Experiencias latinoamericanas
December 2006, Portuguese
This volume, Sistemas de información geográfica aplicados a estudios urbanos: Experiencias latinoamericanas (Geographic Information Systems Applied to Urban Studies: Latin American Experiences), presents case studies, in Spanish and Portuguese, of GIS projects that resulted in the (re)definition of urban land policy. The nineteen chapters correspond to work developed in nine Latin American countries and were selected based on their geographic distribution, replicability, and relevance. The topics were grouped in three areas: informal settlements, urban cadastre, and urban studies.

Implementing a Local Property Tax Where There Is No Real Estate Market
The Case of Commonly Owned Land in Rural South Africa
April 2006, English
This report summarizes what was learned from a workshop held in a tribal area of Limpopo Province, which sought to assist local residents in identifying land attributes that affect the relative desirability of different plots, and to apply those criteria to selected plots as a step toward developing taxable values that are reasonable proxies for market value. Although the focus here is on South Africa, the approach and lessons learned have broader applications in other developing and transitional countries where a modern, mature property tax based on market values is not feasible.
