Forty-nine Ashtech MobileMapper 6
GPS/GIS field terminals have been purchased by two key Republic of Kosovo
agencies, the Kosovo Property Agency (KPA) and the Kosovo Cadastre Agency
(KCA), to map property boundaries to help resolve private property claims. While the KPA is specialized in
solving property and juridical conflicts, the KCA on the other hand needs to
collect GIS attributes associated with meter-accuracy positions for the local
cadastral offices.
Following Serbian occupation more than 20,000 property
claims requiring legal confirmation have been filed by returning war refugees. The restoration of legal rights and physical possession of properties is
an essential form of redress to promote more
stable economic development and better conditions for Kosovo citizens.
The KPA is the main authority for
properties in Kosovo and is mandated to receive, register and help resolve
private property claims resulting from the armed conflict that occurred between
February 1998 and June 1999. With
offices in 30 townships in Kosovo, the KCA is the highest authority when it
comes to surveying, cadastre and mapping in Kosova.
Lorenco
& Co, the Ashtech dealer headquartered in Triana, Albania,
working with its partner, N.p.t Geokos in Pristina, sold, delivered and trained
KPA and KSA personnel to use the MobileMapper 6 handheld receivers. According to a spokesperson for Lorenco &
Co, the Ashtech units were selected by the Kosovo agencies for their
easy-to-use mobile mapping software, integrated camera, excellent price to
performance ratio, and Lorenco & Co’s good on-site product-training
support. For more information, visit
