Abstract

Objective: In recent decades, Iran has encountered significant challenges in land ownership, registration, and spatial management due to population growth and the expansion of land use. The coexistence of formal and informal registration systems, the diversity of cadastral documents, and the fragmentation of responsible institutions have emphasized the need for a unified and standardized data model.
Method: This study qualitatively examines the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) and its main packages and classes, analyzing their structure and relationships in relation to Iranian cadastral and legal frameworks. A preliminary feasibility analysis was conducted to evaluate the implementation of a national LADM profile for Iran, followed by outlining key implementation stages including profile scope, stakeholders’ involvement, and conceptual modeling.
Results: For each class and its fields, the relevant laws were extracted. The relationships, their cardinality, and several code lists were reviewed and customized based on national regulations to ensure semantic alignment with Iran’s legal and administrative context.
Conclusions: The findings highlight that the LADM framework can effectively support the modernization of Iran’s land administration system by enabling the integration of legal and spatial data within a harmonized structure, thereby enhancing transparency and promoting efficient land governance and combating corruption.
