Valuation of unregistered land – a practice manual
Chair: Mr. James Kavanagh, United Kingdom

Jointly hosted by UN-Habitat/Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) and Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

The session will examine the underpinning principals of the UN Habitat Global Land Tool Network 2021 - Valuation of unregistered land – a practice manual. The session is designed to inform policy makers and practitioners about the underpinning rational for the manual’s application. The session will explore areas of influence and recognition with the International Valuation Standards and the RICS’s Global Valuation Standards (Red Book).

This is at a time when valuation and its operation are undergoing a revolution in understanding and practice. Valuers are being asked to consider and include valuation decisions on all kinds of ‘assets’ from natural capital to social value as well as firm up on their protocols and standards on traditional concepts of ‘market value’. This important manual brings a lot of these thought processes to fruition as we look at ‘value’, and its attribution to unregistered land. Valuation is a critical element of for enabling effective land acquisition, taxation and transfer processes and is a key component of land administration systems.

02.1 - Regional Academic Networks: Lessons from COVID-19 for SDG Goal 4 (education)
Commission: 2
Chair: Dr. Dimo Todorovski, Netherlands
Rapporteur: Mr. Marien de Bakker, Netherlands

The aim of this session is to explore how the SDG Goal 4 targets and indicators would benefit from regional academic networks drawing on the lessons learned as we transitioned to fully online education.

Effective regional academic networks allow effective sharing of knowledge with good online learning management systems and learning materials, and the online platforms also allow good teachers to reach more students through effective regional networks connected online. This will potentially help support improvements in

• Targets 4.3 and 4.5 - by improving access for both women and men.
• Target 4.7 - the networks make it easier for learners to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development.

YSN Mentoring Session
Commission: YSN

The session will run for an hour. The first half-hour will be an interactive series of presentations which explore the different faces that mentoring can hold, from participants in VCSP in-Country Mentoring and the SSSI Mentoring Program. This will explore the value of mentoring to different people and the unexpected aspects of the mentoring experience and how it can change lives. The remaining hour will be spent in structured speed-mentoring, where seasoned surveyors will have the chance to speak with young surveyors in five-minute time slots one-on-one (virtually) over a series of set topic areas.

With the global trends, technological changes, as well as the declining number of surveyors in the world, the surveying profession is facing a number of challenges. One of the keys to sustaining the future of the surveying profession is a well connected global community.

Mentoring is a key part of professional development in our industry. This session brings together seasoned and young surveyors to explore and highlight the benefits of mentoring at many levels - to the mentee, the mentor, their organisation, and the profession. The session will comprise presentations and ‘speed-mentoring’ between seasoned and young surveyors present. Lessons from this session will be used together with lessons from previous mentoring programs and workshops to develop a strategy for a mentoring program within FIG and the FIG Young Surveyors Network.

Netherlands and Land Administration: Best Practice and Vision for the Future
Chair: Ms. Corrie Jonkers, the Netherlands

Kadaster manages almost 10 petabytes of data and 160 open datasets, which were viewed more than 20 billion times in 2020, over 6 billion more than a year earlier. Impressive figures. Governments and companies from all over the world are interested how Kadaster works with artificial intelligence, pointclouds and image generation (for the cadastral map). How is Kadaster moving with time and digital challenges?

In this session we discuss the issues, solutions and dilemmas we encounter in bringing our cadastre to the next level in a world where data are at the heart of society’s needs and our operations. We provide an insight how cadastres evolve in this data-driven world and contribute to sound decision making and recording in the spatial domain and the land market in particular. This requires that the data ecosystem of the cadastres is linked up with the data of other domains. Cadastres will be more data-centric and have to link up with other domains if they want to remain a relevant to the users.

