Integrated Land Information System for National Compensation Office
Customer: National Compensation Office
Duration: 1991-1995.
Product Description: transition of the Hungarian society and economy has brought many changes, and one of the most important is the process that aims at building a market economy. A private ownership based market economy cannot exist without valid, correct and up-to-date property registry. One important means of the ownership transition is the compensation for people who were restricted in their freedom or suffered a loss in the former regime in Hungary from 1939. The compensated people get coupons for the privatisation or - only for the originally compensated persons - for auction of arable lands.
The arable land auctions for the compensated people involves a total of 2,5 million hectares (6,1 million acres) which is 30% of the total arable land of the country. By now 2,2 million hectare land has been auctioned for cca. 300.000 people, and 530 000 properties have been created.
The state property registry has not been ready for serving marketing of properties in a market economy system with many participants. That's why the registrations of ownership in these great many cases are late. It causes many additional problems.
The ILIS (Integrated Land Information System) has been developed for helping the process of change in land ownership.
The GIS based system contains the geographical data and the owners' information on UNIX platform. ORACLE, Arc/Info, Arc/View tools were used to build the application.
It can be used to retrieve single data, make analysis, and a special subsystem can support the administrative process of the registration.
There are a number of demands for the extension of the system. One is to promote the progress of the agricultural use of the land, by providing vital information for further agricultural development. The other is monitoring the land use, and supporting local governments and farmers with information and expertise.

Possible Target Industry:

Platforms: supported by Oracle and Arc/Info and Arc/View
