Our Strategy & Projects
The Survey and Land Registration Bureau's strategic plan is designed to establish a national digital land information management system, adopting a global land management model. This model aims to provide a comprehensive and balanced framework for the sustainable and equitable management and utilisation of land, aligning with the Kingdom's economic, social, and environmental goals.
In accordance with the priorities outlined in the government programme and Bahrain's Economic Vision 2030—particularly focusing on infrastructure, the environment, government performance and digital transformation—the strategic plan has been meticulously developed to cultivate a sustainable economy within Bahrain's property sector. This vision seeks to deliver high-quality, efficient services in land management, thereby fostering sustainable economic development.
Our strategic objectives encompass:
- Developing a robust national data system
- Providing high-quality services and products
- Enhancing partnerships with stakeholders
- Achieving institutional excellence
To realise these objectives, the Bureau has launched several ambitious projects and initiatives, including:
- Project for Monitoring Changes and Violations Using Artificial Intelligence: This project aims to create a system that monitors changes in natural and constructed features, enabling the early detection of construction violations. It utilises comparisons between satellite imagery taken at specific intervals, leveraging artificial intelligence technologies, mapping data, property information, and building permits. This system will be applied in several vital environmental areas, such as monitoring cleanliness violations, agricultural changes, and conducting studies related to afforestation, plant health, and marine waters.
- Bahrain Street View Project: The project aims to cover the main streets of Kingdom of Bahrain using 360-degree panoramic imaging technology. It also includes the main heritage and tourist point of interest across Kingdom of Bahrain. The images will be uploaded to the Google Maps platform (street view), allowing users to enjoy a virtual tour experience.
- Electronic Registration Service via Bahrain.bh: This project focuses on transferring all property registration services available on the Bureau's website to the e-government platform, Bahrain.bh.
- National 3D Mapping Programme: This programme encompasses multiple projects that collectively aim to modernise national mapping production processes using the latest geospatial technologies, standards and specifications, ensuring the acquisition of reliable and high-quality data.
- Enhancement of Electronic Surveying Services: This project seeks to improve the services provided by the Surveying Department by transitioning them entirely to electronic platforms.
- Automated Property Document Mapping Project: This initiative involves the development of a system to automatically generate property maps utilising the Bureau's updated database and mapping resources.
- Electronic Data Linkage with the Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs (Notarisation): Through this project, data used in notarised contracts with the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs, and Endowments will be electronically linked with the Bureau's property registration system. This will enable the seamless retrieval and transmission of contract data, thereby expediting the property registration process and minimising potential errors.
Additional initiatives include:
- Geospatial Data Capture Services
- Development of Electronic Property Documents
- Transition to Cloud Computing (AWS)
- Blockchain Technology
