Abstract: Sustainable and efficient land management is crucial for preserving our natural resources. Social, environmental, and economic management aspects of a country are all dependent on the Land Administration Systems (LASs). It is also crucial for any country or jurisdiction to have a LAS in order to manage the ownership, their people’s relationship to land, and disasters, improve resilience, support, and achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A successful implementation, however, depends on designing appropriate systems by considering a number of important parameters. Our societies today face many sustainability challenges such as population growth, disaster occurrences, and scarcity of land resources. By considering global initiatives for sustainability and community resilience, current LASs should be assessed to make sure they are efficient in addressing sustainability challenges. Therefore, their design framework and components require ongoing adjustments. In this context, the need for advancing LASs design has become increasingly evident since international institutions and land administration agencies have been pursuing research and development to improve LASs. These authorities have proposed several related frameworks and models, including SDGs, the New Urban Agenda (NUA), the Framework for Effective Land Administration (FELA), and the Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF). In addition, there are several investigations proposing frameworks for the evaluation of LASs. Therefore, this study aims to do a comprehensive investigation of relevant global initiatives and research-driven evaluation frameworks that lay the foundation for advancing parameters in LASs. By implementing the Document Analysis method, this study proposes the required parameters and their indicators that are critically important for advancing LASs.
