Abstract: Problems concerning the optimal use of land resources and improved land management are important all over the world. Since automation has greatly increased the ability to handle masses of data the challenge is to develop a good and comprehensive computer-based Land Information System (LIS). Information related specified land units is the cornerstone of Land Information System, since data concerning ownership and other property rights, boundaries, areas, land uses, market and assessed values, building, habitations, etc. are all interrelated. Land Information System is devoted to the problem of developing efficient information systems based on such land units and have proven knowledge of establishing Land Information System mainly based on experiences gained from integrating existing Cadastres, Land Register and Valuation Systems. This research paper aims to introduce a prototype Geometric Solution for Land Resource mapping and information management system as a tool for efficient property search and good utilization of resources.
