A critical review of two textsA series of new technologies such as online services, mobile phones, GPS (Global Positioning System) and high-speed satellite images resolution have fundamentally changed the way spatial data is produced, used and shared. Voluntary Geographic Information (VGI) is a pragmatic approach to obtain free spatial data through citizen contributions. Although VGI has been applied in various disciplines, VGI practices have only just begun to be used in the land administration system. The heart of the land administration system is the cadastral system. Records the rights, restrictions and responsibilities of land parcels. There is a huge property gap in the world and current land administration systems are unable to bridge this gap. Population growth and urbanization, lack of financial resources and lack of sufficient numbers of professional land surveyors drive this gap into the abyss. This article will critically examine two articles written by Basiouka & Potsiou (2012) and Laarakker & Vries (2011) in order to investigate whether VGI is an alternative model for collecting and maintaining cadastral data or not. Laarakker & Vries (2011) conducted a survey to identify the potential strengths and concerns of VGI in the context of land administration among land professionals. The authors introduced the concept of OpenCadaster as an extension of VGI in the land administration sector. In this study, first, the main concerns about VGI and open system were excluded through the literature and then the ideas and opinions of professionals were collected through online discussion groups on LinkedIn and Wikimapia.org by asking this question: “Social media can have added value to the formal statutory cadastral systems that exist around the world... middle of paper... of the interest of this approach. On the one hand, this information could demonstrate that VGI is indeed new in the field of land administration. On the other hand, this may reveal that many experts in the field of land administration are not interested in this approach. All in all, current land administration problems are not automatically solved just by using VGI. There are many concerns without any regulated procedure. Therefore, all other potential solutions should be aware of the consequences of changing the frame. Works Cited Basiouka, S., & Potsiou, C. (2012).
