This study aimed to apply Land Information Systems (LIS) technology to evaluate and plan the properties of the Gaza Strip lands by tracking changes in the spatial and relative distribution of properties using GIS applications. In addition to identifying the land plots that are considered the most suitable for future urbanization, study showed that there is a time series of legislation In which the ownership of the land was transferred and the land distribution of the land as it is now. The study showed the role of LIS as one of the most important branches of geographic information systems, which is the best technique used in property management and classification. study showed that the use of land information systems cannot be dispensed with because it contributes to making the right decision before allocating land by analyzing future needs and linking them to the change in property distribution. The study showed that the use of cartographic modeling to arrive at determining the appropriate vouchers to guide future urbanization is more efficient than traditional methods. study resulted in the preparation of a database on land ownership at the sector level. The total area of ​​the government lands until the end of 2018 was about 55.9 km2, the land of the citizens of 304.1 km 2 and the lands of the endowments 4.9 km 2 of the total area of ​​the Gaza Strip of 365 km 2 and the historical development of properties on maps Through the use of statistics and tables of the Land Authority to track the spatial change in vouchers and the reasons that contributed to the decline of government properties so quickly. recommends study need for good planning in the decision-making institutions for the allocation of land for expansion projects and taking into account the criteria of local allocations due to the limited planning area of ​​the study area, which is one of the highest densities of the population in the world.

Abstract Legal certainty is the traditional justification of land acquisitions by prescription in the Netherlands and elsewhere. However, as land information systems become more comprehensive and reliable, this justification increasingly loses its foundation. Only where a transfer is invalid despite a registered transfer deed, is this justification still fully persuasive. This article examines alternative justifications of land acquisitions by prescription and assesses whether the requirements for acquisitions by prescription under Dutch law already reflect these justifications. The owner's omission to monitor the use of the land is arguably a persuasive justification for the loss of ownership by prescription and is fully reflected by the requirement of 'possession'. However, it fails to explain why a possessor who knowingly occupies somebody else's land should become owner. This article proceeds to evaluate the labour theory, the personhood theory, the theory of human flourishing, and utilitarian approaches. These theories persuasively explain why a bad faith possessor should become owner, but are not reflected by Dutch law. As a last step, this article considers the reduction of wealth inequality as a justification of land acquisitions by prescription and concludes that tempting though this justification may be, prescription is not an adequate means to combat inequality.

Abstract Urbanization is one of the processes that determine the development of a country or a region, but it has both advantages and side effects. Some of its aspects may lead to unsustainable growth and dispersion of built–up area. The main causes of this process are increases in costs of transportation, infrastructure and nature conservation. There is a threat of uncontrolled spread of development as a result of urbanization processes, particularly in suburban municipalities. It has been requested by many researches that authorities put more interest in avoiding dispersed suburbanization, but they still are looking for better solutions, tools and procedures to solve this problem. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the important role of spatial information from land information systems in identifying and predicting the causes of the development of dispersed built–up areas. Thanks to GIS instruments local authorities are more likely to preserve spatial order and avoid the side effects of “sprawling”.
