Modelling of spatial planning systems with LADM standard: the case in Turkish regulatory planning system

AbstractSpatial planning includes various decisions that guide the formulation of land policies, such as planned urbanisation, environment-nature-culture protection, and safe agriculture. Land Administration Systems (LASs) should also include spatial planning decisions as they play a role in facilitating the implementation of land policies. In this study, the Turkish spatial planning system's role in the land administration is discussed. The paper presents the necessity of designing and standardising the spatial planning system as data model. This data model design includes not only spatial plan decisions but also documents that guide spatial planning and land development decisions caused by planning. Therefore, this study aims to present a standardised model of the Turkish spatial planning system and the land use rights, restrictions and responsibilities established by spatial plans. Designing spatial planning system information as a conceptual data model within the Land Administration Domain Model is expected to support land administration system-based improvements.Keywords: Ladm second editionspatial planningintegrated land administration systemslegal space standardizationland developmentRRRs Additional informationNotes on contributorsOkan YılmazOkan Yılmaz is a PhD student at Yıldız Technical University and a research assistant at the same University’s faculty of construction.