Also we zoom in on how Artificial Intelligence was used to rebuild the cadastral map. Currently the map has a so-called graphic quality (standard deviation of boundaries are 20 cm for urban areas and 40 cm for rural areas), because of the different working methods over time and the production scale. Kadaster has started a research program to develop a map where the location of borders is so accurate, that the map is more in line with future developments. For this purpose, almost all (historical) field sketches have to be processed. An enormous challenge that requires far reaching automation. The research program has investigated whether it is possible to automatically extract the original measurements from the fieldwork reports and to combine this information and re-determine the location of the boundaries. In this session the concept is explained as well as, geodetics aspects and AI solutions. Introduction

The Role of the Geospatial Information in Responding to Crises and Accelerating the Progress on Achieving the SDGs
Chair: Ms. Rumyana Tonchovska, FAO of the UN and Prof. Hartmut Müller, FIG Chair Commission 3
Rapporteur: Ms. Kate Fairlie, Australia

Jointly organised by FAO, FIG, UNSD/UN-GGIM, UNECE and World Bank

The objective of the session is to present the role of the geospatial information in responding to covid-19 pandemic and share good practices for using geospatial information to better respond to future crises and to accelerate the progress on the achieving the SDGs.

2020 was intended to welcome in a new decade of optimism. The ͚decade of action to accelerate progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while celebrating the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. However, by March 2020, with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, optimism quickly deteriorated into an unprecedented global crisis. As a consequence, our world is now being forced to rapidly adapt to confronting social and economic changes and challenges, from local to global levels, across all industries and sectors, and in all areas of supply and demand. The pandemic has not only created new challenges, but reinforced the pre-existing obstacles to realizing the SDGs - structural inequalities, socio-economic gaps, and systemic challenges and risks and a lack of timely fundamental data and enabling technologies to measure and monitor what is happening where, when, and how.

Viewed through a geospatial lens, the COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the unprecedented need for data, geospatial information, enabling technologies, and insights for governments and citizens across the globe, to not only enable decision-makers to inform policies and planning, but to also minimize the risk to people, especially the most vulnerable population groups.

This session will present the geospatial response to COVID-19, the future trends in geospatial information management to better respond to crises and accelerate the progress on the SDGs, the FAO and the World Bank support at the country level.

Reimagining the future of the Surveying Profession Post 2020
Chair: Dr. Diane Dumashie, FIG Vice President, United Kingdom
Rapporteur: Mr. David Mitchell, Chair FIG Commission 2, Australia

Special session organised by FIG Council with a focus on the skills and talent that we need to remain relevant as we move toward 2028. The achievements of the past 18 months brings into sharp focus an important question for our profession today; as we look to the future of surveying, What skills and talents will we need to possess to solve the problems of the 21st century, and why. We need to attract the brightest young people from the broadest reaches of our societies reflecting diversity form around the world to enter our profession and practices.

Our answer begins with a challenge. Our industry needs to find solutions to how the planet can accommodate human population growth yet remain within the bounds of the resilience of our planet. We will need new talent to help us archive this objective in a sustainable manner.

What better place to start addressing this challenge by asking our panellists of rising young stars from Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa (and USA). They will deliberate and challenge our current conventions and mind-sets to ensure that we evolve in sync with the communities we serve.

The session aims to draft a statement addressed to Council for inclusion in the Future 2028 strategy deliberations and to gain knowledge, to achieve results with land and property organisations, to exchange knowledge and to be inspired.

07.1 - Responsible PPPs in Land Administration
Commission: 7
Chair: Mr. John Meadows, Australia
Rapporteur: Ms. Kate Fairlie, Australia

In this session we turn again to the matter of PPP’s and their place and use in the context of land administration. This is a wide-ranging session covering the PPP ‘constellation’. We will be considering how taking Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to the next level brings a new dynamic to PPP’s. Inspired by the Danish experience we will hear how the use of a ‘cooperative’ approach to PPPs can, if emulated in developing countries, offer the flexibility required to create fit for purpose land administration systems that would otherwise not be possible if relying on the traditional top-down approach. We will consider the oft ignored but critically important commercial viability element of PPPs, discover how collaboration between the private and public sector is working in the context of maintaining the Spanish Cadastre and learn how ‘genuine’ public partnership is being used to deliver security of tenure in Zambia. This is a wide-ranging session that is a must for anyone with an interest in ensuring a responsible intersection of the public and private sectors towards providing inclusive land governance and administration.

The session will be interactive and delegates are encouraged to bring details of the challenges they have experienced in practice to the session to see how the manual could be applied in those circumstances.

