Social Tenure Domain Model
Global Land Tool Network (GLTN)
STDM is a land administration tool designed to protect land tenure.
STDM is a plugin for the open-source software QGIS. It is a land management tool, designed to provide support in developing countries, where there is scarce land information coverage in poor urban areas, rural areas, or in conflict/disaster emergencies. Its purpose is to represent people-land relationships without legal, technical, or formal constraints.
The tool also allows including documents that support social tenures, such as photographs, videos, sketches, maps, or other documents.
Distributors are GLTN and UNHabitat and implementing organizations can be found here.
