Land management infrastructure for green and sustainable development

Prospective

The proposed project will support the further updating of Turkiye’s cadastre in digital format, and complete the process of establishing an accurate cadastre nationwide. The project will further develop an accurate and comprehensive buildings inventory for almost all urban areas in the country through an innovative approach – the creation of 3D City Models – by scaling up the Amasya province pilot activities. The complexity of urban areas means that a two-dimensional cadastre and land registration system no longer adequately serves the needs of land administration and urban renewal. As a result of 3D city modelling, public bodies and others will be able to access accurate information about buildings and property units in them as they actually exist, contributing accurate datasets to the NSDI on parcels, land rights and obligations, land uses, and public restrictions. City models of this nature are needed for sustainable development, mitigating the climate change impacts and improving adaptation to climate change and resilience to disaster events, urban transformation, and economic growth. Furthermore, the project will support TKGM in its mandate to develop a property value information center and mass appraisal systems for property valuation, which will enable Turkiye to increase the yield from property taxes and relieve fiscal pressure on local administrations and the national government. It will also make a major contribution to the development of a transparent and efficient property market by making market data more widely available to market participants. This in turn is expected to stimulate investment and enhance economic growth. The integration and interoperability of land administration and geospatial information that will also be supported will enable the development of systems that are customer-oriented and respond to the data needs of a variety of public and private stakeholders. The proposed interventions are in line with the priorities of the 11th National Development Plan and international best practices. The proposed project is also aligned with the World Bank Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Turkiye for FY18–FY21, which was extended to cover the FY22–23 period, contributing to Focus Area 3: Sustainability, including improved sustainability and resilience of cities. The proposed project will contribute to improving the seismic and broader disaster resilience of municipal buildings and infrastructure, by generating and making available accurate information about structures on the ground and their location. The project will generate new and improve existing land and building data along with the integrated spatial data management systems that are key for developing a more efficient property valuation system and more integrated spatial planning, making Turkiye better prepared to respond to natural disasters, helping to raise additional revenues, and supporting Turkiye’s ambitious climate agenda.
