DOCUMENT OVERVIEW

This document intends provides guidelines for MAST mobile application users (Trusted Intermediaries
and Adjudicators), for usage of MAST mobile data capture application.
This mobile data capture application has been designed to work on Android based hand-held devices
only and enables the field users to capture data of parcels (spatial units) in the field along with parcel
attributes and multimedia information.
Pre-requisite:
1. Android application (apk) file should be installed on the device.
2. Internet connectivity should be available to download the data before initiation of data capturing
work.

ABOUT THE MAST APPLICATION

The key objective of MAST is to provide a framework for capturing land rights information using a
participatory approach. This framework provides a suite of applications to support the collection and
management of land rights information with following key components:
Mobile Data Capture Application – The mobile data capture application is an Android-based mobile
application to capture land rights information (spatial, alphanumeric and multimedia) on mobile devices
in field.
The mobile application is able to conduct data collection work without being connected to a central
cloud-based server in offline mode. Data will be collected and stored on users’ handheld devices and
once the user is within the influence region of the internet, where data could be synced, the information
will be packaged and sent back to the server.
Land Rights Data Management Infrastructure Application – Data collected on mobile devices
will be transferred to a cloud-based land rights Data Management Infrastructure application which will
provide tools to ingest, manage and store data of land rights information. It will also provide reporting
components so that required land rights reports can be generated.
This document provides details of the mobile component of the MAST application.