05.3 - Vertical Datums Defined by GNSS and a Geoid
Commission: 5
Chair: Mr. Nic Donnelly, New Zealand
Rapporteur: Mr. David Avalos, Mexico

When defining spatial coordinates, the most fundamental component is the inherent reference frame for the geospatial data. GNSS observations must have the context of the reference frame to determine positions and provide for safe navigation. Physical heights above a vertical surface are usually taken with respect to geometric reference frames. To obtain precision and accuracy, it is necessary to understand how the vertical datum relates to the geometric reference frame.

Commission: 8
Chair: Prof. Isaac Boateng, Ghana
Rapporteur: Dr. Diane Dumashie, FIG Vice President, United Kingdom

A climate resilient approach for water governance, securing the availability of water as a resource, yet finding adaptive and mitigating strategies to deal with rising sea levels and flooding is much needed. Building resilience secures liveability, ecological, environmental, and economic viability for both urban and rural areas. This session presents some current thinking about water governance policies, managing water resources, and future scenarios strategies to guide professionals and practitioners in water management.

UN-GGIM Framework for Effective Land Administration (FELA)
Chair: Mr. Kees De Zeeuw, Netherlands

Organised by the UN GGIM Expert Group on Land Administration and Management

The Framework for Effective Land Administration (FELA) has been developed by the Expert Group on Land Administration and Management over the last few years, and has been adopted by the Committee of Experts of UN GGIM in September 2020. The purpose of this session is to give insight in what FELA is and to have an open discussion on the uptake of the framework in the FIG community, a communication plan and to share first ideas on implementations and use cases. The outcome would be that participants understand the current status of FELA and how this specialisation of IGIF can be used in the domain of Land Administration.

After an introduction by Eva-Maria Unger (with plenty of room for questions), two themes will be discussed with the participants (this is an interactive session):

• What is needed to get FELA taken up by the FIG community?
• What is the right global communication approach for FELA?

02.2 - Innovation in Professional Education during COVID-19 - Session 1
Commission: 2
Chair: Mr. William Kelly, United Kingdom
Rapporteur: Mr. Eugen Niculae, Ireland

This session aims to provide examples of good practice in responding to the constraints of COVID-19 and the rapid move to online and remote education. During 2020 all teaching and training institutions had to adapt very quickly so they could respond to the need for remote learning.

During this transformation to online learning we saw may very innovative and inspiring approaches to online learning. However, we also found that online learning has very definite disadvantages. Some students really cannot cope well with online learning, and some learning activities need to be face-to-face. These experiences allow us to reflect on the good and bad aspects on transforming our education online. It is now generally accepted that online learning will be part of the future approaches to education, and that the challenge will be to find the best “blend” of online and face-to-face learning.

In this session we aim to hear from leading academics and training organisations about the most innovative ways they adapted their learning and teaching to online. We also aim to have a discussion about these innovative approaches and how they help us to develop an appropriate “blend” of online and face-to-face learning going forward. This session will help inform the final Commission 2 report on Blended Learning for Surveyors.

KEYNOTE: A DECADE FOR FIT-FOR-PURPOSE LAND ADMINISTRATION: KEY LESSONS AMD FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Chair: Dr. Jaap Zevenbergen, Head of Department of the Urban and Regional Planning and Geoinformation Management University of Twente ITC Faculty

It’s already well recognised that well organised land administration systems can support countries achieving sustainable development goals. They can support responsible land policies and land management strategies, assist land dispute reduction, enable fair investment opportunities, support social and spatial justice, and overall good governance. However, a large number of people-to-land relationships (read: tenures) are unaccounted for in formal land administration systems, especially in the developing countries. This undermines equity, equality and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For many reasons, conventional surveying approaches have been proven not to be efficient when it comes to scaling and completing land administration systems. Fit for Purpose approaches challenge the paradigm: seek lower costs, less recording time, and appropriate spatial data qualities. With FFPLA having now being formally on the FIG agenda for almost a decade, this session will reflect the successes, challenges, and future directions of the FFPLA approach.

