Integration of Geospatial data of UAVs in Cadastral Management System and Regularization of Illegal Occupations in Informal Settlements

Abstract: To avoid illegal occupation of people in areas where construction is forbidden and the development of informal settlements, municipal authorities must anticipate city planning. The implementation of layouts and cadastral plans, plays a broad range of uses in: taxation, land development, land registration, urban planning and design of infrastructure necessary to improve the living conditions of the population. This paper aims to demonstrate that, the integration of images of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is an alternative solution to the production of cadastral maps. These images, combined with modern tools such as STDM, for recording and securing the land rights of people living in informal settlements where 36.73% of people have provisional allocation certificates given by the local authorities and 19.39% have any official document proving their land occupation status.  These images will allow the authorities in charge of urban and land issue to avoid the proliferation of these unhealthy human settlements.
