Although countries often have established procedures to register these relationships, typically, procedures involve outdated, costly and time-consuming workflows, and in many cases, re-quire workflow resources that are simply unavailable. The vital, underlying technology and standards to collect and manage the required data are complex and sometimes inaccessible, or if available, tools do not comply with adopted (inter)national standards. If we continue down this path, the registration of undocumented people-to-land relationships will take significantly more time and money than governments are willing to afford and be held responsible for. While each issue mentioned above presents a substantial challenge, it is only by addressing them holistically that a significant impact can be obtained. Using the post-conflict Colombia as a pilot area and fit-for-purpose land administration as philosophy (FIG/World Bank, 2014; UN Habitat/GLTN/Kadaster, 2016), we have developed and tested a simplified, community-based, standards-compliant methodology and supporting technology, to register people-to-land relationships in a fast and economically viable way. A country cannot afford to be non-compliant with the ISO’s 19152 standard, which defines a reference land administration model (LADM). Its adoption, however...
