Land Information Systems

A Land Information System (LIS) is a geographic information system for cadastral and land use mapping, typically used by local governments. An LIS consists of an accurate, current and reliable land record cadastre and its associated attribute and spatial data that represent the legal boundaries of land tenure and provides a vital base layer capable of integration into other geographic systems or as a standalone solution that allows data stewards to retrieve, create, update, store, view, analyze and publish land information. Orbital Africa has developed many LIS for various clients in Kenya and Africa region at large. Here is a prototype example for Buruburu LIS in Nairobi, Kenya.
