Abstract: This research offers a basis for spatial data management case in point that the land governance
strategy denoting as a routine of digital spatial data legacy development is a major stipulation to the “land
resources” and the “community services”. Until 2015, Ontario’s municipalities cover just 17 percent of its
landmass where the municipal affairs pace complications in land use reckoned to the seven provincial plans.
The Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Plan often cloaks the multijurisdictional constraints, for example, the
amendment of the municipal zoning ordinance, land registry and surveys, land claims and conciliations, and
housing options and taxations. The emphasis is to contour: first, identification of the key attributes and entity-
sets; second, structuring of the geo-relational database connecting the local activities at the dissemination
areas; and finally, the thematic features of each municipality and their contiguity. On the contrary, responsible
land governance in municipal affairs is obviously substance at least to the three central obligations such as
approach in integrated land management, shared periphery negotiation for economic and environmental
growth moratoria, and digital data automation properties and protocols. The suggestion is that a massive
development of digital spatial data is necessary to readdress the municipal affairs toward responsible land
governance.

 A massive development of digital spatial data is necessary to
readdress the municipal affairs toward responsible land governance
 Ontario One Spatial Information geo-data coverage would be
essential to harmonise the provincial planning needs in community
services connected to the permissible land resources information for
housing options and taxations categorically at the municipal
dissemination area level
 The outputs anticipated is to provide standard evidence as the
ongoing trends for strategic planning necessities and subsequently
to the policy implementation at the local municipal level abiding by
the regional and provincial intergovernmental requirements towards
the best alternative solution.
