SPATIAL TECHNOLOGY FOR REVENUE AND ASSET MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

Existing Issues

§  LA’s lack accurate and updated data that is centrally located

§  Instances where LAs do not know which assets they own (ex. Roads not gazetted)

§  Duplication of investment

§  Ineffective decision-making

§  Uncollected arrears and property tax §  Buildings without Building Approval or

Certificate of Conformity

EXISTING ISSUES

What is Spatial Technology for Revenue and Asset Management (STRAM)?

§  An online system for asset and revenue management §  Includes pre-defined analytical reports with a spatial dimension

WHAT IS STRAM?

Advertisement Boards •  size •  location •  price –

revenue collection

Inventory of Road data §  structure §  maintenance §  urgent needs

Properties and Tax data §  owner details §  collection of

taxes §  LA-owned

Inventory of LA Projects §  tracking

Inventory of Service Centers §  hospitals §  parks §  schools

STRAM

KEY COMPONENTS + FUNCTIONALITY

STRAM System

§  Database §  Web Application §  Admin Panel

Web SRRMS Mobile SRRMS §  Field Officers §  Collect and Update §  Data

Mobile STRAM Mobile SRRMS §  LA Office Staff §  Survey Management §  Report Generation

Web STRAM

Why is this important for Local Authorities?

Enhance the efficiency of LAs in service delivery and tax collection to increase own revenue §  Improved decision making and prioritization using

generated reports §  Following-up on routine maintenance work §  Record keeping and creating an inventory of key

infrastructure §  Systemize the urban area – release building approvals

based on infrastructure and servicing capacity

Promote accountability §  Between citizens and Local Authority §  Between governing bodies (RDA, UDA, etc.)

§  Ex. Issue of road ownership §  Ex. Duplication of investment

§  Right to Information (RTI)

STRAM PROCESS

1 Introduction + Questionnaire

2 Pre-Survey Training Phase 1

3 Pre-Survey

4 Field Survey Training Phase 2

5 Field Survey

6 Post-Survey

•  Present STRAM, gauge readiness and willingness •  Become familiar with existing critical data

•  Verify existing data •  Prepare plan for digitizing records and next steps

•  LA collect identified data set into spreadsheet •  Verify spreadsheet / upload to web dashboard

•  Two-Day Training on entering data into dashboard, reports and field survey techniques

•  LA conduct field survey to check/update/add data •  Troubleshooting with TAF team

•  Discuss survey results, reports and prioritization •  Determine next set of data to be collected

§  Currently focusing on education + data collection

§  Commenced activities at Chilaw UC: 1.  Nov: STRAM kick-off

meeting 2.  Dec: Preliminary

training workshop 3.  May: Training Phase

1 §  Updating dashboard and

mobile app §  Require completion of

this to move forward with Chilaw in 3 weeks to Training Phase 2

§  Proceed to other test sites
