Description	This chapter presents a roadmap for exploring the role of land and geospatial information, the function and responsibility of the institutions that govern the data, and the resulting impact that this data has on the overall resilience of society to disasters. It examines a resource for enhancing resilience – and in particular, resilience to disaster events in a specific country context by improving the impact of existing land and geospatial systems. The chapter explores the role that land and geospatial systems play within a country, and highlights ways that disaster resilience can be significantly improved for stakeholders, particularly at the community level, through use of existing land and geospatial information and resources. National land administration systems and geospatial data infrastructure act as the country's source for recording people to land relationships. Global land and geospatial systems are important national resources. A Roadmap for improving land resilience within a country context has been developed.
