📋 Tender Overview
Project ID: P172945
Region: South asia
Commitment Amount: Us$ 150.00 million
Total Project Cost: Us$ 150.00 million
The proposed project will have four main components and tentatively cost up to US$150 million. The four key areas that the project aims to achieve are: (i) provision a cadastral map linked to digital land records; (ii) improved tenure security and access to land for housing; (iii) a unified modern land information system ; and (iv) strengthened capacity and regulatory framework. 13.Component 1: Digital Land Records and Cadastral Maps for LRMIS. This component would develop a seamless cadastral map and link to digital land records for the Province of Punjab based on existing revenue maps and orthorectified, high-resolution imagery. As a first step for mapping, geodetic control points would be installed to establish a common reference system of all mapping products. Base maps would be generated to provide fundamental geographical details necessary to conduct cadastral surveying and subsequent mapping. Those geospatial products would be accessible to a broader community to leverage the use of geospatial data for a wide variety of decisions, which would contribute to National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) initiatives of a nationally consistent spatial framework in Pakistan. The revenue maps would be scanned and available in digital form and be converted to vector form and georeferenced to the national coordinate reference system. Existing digital land registry records and parcel maps that were created by public development authorities and private development agencies and shared with PLRA would be compilated, validated and integrated to asingle database in LRMIS. Field verification would be needed in areas, especially where there have been significant changes or where legacy paper maps are not available. The digital cadastral maps would be validated through public display and following refinement, where required. The public would be informed, and proper measures for dispute mediation and resolution would be in place to ensure safeguards and protection for women and vulnerable people. In addition, this component would undertake systematic registration for those other lands that are not yet registered in areas of formal settlement. The new cadastral map would be linked to the land records in LRMIS, enabling the holding-based records5in LRMIS to be transformed into land parcel-based records.The land parcels to be subdivided6in accordance with landholding shares would be selected based on owner’s needs and careful criteria respecting tradition and social norms. Finally, the Deeds Registry records based on holdings would also be combined with the parcel-based recording.
