What is it about?

Land management in Asia faces various spatial challenges, which can be evaluated, monitored and redesigned through smart geospatial technologies. This chapter reviews the practical connections between land management and spatial planning and discusses how geospatial data and technologies can contribute to make these fields smart. It takes the new capital of Indonesia, IKN, as case study to discuss how a new city design and development can be smart from the onset.

Why is it important?

Technologies change fast, and it often remains unclear which ones are available and which ones can be used how. This article aims to make an overview of these for the purpose of making visible how can which technologies be used on spatial planing and land management activities. This is relevant for learners, decision makers, politicians, practitioners and researchers. .

Perspectives

Regularly making overviews of technologies is important to understand how new opportunties may arise in land management and spatial planning. In the Asian landscape where property and industrial developments are changing fast, new technologies can be helpful to find better and smarter solutions in the design as well as in the assessment of impacts.
