User Manual for the Mobile Application v.2.2

1. 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.

2. 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.
