DENR Land Information System

DAO 2010 – 18 dated June 23, 2011

entitled “Improving Management of Land Information Through the Adoption of the Land Administration and Management System (LAMS)”

Provides for automated LAM

Services The standard system for the computer

based land records management.

Provides immediate, consistent,

secure and reliable analysis and

reporting tools to aide all land related

decisions / transactions.

DENR LAND RECORDS DATA CAPTURE

Data Capture is a module of Lams Philippines where all relevant information on

existing approved survey, parcel and public land applications are captured, stored

and validated in preparation to load on LAMS Philippines live database.

Encoding

DENR’s Validation

and Acceptance

LAMS Philippines Operational Benefits

1. Increase efficiency, accountability and accuracy in land related transactions

Computerized verification and approval of surveys;

Built-in transaction tracking system (TTS) for more transparency in land transactions (i.e application status

and actions)

LAMS Philippines Operational Benefits

2. Improved access to land records

& information at reduced costs

to government, private & public

clients ;

3. Reduced land conflicts/disputes

brought about by erroneous,

overlapping or missing records;

4. Double titling are avoided

5. Improved land records;

management & maintain up-to-

date information through linkage

with other land info. systems;

6. Accurate land information to

LGUs to support their

resource/development planning

& tax mapping.

2. Digital Cadastral Database

(DCDB) Cleansing

Provides the basic and authoritative layers of

cadastre information with all parcels and political

boundary information covering a municipality,

city, or any political unit.

It also covers and provides land transaction

information and the recording of any property

rights and information. The DCDB also creates

different thematic layers on land uses, land

tenure status, and other themes used for better

land management, planning and decision

making.

Now requires geo-tagged photos of

applicants and parcels

3. E-surveyPlan as medium to online digital submission of survey returns

(for paperless verification) and online access to land records and

information – DAO 2016-01

An XML file

(DLSD)

LAMS Philippines IVAS

GIS/CAD application

database stores up to this number of

characters. “Unlimited” means no maximum length constraint for the

element value.

Data Value Constraint

The paragraph that describes the data value

constraint for the element.

Max Occur Maximum times a set of elements may be repeated. The maximum

occurrence is 1, if not specified.

DATA Type Constraints Each entry in the data type column of the tables will be one of these values

Data

Type Constraints

boolean Indicate a “true” value with either a “1” or the word “true.”

Indicate a “false” value with either a “0” or the word “false.”

A Boolean element may not have a null or blank value.

date

Must be of the format YYYY-MM-DD. A date element may not have a null or blank

value.

integer Only valid characters are 0-9. Cannot contain commas, a minus sign, a dollar sign, or

parentheses.

string Should be no longer than the prescribed length

Data Model and Relationships The elements of the XML file are classified and grouped according to the

following table definitions.

• Header

• Survey

• ResultantLot

• ResultantLotDetail

• MotherLot • MotherLotDetail

• Boundary

• BoundaryDetail

• AdjacentParcel

• Label

Every element or field is classified according to the Data Type, Optionality, Description and

Index information relating to other table in the dataset. Where tables are related, the fields

are referred by the FK (Foreign Key) of the related table to the PK (Primary Key) of the

main table. As discussed above, a single DLSD file may contain multiple Survey and Parcel definitions.

Codes for Region, Province, Municipality, and Barangay follow the coding standard set by

the Philippine Standard Geographic Code http://www.nscb.gov.ph/activestats/psgc/.

Issues and Challenges • Change Management and readiness of field

implementers- old habits die hard

• Impact of DCDB adjustment to Registration System –

current law will require court approval on changes

• Competition/Duplication of Efforts- everybody wants

their own set of Geospatial data

• Data sharing policy – FOI vs privacy

• Tenure Security = Title +++ (support and education)

Opportunities

• Accelerated nationwide titling of

residential lands – ( 3 to 6 million parcels)

• Maximize Geospatial Technology – One

Map for land and forest, use of drone

images for adjusting DCDB

• Upgrading to 3D cadastre

‘Anything worthwhile takes time ..’
