LIS AND LUMIS FRAMAWORK
FRAMEWORK OF LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM
Land is the most valuable ownership to human being. It is important vale to any country.
Without land there would be land, there is no exist of a country. A country with a stable and
strong economy, are rely on land and its uses. Land information is important to be able to make a
land development, investment and ,management in order to make a decision (Ndukwe E.
Chiemelu, 2013). In towns and cities, lands should be managed with local policy and
management to serve both present and future generation (Elżbieta Zyska, 2020). Today land use
polices become one of the most important manner to government because they wants to manage
land uses issues in sustainable development such as policy making, governance activities, legal
decision and administrative activities such as, land use cover, urban and landscape planning, land
management, monitoring and appropriateness taxations (Zhongping Zenga, 2018)
Land information systems (LIS) is a system that it is completely helpful to manage a
complicated data of all kinds of spatial, technical, administrative legal, eco-nomic and social
information (Conference Review Growing importance of LIS , 1985). The system is 3D land
systems which remote sensing survey. The system also known as geospatial information
communication technology (Geo-ICT) which provide enormous benefits for land use
management and policy making (Zhongping Zenga, 2018). LIS is a geographic information
system for both cadastral land use mapping that include a precise current reliable land record
(Compass Informatics, 2020). LIS is a governmental tool for land economic decision,
administrative, and development that contain of land database location to classify land areas and
method for the organized data collection , updating, processing and distribution of the data
(Ndukwe E. Chiemelu, 2013). The system is very important for all develop countries to be able

to computerized all of the land geographical information system and geographical data base
(Ibraheem, 2012). The system supports the process of land information within the government
sectors or other organizations across the country. The system handles important information
about land parcels such as utilities, transportation, infrastructure, and facilities. The system adjust
how government operate and take decision. In addition, the system consists of layer of mapping
the provide data such as land ownership, roads, bridges, buildings, lake and river, counties, or
districts as illustrated in Figure 1 (Ibraheem, 2012).
Figure 1 Example of Mapping data layering (Ibraheem, 2012).
The LIS components consist of GIS or the other way around. The typical LIS involves of
the cadaster as the main components, tacking land ownership, parcel-oriented, representational
hard copy map in both in AutoCAD or GIS format, large cartographic scale in 1:14800 for rural
areas, and 1:1200 in for developed areas, bridges between legal and technical land description
and other technologies such as parcel index system that relate to data base management,
surveying, and imagining system. In addition to the above components the system contains two
multipurpose components. First is the multipurpose cadaster that can recognize the limitation in

manual system and recommended automated methods for managing land record with connecting
to others spatial data. Second is the multipurpose land information system that contain alternative
cadaster, parcels as one components of layer-based system, adjusted to combination and analysis
of data, reference framework as organizing standards (Ventura, 2000).
Another essential system is the Land Use and Management Information System (LUMIS)
that will gather and organized information about land management practice which will offer how
to manage lands when and where is the best time to make a change. The system will support land
management practice information to collect different level of details and mapping scale as well
as it will include practical detail description for spatial testing and data collection (Sciences,
2006) The system will support an advance level of land use planning that will enhance the
efficiency of the daily work, strengthen the standard of land -use planning management (He-bing
Zhang, 2010). In addition, the system will be beneficial toward new investment data impact,
historical and spatial information, and reference maps of the key management practice categories
(Sciences, 2006).
The LUMIS has t two separated date type that is classify as nominal and ordinal data.
The nominal date refers as graphically located political information which relate individual
house and street address while the ordinal data refer using the latitude and longitude. For clarity
distinguish between both date the LUMIS provide a clear method that combine all street address
date for a political graphically use while for the nominal label zones are recognize by the X and
Y coordinates. The process goes through producing files that contain both nominal and ordinal
data which LUMIS recognize and convert all the data loaded into graphic edit. Later the graphic
edit allows for the modification all the insert data then the file passed through a Chain and Rotate
programs. First the Rotate program producing a geographical true X and Y reference file from
4

the digitalized coordinate reference to any standard map system while the chain program
combines the line segments by organize locations around political and other locations (Nevin
Bryant, 1976).
For example, the Department of Agriculture, Walter and the Environmental in Australia
Government has applied the LUMIS system to their land management mapping practice to
provide a clear overall image of how they are managing landscape and where is the change being
made. The way the system works is that as currently there are different management action of
collecting data about landscape but with the LUMIS system a number of standardized categories
that will going to be unified throughout the country so the mapping categories can be reviewed
and managed practically.
In conclusion, the mapping program are initial around the world especially for the
develop countries because the programs and measurements that are manipulated by local or
national governments are reliable with the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals
(Elżbieta Zyska, 2020). Today, land information is very essential for many public users and
programs such as land planning, infrastructure and maintenance,, environmental protection,
emergency services, social service, land market, development and other economic activities
(Ventura, 2000) Thus, the program system provide and support all of the necessary date for the
governmental, stakeholder and public use if needed.

