NETWORK
Academic Network
• The Academic Network is a coalition of recognized universities,
research and education centers or equivalent involved in the research,
development and training on geospatial and land information and related
matters.
• The Academic Network is a platform for the academic community to
contribute and support UN-GGIM in achieving its vision and goals and as a
strategic arm to empower their process in the form of strategic
knowledge, research, education and training,
• The Academic Network will provide both research and education
capabilities for UN-GGIM, its Regional Organizations, WGs and affiliated
members to identify and response to challenges and opportunities in which
UN-GGIM can achieve their visions.

Forum Outcome
unggim.academicnetwork.org
Connectivity
-Defining the responsibilities of different sectors.
-Education needs to transcend traditional boundaries of disciplines.
Sustainability
-We have limited time to achieve the SDGs, therefore, we need more global collaboration.
-Developing tangible frameworks.
Resilience
-Need for more initiatives for citizens and with citizens.
-Disaster risk reduction and minizine negative impact on city dwellers.
The SDGs Connectivity Dilemma: Urban Settlements,
Resilience, and Sustainability
Take-away Messages
unggim.academicnetwork.org
Precise positioning
Land Administration affect the SDGs
Measuring SDG indicators depend on SDI capabilities
IoTs
Be aware of what we see and be aware of what and how to map
Offer knowledge available to other sectors
Models are context dependent
From research to real-world impact
Data, information, and knowledge gaps
Complexity and Connectivity
Capacity building
Shift the world to people’s view
Tangible frameworks
Capacity development, training, and interdisciplinary collaboration
Open access SDIs
Visible SDIs
Changes in spatial distribution
Existing data is not always well connected
Increase access to information for sustainability
More megacities in less developed regions
Lack of data
Open Standards

CADASTRAL TEMPLATE 2.0 | UN-GGIM 2018, New York11
Origins and Characteristics
• Developed by a research team from CSDILA, The
University of Melbourne in 2003 and maintained ever since
• Support and data from PCGIAP/UN-GGIM-AP and FIG
delegates
• Regular updates mainly from FIG-Commission 7 delegates
• content:
• Descriptive Country Report (country context, institutional
framework, description of cadastral system, cadastral
mapping, reform issues)
• Basic Indicators
• New web design and maintained in since 2012, by CSDILA
with existing data structure.
CADASTRAL TEMPLATE 2.0 | UN-GGIM 2018, New York12
The Way Forward
• The University of Melbourne-CSDILA will continue
development and cooperation
• Close collaboration with the UN-GGIM Academic Network
• FIG-Commission 7 continues its support by providing
annual updates through their delegates (the cadastral
template data collection remains as a standing item in the
work plan).
• Planned extension in order to accommodate
indicators for SDGs
