It is well
known that most of the cadastral maps and property plans in Iraq are preserved
in paper form, with the majority dating back to the 1930s. These maps are
widely used for various purposes, such as urban planning, sewage networks, and
electricity networks. However, most of these maps suffer from some distortion
and wear, with some being torn and taped due to the nature of the paper
material and its handling, resulting in severe physical distortion. To address
these issues, it is necessary to convert these maps into a digital format and
perform corrective processing to mitigate the effects of past errors. Scanning
alone is insufficient as it introduces many errors. Recently, fast and accurate
computer software has become available that can process data from these maps
and paper drawings, including addressing the wear they have undergone, and
update them to meet the needs of local authorities developing and investing in
these maps and implementing development projects. This process is also
essential for establishing a digital foundation for the database. Geographic
Information System (GIS) applications are widely used to enhance and assist
decision-makers in making decisions that align with their purposes and
application scenarios.
