About
Current geospatial scenario warrants for new and advance services, solutions, and technologies. Several initiatives have been developed by the community such as Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) standard with edition II, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM), CityGML, and CityJSON. Additionally, technologies associated with geoinformation such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning, 3D City Models, and Digital Twins, are increasingly relevant.
The community of Geoinformation Week, LADM, FIG Commission 5 and Commission 7, and UN Habitat STDM would like to encourage all geoinformation related professionals, researchers, and students to present and share their works at the upcoming international conference, i.e., the Geoinformation Week 2024, LADM International Workshop 2024, FIG Commission 5 Annual Meeting 2024, FIG Commission 7 Annual Meeting 2024, and UN Habitat STDM 2024 in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Workshop
Kadaster International and ITC will jointly organize a full-day workshop on Land Administration & Climate Action on September 23 (Monday) as part of the School of Land Administration Studies activities.
This workshop aims to enhance Asia Pacific land administration capacity by providing a platform for dialogue, exchange, and knowledge creation. For Kadaster International and ITC, this event serves to support and raise awareness in the critical Asia-Pacific region, showcasing ongoing regional projects to various country contexts. Key topics to be covered include UN-GGIM Framework for Effective Land Administration (FELA), Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration (FFPLA), and Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) applications.

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide for practitioners transitioning from traditional machine learning to deep learning approaches in the development of intelligent systems. It covers fundamental concepts, techniques, and best practices essential for harnessing the power of deep learning for solving complex problems across various domains. By covering fundamental concepts, practical techniques, and real-world applications, the tutorial empowers practitioners to tackle a wide range of challenges using state-of-the-art deep learning methodologies.
This tutorial will review the current trends and approaches for integrating BIM and GIS, focusing on the prevailing standards in both domains, specifically IFC and CityGML. It will compare the semantics, geometry, georeferencing, and spatial structure mechanisms within these standards. Additionally, the tutorial will highlight current applications and address open issues in the domain of BIM-GIS integration.
This tutorial discusses various aspects of Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) as a conceptual model for managing and handling land objects in 2D and 3D. LADM provides basic concept needed especially in land administration where it consists of related classes and their relationships. The classes later could be extended into several sub-classes depending on the situation where each class contains attributes describing the characteristics of objects.
In this tutorial, besides LADM Edition I, new edition of LADM will be introduced and discussed. The LADM Edition II contains multi-parts namely Part 1-Generic Information, Part 2-Land Registration, Part 3-Marine Georegulation, Part 4-Valuation Information and Part 5-Spatial Planning. The tutorial will explain the country profile development for the Sarawak State utilizing the concept of LADM. At the end of the tutorial, participants should be able to gain basic knowledges of the subject.
Convenors:
ISO 19152:2012 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) has been systematically reviewed, starting from 2018, to refine the existing content and to extend the scope to cover all functions of land administration, including land use and land value. The LADM Edition II is designed as a multi-part standard and one of its parts is 19152-4 Valuation information, which extends the flexible and modular basis of the LADM and proposes an information model for the specification of valuation information maintained by public authorities. The LADM Edition II Part 4 is designed to facilitate all stages of the administrative valuation property, in particular (a) the identification of properties, (b) the valuation of properties by single or mass appraisal procedures, (c) the recording of transaction prices, (d) the production and representation of sales statistics, and (e) the handling of appeals.
In this tutorial, how LADM Part 4 can be used to represent these stages is explained in detail with examples (in other words, the principles of LADM Part 4 are explained), and the latest approaches proposed in the literature are presented for each stage. The conceptual model of LADM Part 4 is then presented. In order to implement LADM Part 4, a country profile is required, so the methodologies for developing a country profile are explained using the proposed country profiles of LADM Part 4. Finally, a demonstration of the visualization and dissemination of valuation information associated with 3D property units is presented and practical guidance on the tools used is given.
In this tutorial, the concept of responsible land management will be described, which will be followed by an explanation on the construction of good marine governance through adaptation of responsible land management. Furthermore, examples on the utilization of LADM on marine and coastal governance will be given. Last but not least, guidance on the development of an inclusive responsible marine governance will also be provided.

Visitors to Sarawak are required to fill in an immigration form upon arrival. Malaysia has strict anti-drug trafficking laws and those caught smuggling illegal drugs will be sentenced to a mandatory death penalty. Every person entering the country must possess a valid Passport or internationally recognized Travel Document. Visitors may also use a Document in lieu of Passport from the Immigration Representative for entry purposes. Application for the Document in lieu of Passport can be made at any Malaysian Representative Office abroad. The documents shall be valid, for more than six (6) months from the date of entry into Malaysia.
Foreign nationals who require a visa to enter Malaysia must apply and obtain a visa in advance at the Malaysian Representative Office before entering the country. A visa is an endorsement in a passport or other recognized travel document of a foreigner indicating that the holder has applied for permission to enter Malaysia and that permission has been granted. A visa that has been granted is not a guarantee that the holder will be allowed to enter Malaysia. The final decision lies with the Immigration Officer at the entry point.
