Comparative Analysis of CASS and ArcGIS Parcel Fabric Tools for Enhancing Urban Cadastral Management

Abstract

CASS software, developed by Guangdong South Digital Technology Co., Ltd., is an advanced system built on CAD. It encompasses functionalities such as terrain modeling, cadastral management, spatial database creation, engineering applications, and earthwork calculations. Over more than a decade of stable development, CASS has matured technologically and gained widespread market acceptance across China. Its user base spans various industries, including surveying and mapping, land management, urban planning, property, municipal services, environmental protection, geology, transportation, water conservancy, electric power, and mining. This paper focuses on the integration of urban cadastral management theories and land information systems with the CASS software, particularly examining the cadastral map toolbar as the primary research object. Additionally, it integrates ArcGIS Parcel Fabric tools to enhance urban cadastral management, providing a comprehensive basis for effective land administration in urban environments.
