Digital integrated dispositions

Overview

The Digital Integrated Dispositions (DID) mapping program started in 2005. This integrated mapping framework helps the Operations Division manage industrial, commercial and agricultural public land dispositions. It reduces duplicate mapping and allows easy access to electronic activity maps of the province’s public land. The system also makes the approval process for new mapping applications more efficient.

Before DIDs

As of April 1, 2009, there were approximately 244,000 public land activities in Alberta. Every year, the number of applications increases.

Prior to 2005, every one of these activities was recorded on maps made of sheets of clear plastic, known as township mylars. As new activities were recorded over time for each township, the hard-copy maps became almost impossible to read.

To view a sample of the mylar maps see:

After DIDs

The DIDs mapping program replaces hard-to-read township mylar maps with clear, digital images of integrated dispositions.