Launch of “Urban-Rural Land Linkages: Concept and Framework for Action
Chair: Rafic Khouri, Arab Union of Surveyors (AUS)/Co-lead, GLTN International Professional Bodies Cluster 
Panel Moderator: Rafic Khouri, UN-Habitat/GLTN 
Rapporteur: John Gitau, UN-Habitat/GLTN 

Jointly hosted by UN-Habitat/Global Land Tool Network, International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), Arab Union of Surveyors and Namibia University of Science and Technology

Urban and rural spaces are inextricably linked economically, socially and environmentally. Hence, the development discourse must depart from urban and rural dichotomy, but rather adopt an integrated and inclusive approach. Central to this is the need to understand the urban-rural land linkages particularly in addressing land governance and land tenure challenges. This session will present the conceptual framework around the urban-rural land continuum and the recommendations to address land specific problems within the intersection of urban and rural development.

07.2 - Cadastral Maintenance and Modernisation
Commission: 7
Chair: Dr. Rohan Bennett, Netherlands
Rapporteur: Mr. Charles Atakora, United Kingdom

When it comes to industry developments or sector showcases in land administration, the issue of ‘maintenance’ is often the poor cousin to ‘initial registration’ or ‘system creation’. This is despite the entire success and sustainability of the any developed system being reliant on the approach taken to maintenance. In this session, ‘maintenance’ is unashamedly given centre stage. We’ll take a global tour with industry leaders and practitioners, exploring why land administration maintenance has been so problematic, and more importantly, we’ll unpack the emerging vendor technology solutions and country-level implementations that seek to do maintenance better.

02.5 - Innovation in Professional Education during COVID-19 - Session 2
Commission: 2
Chair: Dr. Mohsen Kalantari, Australia
Rapporteur: Mr. Ali Asghari, Australia

This second session on Innovation in Professional Education during COVID-19 aims to provide examples of good practice in responding to the constraints of COVID-19 and the rapid move to online and remote education. During 2020 all teaching and training institutions had to adapt very quickly so they could respond to the need for remote learning.

During this transformation to online learning we saw many innovative and inspiring approaches to online learning. However, we also found that online learning has very definite disadvantages. Some students really cannot cope well with online learning, and some learning activities need to be face-to-face. These experiences allow us to reflect on the good and bad aspects on transforming our education online. It is now generally accepted that online learning will be part of the future approaches to education, and that the challenge will be to find the best “blend” of online and face-to-face learning.

The Dutch Spatial Data Landscape - System of Key Registers and Environmental Planning Act
Chair: Mr. Erik Nobbe, Waterschapshuis, the Netherlands
Rapporteur: Mr. Paul van Asperen, the Netherlands and Ms. Carline Amsing, the Netherlands

Though the Dutch landscape is relatively flat, its spatial data landscape has many peaks. A few of them will be discussed in this session, to start with open spatial datasets available in the Netherlands. Amongst them, countrywide high resolution areal imagery and height model. Secondly, the backbone to the spatial data-infrastructure, the system of key registers will be discussed. These registers are officially designated by the government with data that are compulsorily used by all government institutions when performing public law tasks. One of the upcoming challenges where these registers will perform their key role, is the implementation of the new Environmental Planning Act. This Act seeks to modernize, harmonise and simplify current rules on land use planning, environmental protection, nature conservation, construction of buildings, protection of cultural heritage, water management, urban and rural redevelopment, development of major public and private works and mining and earth removal and integrate these rules into one legal framework. One presentation allows you to get a sneak preview of the digital framework (DSO) supporting the Act, with emphasis on spatial data used. The last presentation focuses on the challenges to connect all relevant governmental bodies at all levels to the framework to create one integrated digital eco-system.

100 years of innovation in Heerbrugg
Chair: Dr. Craig D. Hill, Leica Geosystems
WILD Heerbrugg was founded on 26 April 1921, today 100 years later, Leica Geosystems continues to revolutionise surveying through innovation.