Since the adoption of land use management information systems and land information
systems in Saudi Arabia over 30 years ago. The country has witnessed significant and notable
improvements in terms of land use and land management since the government started to
incorporate the various land monitoring and management techniques in land administration in
1983(Hallett et al, 2017). The framework of these two crucial land administrative techniques has
eminently enhanced the use of land, specifically in Makkah and Al-Taif regions, between 1987
to 2014 (Ain, 2017). The successful application on the framework implementation of the land
use management information system was boosted by the availability of stable land information
and the use of modern technologies such as Landsat images systems and robust Geo-informatics
systems GIS.
Land use management information system implementation in the Arabian land
management system was timely. It was fundamental in addressing the global environmental land
use challenges such as illegal deforestation, overexploitation of vegetation, and unnecessary
clearance of land cover posing adverse climatic conditions in the regions of such illegal
activities. Through close remote monitoring on how land and vegetation cover are used within
the country, enable the authorities to realize the danger zones hence deploy appropriate measures
to safeguard land integrity, therefore promoting land value and sustainability. In 1984, Geo-
informatics statistics showed that Saudi Arabian was 70% predominantly desert (Phelps and
Kaplan, 2017). Currently, the narrative has changed as Saudi Arabia is considered as the top
country that has successfully implemented land management and administrative techniques
(LIS/LUMIS) to boost its settlement expansion in the entire Middle East. The success of the land
use management system is supported by tremendous environmental changes such as land cover
and climatic systems, landscape ecology, and improved hydrological processes.

Land use and management information systems provide a multi-temporal data systems
that are of 9importance in better interpretation and understanding of the complex land cover and
land use patterns. The LUMIS provides up to date information about land cover changes through
the use of improved quality image extraction systems by repetitively capturing land mages by
use of satellite, hence providing valuable real-time information and assistance to farmers and
land administrators. One the other hand land information system has enhanced a provided a
reliable technical foundation that supports land-use decision making across a wider range
application on natural resources such as agronomic, engineering, environmental and public
goods within Saudi Arabia. Lis provides a framework that allows a combination of land surface
models, resources, and computing tools with relevant data to enable a clear understanding of
regional land use (Haggerty et al. 2018). In its basics, LIS constitutes a robust respiratory
database of relevant georeferenced resources and materials such as meteorological observations,
satellite imagery, and legacy mapping systems.
In Saudi Arabia, there is perfect integration between land information systems,
geographic information systems, and land use and management information systems, thus
offering elaborate and explicit information about land use and land cover. GIS is crucial in LIS
as it offers the technological work frame for the development of land use information and the
basis for interpreting remote sensing imagery. However, the GIS systems also cannot operate on
its own since the development of real-time data on any piece of land, and it depends on the
information obtained and analyzed by the LIS department. Land information systems give a
foundation for a varied range of thematic environmental applications with a given geographical
context (Alqurashi and Kumar, 2014). The country's agricultural sector has advanced in the last
decade due to the application of LUMIS and LIS in combination with GIS. These three systems

use a varied range of geoprocessing and modeling techniques to assess the combined land
resources to establish land suitability to support what kind of vegetation and crops. Therefore
giving farmers reliable information that is very detrimental in agricultural planning and crop
cultivation, hence boosting farming activities. The application of modeling techniques provides
information and prediction on environmental changes that are associated with the inventory and
survey or real-time monitoring statistics such as the likelihood of soil nutrient degradation
(Cowie et al, 2018). Another implication of land modeling techniques is that it explores and
gives the likely effects of the behavioral response and fate of any component in the soil and the
impacts of the predicted change in climate and how the change affects the soil composition. In
summary, the land information system and land use management information system success
depends on the input of other dependent systems and stakeholders, as illustrated in the figure
below.

In conclusion, land information systems and land use management systems are
fundamental in providing timely and purposeful land and environmental information drawn from
related soil thematic data to provide useful and insights on land management, capability, and
properties. The harmonic integration of the LIS, LUMIS, and GIS by the department of land has
enabled tremendous development and improvement in Saudi Arabian land utilization in the past
35 years. Land information management system has provided Arabian state departments with the
relevant information that has enhanced the land resource management and Arabians farmers with
relevant and reliable information on land properties hence serving as a crucial tool in agricultural
decision-making processes.

Land use and management information system has been of great importance to Saudi
Arabian land and resource management since its adoption over 30 years ago. LUMIS provides
critical information that support decision-making processes, therefore translates to proper land
resources utilization of all the available land resources such as land building rental and leasing,
forestry production and agricultural planning
