Secondary title: |
Spatial data infrastructure for land management in Africa - such as Ghana and Burkina Faso |
Secondary abstract: |
In the graduation thesis the importance of spatial data for land management in Africa is
presented, namely in Ghana and Burkina Faso. Firstly, the basic spatial data infrastructure in
Africa is presented, including the new African Geodetic Reference System in West Africa, the
establishment of which was associated with the eradication of the poverty since many of
objectives in this field are dependent on the maintenance of the qualitative spatial data. The
role of spatial data by solving development problems in Africa is presented based on selected
projects which have been implemented in the past in the study countries. In the field of
poverty reduction, many projects have been developed by international organizations (such as
Food and Agriculture Organization FAO, International Geodetic Association FIG, United
Nations Economic Commission for Europe UNECE, World Bank etc.) related to the
establishment and use of spatial data for this purpose, which is presented also in this thesis.
For the case of Ghana and Burkina Faso, more detailed state is presented, including the land
cadastre. For both selected African countries, the procedure of land purchase is presented to
illustrate and compare the real property registration systems. Furthermore, for Ghana the
summary of interview with the actor of the real property transaction procedure in this country
is given aimed to better understand the system of land registration and rights related to the
land. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
V diplomski nalogi je predstavljen pomen prostorskih podatkov pri upravljanju zemljišč v Afriki, in sicer v Gani in Burkini Faso. Najprej je predstavljena osnovna prostorska infrastruktura v Afriki, vključno z novim afriškim geodetskim referenčnim sistemom v Zahodni Afriki, vzpostavitev katerega je bila povezana z izkoreninjenjem revščine, saj so številni cilji na tem področju odvisni od vzdrţevanja kakovostnih prostorskih podatkov. Predstavljena je vloga prostorskih podatkov pri reševanju razvojnih problemov Afrike na primeru izbranih projektov, ki so se v preteklosti izvedli v študijskih drţavah. Na področju izkoreninjenja revščine so veliko projektov v povezavi z vzpostavitvijo in uporabo prostorskih podatkov, za ta namen pripravile mednarodne organizacije (Organizacija za prehrano in kmetijstvo FAO, Mednarodna geodetska zveza FIG, Gospodarska komisija zdruţenih narodov UNECE, Svetovna banka itd.), kar je predstavljeno tudi v nalogi. Za primer Gane in Burkine Faso smo nadalje podrobneje predstavili drţavno prostorsko podatkovno infrastrukturo, vključno z zemljiškim katastrom. Za obe izbrani afriški drţavi je za oris in primerjavo sistemov registracije nepremičnin podan postopek prodaje zemljišča. Pri Gani je dodan povzetek intervjuja udeleţenke postopka transakcije nepremičnine v tej drţavi za laţje razumevanje sistema registracije zemljišč in pravic na njih. |