The company "Heinrich Wild, Werkstätte für Feinmechanik und Optik" was founded a century ago in Heerbrugg, Switzerland, on 26 April, 1921. Over the decades, this company developed into the world-renowned Leica Geosystems AG and is an essential component of the Hexagon technology group. The founder, Heinrich Wild, was a master of innovation. He revolutionised surveying with smaller, more practical, yet more accurate instruments. Heerbrugg has repeatedly been the source of major innovations, such as the first optoelectronic distance meter in 1968, the first electronic theodolite with digital data recording in 1977, the first surveying system based on GPS signals in 1984, the first digital level in 1990, the first hand-held laser distance meter in 1993, the first digital aerial-image sensor in 2000 and the smallest, lightest and most user-friendly laser scanner in 2019. What was the recipe for success in this hundred-year history of innovation?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & (Sub)National Mapping
Chair: Mr. Joep Crompvoets, the Netherlands and Mr. Martijn Rijsdijk, the Netherlands

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shifted from the realms of future technology. Deep learning, machine learning, AI, big data are no longer buzzwords but emerging technologies that are shaping the way data are collected, maintained, managed and used. From various sources, AI is being declared to be essential technology for future geospatial activities. In this context, it is important to answer questions such as: What are the potentials of AI? What are the current technology trends in AI for geospatial data? What does this mean for National Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authorities (NMCAs)? And, what are the potential risks? This workshop aims to raise awareness and understanding of AI within the context of NMCAs. By sharing policy frameworks, research trends and experiences of implementing AI this workshop will help us to appreciate the impact, benefits and effect of AI on the business processes of NMCAs. The workshop is aimed at staff members of NMCAs, researchers at NMCAs, and land surveyors and academic institutions with an interest in AI in the geospatial sector.

An Interactive Panel Discussion will follow the presentations.

9th FIG Workshop on the LADM/ 3D Land Administration: Session 1 - 3D LA and LADM, part I
Commission: 7
Chair: Prof. Efi Dimopoulou, Greece
Rapporteur: MSc. Eftychia Kalogianni, Greece

The increasing complexity of densely built-up areas and infra-structures (3D Land Uses) requires the proper registration of the legal status of built environment (private and public). This can only be provided to a limited extent with the existing 2D representations. 3D representations of legal space can be seen in other steps of the spatial development: planning, design, permitting, constructing, enforcement, and so on. 3D data sharing and reuse are topics of growing importance. The information infrastructure is a tool to realize data sharing by networked connectivity and improved interoperability. Standards play a crucial role in the information infrastructure, and specifically in the Land Administration Domain Model - LADM (ISO 19152:2012). This standard has been in use for eight years, and the ISO TC211 members decided that the standard should be revised to address land administration with a wider scope, such as valuation, spatial planning (planned land use), marine spaces and with more detailed 3D representations.

This session will focus on 3D Land Administration and LADM. The session will start with short, dynamic presentations followed by a discussion. The presenters will

• Highlight the purpose and societal impact of your 3D LA
• Indicate which 3D LA Uses are supported
• Present the expected impact on LADM development (if any)
• Share idea’s and proposals on 3D LA Implementation and Maintenance – technical, institutional
• Give their expectations on the impact for the profession
• Share about blockers and things going well

08.6 - Generic Tool for Land Consolidation
Commission: 8
Chair: Ms. Maartje Lof, the Netherlands
Rapporteur: Ms. Marije Louwsma, Chair FIG Commission 8, the Netherlands

Land consolidation is considered useful to optimize the allocation of land rights and its land use. To ensure legal certainty for involved stakeholders and ease implementation it is recommended to have dedicated software available that incorporates both spatial and administrative data. However, no off-the-shelf software is available, which might be a barrier for countries aiming to introduce land consolidation. A generic tool could prevent countries from re-inventing the wheel and it will reduce costs for developing or updating customized software.

This workshop provides ample possibilities to discuss the concept of a generic tool for land consolidation. Drawing on generic functionality, this tool can be configured to meet the needs of local contexts regarding tenure system, legislation, and process / procedures.

The programme of this workshop consists of two parts:

• First, the concept will be explained, and the visualization of the generic tool will be demonstrated.
• Second, we will split up in two break-out sessions to further elaborate on specific aspects of the generic tool, offering you the possibility to actively engage, contribute and ultimately benefit of the proposed tool.

The ArcGIS Parcel Fabric is designed for any organization in any country or region that manages cadastral / land records. The ArcGIS Parcel Fabric is the system of record of the rights, restrictions, and responsibilities of Land. It uses record-driven workflows that organizes parcel data based on the form in which it is originally recorded.

