dc.description.abstract	In the past two decades a huge effort has been given to the land administration sector and many goals have already been achieved through first-stage rural land registration and certification in Ethiopia. However, the first-stage certification had limitations with respect to the maintenance and updating of land registration records. Therefore, the government of Ethiopia is committed to undertake the systematic 2nd level certification of all rural land. From the several different methods of land surveying that have been tested the use of orthophotos/images has been found as the most suitable method for mass-scale 2nd level certification of rural land in Ethiopia. Ortho-rectified aerial photography or satellite imagery can be a useful tool in the demarcation and digitization of land boundaries. However, it is rarely sufficient in its own right regarding shadows from trees, houses and clouds which can make it difficult to see details and other surveying methods must be augmented. The principle objective of the study is to assess the use and applicability of orthoimages base procedures for parcel boundary surveying and mapping in order to achieving a maximum efficiency of parcel map production. The methodology is described in terms of per-fieldwork, fieldwork, and postfieldwork considerations. One of the significant observations of the study is a suitable, flexible, and reliable technical procedure certainly significant. It was revealed that 72% of the respondents replied that the procedures to produce field maps were tedious and unsuitable. The comparisons shows that 39% from (0.01-0.09)ha and 46% from (0.10-0.25)ha. can be derived with a difference in terms of area respectively. Despite the fact that some tape and hand held GPS measurements and scaling on field maps has augmented due to the invisible boundaries in the field map and in the ground. From the above findings it’s clear that that institutional strength needs an emphasis in terms of technical and operational efficiencies of rural cadastral mapping in order to achieve efficient parcel map production. Eventually, there needs to be a comprehensive handover and maintenance of cadastral dataset at Woreda, zonal and regional level.	en_US
