Digitizing Land Records in Baidoa, Somalia
Learn how Hoori Property Development used exact digitization methods and high-resolution satellite photos to change land mapping in Baidoa Region, Somalia.


Client & Project Overview
Hoori Property Development, a prominent entity in Somalia, embarked on a mission to modernize land records and mapping processes in the Baidoa Region. The project aimed to transition from traditional paper-based records to a digital mapping system, leveraging high-resolution satellite imagery for accurate and efficient land management.

Hoori Property Development faced the challenge of digitizing building footprints and plot boundaries across the Baidoa Region. Key requirements included procuring high-quality satellite imagery, ensuring accurate geo-referencing, and extracting features from the imagery. The digitization process needed to capture both building footprints and plot boundaries accurately, despite potential obstacles such as canopy cover and shadows.
To address the client's needs, we proposed the implementation of the Land Acquisition Management System (LAMS), a comprehensive solution tailored to digitize land records and mapping features. LAMS offered a user-friendly interface and seamless integration with satellite imagery. The methodology involved identifying the area of interest, procuring high-resolution satellite imagery, orthorectification, and geo-referencing. Feature extraction and digitization were carried out to capture building footprints and plot boundaries accurately.


- Digitization Accuracy: LAMS facilitated the accurate digitization of building footprints and plot boundaries, ensuring a reliable digital map of the Baidoa Region.
- Efficient Process: Leveraging satellite imagery and automated digitization processes, Hoori Properties streamlined the mapping process, reducing time and effort required for manual digitization..
- Enhanced Decision-Making: The digitized map provided valuable insights for decision-making, enabling stakeholders to visualize land features and assess development opportunities effectively.
- Cost-Effective Solution: LAMS offered a cost-effective approach for digitizing land records, eliminating the need for extensive field surveys and manual data entry.
- Future Scalability: Integrated into their system, LAMS provided scalability and flexibility to accommodate future expansions and updates to the digital map.
