Digital color orthophotos give valuable information
to Buffalo City Municipality |
The Mayor of Buffalo City, Mr. Sindisile Maclean, receives
the first scene of the delivery by Mr. Christer Kjörneberg,
Swedesurvey. |
The project is a turn key delivery and includes hardware,
software and a full coverage of high resolution orthophotos
of the Municipal land area. The new municipal boundary
for Buffalo City extend over 2500 square kilometre and
the dataset comprises of more than 360 digital colour scenes
with a resolution of 0.25 M.
The orthophotos will be very useful to get information about the rural
and semi-urban areas, where little data is found currently. They will also
be included in the GIS Intranet and combined with the geodata already available,
they will constitute a most valuable source of information. The project has
been financed by Buffalo City and Sida on a cost sharing basis. The services
have been carried out by technical professional personnel from Swedesurvey.
The aerial photography was carried out using the recourses at Swedesurvey's
regional office in Johannesburg/Port Alfred and the digital orthophoto mapping
has been produced at Swedesurvey's head office in Sweden. |

to the establishment of a Land Market in the Republic of
Armenia (RoA). The project was called "The Development
of the Cadastral System in Armenia" and the actual work
started in the spring of 2000. The project components included
land consolidation, aerial photograhpy, geodesy, digital
cadastral index maps, valuation, training and study tours
to Sweden.
The cooperation with the responsible authorithy in the Republic of Armenia,
the State Committee of the Real Property Cadastre (SCC) has been smooth and
fruitful and both parties are interested to continue the works. A second phase
is just about to start and will be finalised in 2006. The continous support
will focus on Land and Real Property Registration. It will also include geodesy
(first order network), land consolidation, valuation, training and study tours.
Sida (the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) is financing
the project.
The first input of the second phase will be a seminar and workshop on
registration in Yerevan April 10-11 with representatives from the SCC, the
World Bank, UNDP and Swedesurvey. |
