by Jaco de Kock
|
MSc student Jaco de Kock has been with us in Amsterdam for some months during his MSc trajectory in 2004. Back in South-Africa,
he finished his studies and graduated after a virtual presentation for the Unigis exam committee. The title of his dissertation
is: 'Utilisation of Mobile GIS for Optimal Appraisals in Land Valuation and Taxation'. It "...comprises an investigation into
the utilisation of mobile technology and -GIS for appraisal optimisation, which accounts for the collection, updating and management
of data during 'fieldwork' in land valuation and taxtaion [...] The main purpose of the study was to explore, introduce and
demonstrate the use of mobile technology and GIS to improve and optimise the quality of data management in the field by digitising
the data input, control, validation and update procedures." (De Kock, 2005). The thesis describes a case-study on this subject
carried out in the municipality of Almelo, the Netherlands.