Beyond cadastral agencies the assessor offices this includes Public Works departments, Federal agencies, Right-of-Way mapping for Transportation, Railroads, Pipeline, and Utility companies. Lease mapping for oil/gas, forestry, and agriculture. Lease and Land management for Port authorities.

The workshop will include demonstrations and hands-on exercises.

Workshop Topics include:

• Introduction to the ArcGIS Parcel Fabric
  • Record driven workflows
  • Historic Parcels and Lineage
  • Using the Parcel Fabric Service in Web apps
• Create a Parcel Fabric and Load Data
• Workflows and Tasks
  • Importing parcels from CAD
  • Importing from GNSS
  • Quality Driven workflows
• Additional topics
  • Attribute rules
  • Vertical Parcels
  • Least Square Adjustments

50 High-Resolution Laser Scans/Hour – Workflow Description of Extensive TLS Projects with a RIEGL VZ-400i Laser Scanner
Chair: Mr. Nikolaus Studnicka, RIEGL Manager Terrestrial Laser Scanning Business Division

In practical use the RIEGL VZ-400i laser scanner proves daily that it is one of the fastest in its class. Up to 400 scan positions can be recorded in an 8-hour working day and are already registered to each other during data acquisition. High-resolution photos are taken in parallel. This workshop will show - even to newcomers - how a single operator can handle such an extensive scanning project. It starts with data acquisition, which is extremely fast, both outdoors and indoors (even without light and GPS reception). Already during scanning, it is possible to follow on a mobile device how the scan positions combine to form a floor plan. Back in the office, the data can be transferred into a homogenized and balanced point cloud using the newly developed "One-Touch-Processing-Wizard". In the workshop, the entire workflow is displayed, questions arising will be discussed and answered.

Blended Learning: lessons from our responses to COVID-19 - WORKSHOP
Commission: 2
Chair: Dr. David Mitchell, Chair FIG Commission 2, Australia
Rapporteur: Dr. Audrey Martin, Ireland

This workshop aims to provide examples of good practice in responding to the constraints of COVID-19 and the rapid move to online and remote education, and discuss these. This will form a basis for workshopping what blended learning will look like for surveying education.

During 2020 all teaching and training institutions had to adapt very quickly so they could respond to the need for remote learning. During this transformation to online learning we saw may very innovative and inspiring approaches to online learning. However, we also found that online learning has very definite disadvantages. Some students really cannot cope well with online learning, and some learning activities need to be face-to-face. These experiences allow us to reflect on the good and bad aspects on transforming our education online. It is now generally accepted that online learning will be part of the future approaches to education, and that the challenge will be to find the best “blend” of online and face-to-face learning.

In this session we have examples of good practices in online education and the most innovative ways learning and teaching to online, and results of a student questionnaire on learning strategies and preferences. There will also be insights into how face-to-face learning can benefit from online content, and how online content can be blended with face-to-face activities. Using break out groups and a World Café approach we also aim to hear from participants about these innovative approaches and how they help us to develop an appropriate “blend” of online and face-to-face learning going forward. This session will help inform the final Commission 2 report on Blended Learning for Surveyors.

Augmented Reality in the Construction World
Commission: 6
Chair: Eng. Maria Henriques, Chair FIG Commission 6, Portugal
Rapporteur: Ms. Corinna Harmening, Austria

Important data for the engineering surveyor is quite often hidden or has not even been materialized, yet. Using a tablet or innovative equipment like goggles or glasses affixed with sensors and a camera, an engineering surveyor can superimpose a computer-generated image, spatially located, over a real scene and add or take away elements from what is currently being seen.

Many very interesting examples of Augmented Reality (AR) applications for cadastre and land management can be found on the internet. However, AR can also be of great benefit in other areas, for example during a construction process. The workshop, hence, focuses on the construction world and the benefits for the engineering surveyor by using this innovative tool.

In order to bring the field of AR closer to engineering surveyors, FIG commission “Engineering Surveys” has invited two well known developers of new solutions - Topcon and Trimble - to help us to understand how much we can profit from this new technology. In this 1.5 h workshop, first Topcon and then Trimble, are going to share with us the solutions that both enterprises have developed for being applied in the construction world. There will be a period for questions and answers after each presentation, during that Adam Box and Tor-Erik Djupos will, for sure, make us want to include AR in our daily work.
