Establishment of a Multi Purpose Cadastral Information
System (MCIS) in HEBEI Province in the Peoples Republic
of China
The Multi-Purpose Cadastral Information System (MCIS)
project was carried out by Hebei Bureau of Surveying and
Mapping (HBSM) in China, in close cooperation with the
Swedish counterpart, Swedesurvey. Within the project,
a pilot Multi Purpose Cadastral System was implemented
in a test area, in Xinji. The system includes information
about real property boundaries, unique parcel designations,
land users, land use planning, building and construction
regulations, roads, water, storm water and sewerage, etc.
The Hebei Government and Sida (previously BITS) have financed
the project. The first contract between HBSM and Swedesurvey
was signed in February 1995 (phase 1) and the second in
March 1997 (phase 2). The entire project was finalised
in June 1998.
The overall objective of the project was to develop knowledge
about and gain experience in setting-up a MCIS in a test
area in Xinji as well as to contribute with fundamental
information about land and real properties for the society.
The long-term objective of the project is that, if successful,
the project should serve as a model for the introduction
of cadastral systems in other parts of China.
 1. The accomplishment of the MCIS project and
achieved results
The project consisted of two phases. During the
first phase the project concentrated on the development
and setting up of a basic cadastral system which included
information about real property boundaries, unique parcel
designations, land users etc. The information in the system
comprises of graphical (digital maps) and attribute (register)
data and it provided facilities for collection, processing
and presentation of data. The system permitted a combined
presentation of both graphical and attributes (register)
data.
The phase entailed procurement of equipment and setting-up
technical facilities for a central station at HBSM in
Shijiazhuang used for development work and for running
of the system.
In Phase two, the project extended to other departments
and organisations for obtaining information about land
use planning, building and construction regulations and
supervision, roads, water, storm water and sewerage.
The test area for the entire project was located in Xinji
and is 10 sq. km in size. The area contains approximately
of 2300 parcels and covers 160 cadastral maps. A sub-station
has been established, at the Construction Committee in
Xinji, to serve the local organisations.
The project has been accomplished in an environment of
high efficiency. The adopted methodology can be roughly
described as follows: The Swedish team has through courses,
seminars, on-the-job-training and consultancy service,
carried out theoretical and practical training in various
MCIS-issues. In the next step, the Chinese counterpart
has, with the support of Swedish Experts, carried out
all different kinds of activities, eg., system development,
data capture, organisational development which was needed
for the implementation of the project.
 The comprehensive training and study visit programs were
accomplished in both Sweden and China. These training
programs involved technical as well as management issues,
aimed at increasing technical and management knowledge
of the Chinese experts and managers.
The MCIS project has created a system consisting of two
parts. One part is the graphical system where information
about a feature is described by determining its location
in a reference system, e.g., on a map or in a digital
database. The other part is the attribute data system
where the information about a feature is described in
written form. In MCIS, all information is digitally produced.
This will facilitate the use and access of information
that will be stored in the system.The creation and implementation
of a cadastral system consists of many different activities.
An overall description of MCIS is as follows:
- Establishment of a project organisation;
- Creation of a system for data capture of graphical
and attribute data;
- Creation of a system for storage of the information;
- Creation routines for maintaining the information,
including handbooks, quality control etc.;
- Involvement of users in the development of the systems;
- Creation of user applications;
- Establish security routines on how to protect the
information; and
- Education of producers and user.
All the activities that were accomplished in phase 1 and
2 are described in more details in a Final Report.
