Improve the accuracy of land records
• Document and standardize operating procedures
• Transfer existing land and parcel data and records into the parcel fabric
• Train GIS Center staff to use and maintain the parcel fabric
The GIS Center used Esri’s ArcGIS Pro Advanced software to set up the system, which includes tools for tracking and managing parcel history. The system also includes automations for validating parcel data. Edits made to the parcel data become linked to a business record.
