DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
National Integrated Cadastre System (NICS) is a web-based cadastral system that provides integrated land information. The platform offers information on real estate owners, restrictions, easements, property transactions and visual representations on a digital cadastral map. Notably, the system provides public services such as obtaining information on real estate. Additionally, it provides analytics of the real estate market of municipal property.
TechnologyTechnology used by the initiative.
NICS is a web-based application. Users can log in to the system and search for certain parcels and address based on input they provide. For spatial parcel and address search NICS displays a cadastral map that integrates base maps and relevant geographic data layers from OpenStreetMap and Google Map through their Application Programming Interfaces which allows the NICS to incorporate up-to-date base geographic data. The information system might not be accessible from some locations.
TargetUsers, groups, or communities targeted by the initiative.
The main users of Food Security Atlas are government entities, private sector, and general public. General public can obtain information on real estate ownership, restrictions, easements, and property transactions can access public services provided by NICS. Government entities use data from NICS or regulatory purposes, land management, and spatial planning. Private sector entities use NICS for detailed property data and market analytics.
Business modelHow the initiative delivers and sustains its value.
Users can access the NICS freely, although some services may require payment.
ImpactThe observed or intended effects of the initiative.
