Abstract—Land is measure of wealth, status and power.
India is a predominantly anagriculturaleconomyandnow it
is rapidly transforming into an industrialized economy
because of which it is suffering from urban overcrowding,
unlimited exploitation of precious natural resources like
land are being put to enormous strain, screaming forproper
management. But India do not have an efficient Land
Management System which covers detailed information of
each aspect. Land records maintained manually have
different formats and use different terms to convey same
information. Therefore, there is need to develop a uniform
terminology and generalized database scheme for land
records. Efficiency in land management gives the overall
idea of a nation’s developmental status. GIS deals with
spatial data collection, storage, management, retrieval,
conversion/changing, analysis, modeling, and display
information about the features that make up the Earth’s
surface. It can decrease the cost and time of the decision
makers and planners in arranging the data in reaching the
accurate conclusion. GIS is a tool that can beeffectivelyused
for better visualization and spatial analysis applications.

1. INTRODUCTION
Land is measure of wealth, status and power. Any
developmental activity is almost can't take place without
taking land into consideration.Therefore, efficiencyinland
management gives the overall idea of a nation’s
developmental status. India having 29 States and 7 Union
Territories and each state has been divided into Districts
and then to Villages and so on. There is Land, which
belongs to Government, land which is Private Property,
land which is totally unused. As population grows,
infrastructure tends to grow and property value starts
increasing. The family disputes in villages make more and
more divisions on the land. So keeping Land Records has
become a necessity. Also India is a predominantly an
agricultural economy and now it is rapidly transforming
into an industrialized economy because of which it is
suffering from urbanovercrowding,unlimitedexploitation
of precious natural resources like land are being put to
enormous strain, screaming for proper management. But
India do not have an efficient Land Management System
which covers detailed information of each aspect. Due to
Lack of proper land records management, poor records
keeping and inefficient judiciary has resulted in a high
demand of a system that keeps the accurate record of
lands, Records of right ownership and makesitavailablein
time. Land records maintained on paper or cloth has
preservation, updating and retrieval problems.
Computerization is natural solution for all theseproblems.
And Geographical Information System (GIS) technology
provides municipal governments with extraordinary
quantitative and qualitative benefits. GIS solution is the
need of the hour taking into consideration the voluminous
information that needs to be made available to various
decision makers invariousdepartments.GIStool integrates
non-spatial and spatial datasets for query and better
display.
1.1 Land Record Management
Geographic information system (GIS) is a computer based
system that deals with spatial data collection, storage,
management, retrieval, conversion/changing, analysis,
modeling, and display information about the features that
make up the Earth’s surface. It provided the potential for
mapping and monitoring the spatial extent of the built
environment and the associated land use/ land cover
changes. Gathering of basic informationistheprimarystep
in taking the proper decision in developmental activitiesof
the study areas. The basic information can be obtained by
different methods like field surveys, aerial surveys,Census
of India. The information necessary to make available all
kinds of data related to the village, easily and concisely for
planning at micro- level. This information system will be
helpful for planners, academicians, geographers, decision
makers and government officers. The emergence of
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System as a
powerful tool for spatial analysis and storage has in effect
alleviated the problem by computerization of the spatial
data. GIS is a tool that can be effectively used for better
visualization and spatial analysis applications. The GIS
technology can decrease the cost and time of the decision
makers and planners in arranging the data in reaching the
accurate conclusion.

1.2 Study Area for Land Record Management
Khochivade village is located in Vasai Tehsil of Palghar
district in Maharashtra, India. It is situated 3km away from
sub-district headquarter Vasai. As per 2009 stats,
Khochivade village is also a gram panchayat. The total
geographical area of village is 149.99 hectares. Khochivade
has a total population of 2,219 peoples with 50.83% males
and 49.17% females. There are about 476 houses in
Khochivade village.
2. Methodology
The methodology adopted in the study can be described in
the following steps.
 Collection of spatial and attribute data of
khochivade village.
 Plot-wise land use map is prepared and attributes
were assigned for every plot with full ownership
and built-up information using grass GIS
 For case study area develop land record
management model using grass GIS.
 Run queries on the model for immediate and ready
extraction of information through Web.
3. Integration of GIS map and spatial data
Taluka Inspector of Land Records in Vasai Taluka keeps all
the spatial data of lands. Map of KhochivadeVillege of
vasaitaluka were provided by the Taluka inspector, which is
considered for this study.
3.1 Generation of GIS Map of Study Area
The scanned copy of study region (Khochivade village). In
this map, there are 81 plots.
5.2. Digitization of village Map
Khochivade Village Map is digitized in Q GIS software and
then database are added. Different types of database are
developed in with the help of this software. These databases
are being used to run the different types of query.
5.3 Preparation of database:
The data collected for all the plots is digitized. It includes all
the attribute data:
 Survey No, Sub-survey No
 Total area in acres/hectares
 Owner name
 Account book No.
 Akarani
 Name of crop
 Area of cultivation
 Hydrous, anhydrous
 Season of crop

5.4. QGIS for land record management:
For better visualisation and spatial analysis GIS can be used
effectively. One of the most common products of a GIS is a
map. They are often the most effective means of
communicating the results of the GIS process. Therefore,the
GIS is usually a prolific producer of maps.
5.5. Running Queries
Queries are then run to get the desired information fromthe
database. GIS applications are tools that that enable clients
to create interactive queries, analyzespatial informationand
present the results of all these operations. Different Queries
will be run in QGIS after integrating with the spatial and
attributes data. Theyieldsof differentinquirieskeeprunning
in the Vector Analysis Module of QGIS are appeared as
follows:

 Query 1:Show Plots whose sub survey no is 12-1-A
Utility: From this query, all the plots recorded whose sub
survey no 12-13 can be identified. Attributes related to the
plot like, owner of the land, area, location, taxation details
etc. can be collected. Therefore, it becomes easier for land
records department to handle the records of land.

Fig. 6. Result of query 2
Utility: From this query, all the plot whose account book no
is 104 is identified. Attributes related to the plot like, owner
of the land, area, location, taxation details etc. can be
collected. Therefore, it becomes easier for land records
department to handle the records of land.
Conclusion
In this paper, an adaptable and easy to understand data
framework on GIS stage utilizing QGIS programming was
produced to help planners, administrators, land managers
and common public for village level planning with reference
to managing the records the lands of Khochivade village.
Development of GIS model included digitization and geo
referencing of village map, extensive survey and interaction
on ground in order to obtain attribute data, integration of
the geo referenced map with the attribute data and its
application in land records management by running various
queries. GIS solution is the need of the hour taking into
consideration the voluminous information that needs to be
made available to various decision makers in various
departments. For this, Re-survey of lands with the help of
GPS and linking of its attribute data with the cadastral
maps/village maps through GIS should be taken up Timely
and easy access to accurate information on land records will

facilitate easier, faster and more effectivedecisionmaking.It
will benefit all the stake holders including land owners,
planners, policy makers and land administrators by the
improved, effective and efficient methodology of land
records
