MHADA set to implement GIS-based property mapping from new year
MHADA) is set to implement the final phase of work related to the Geographical Information System (GIS)-based asset and inventory management system that will help in managing the housing body's land and properties.
Sanjeev Jaiswal, Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of MHADA has directed concerned authorities to initiate the implementation of this system from the beginning of the new year.
According to Jaiswal, this system, based on GIS, would prove to be a boon for the future housing development projects and land management sectors of MHADA. This system will provide immediate access to information regarding the housing body's current land holdings, potential development on land, encroachments, reservations, and available vacant lands, empowering efficient land management.
The GIS-based asset and inventory management system will enable comprehensive surveys and assessments of various housing society properties in Mumbai and across the state through GIS mapping.
Moreover, satellite imagery will be used to capture accurate representations of structures on existing lands, facilitating precise instructions for site locations, along with the inclusion of satellite images acquired from satellites to enhance accuracy.
Jaiswal suggested expanding the scope of these directives by incorporating information on redevelopment projects covered under Regulation 33/5, 33/7, and 33/9, from inception to the current status and the future prospect of the project, into the system.
