Introduction
Spatial planning plays an essential role in land management. Integration of physical and sectoral planning
at the local level usually produces some degree of permissions, authorizations, restrictions, responsibilities,
obligations and sanctions. Essentially, jurisdictions reserve the power to control activities over certain areas
of land. They exert this power by providing agencies with powers that either restrict or sanction the rights of
landowners or create positive obligations (responsibilities or obligations) on landowners. The same agencies
can potentially have the power to empower landowners with rights that would otherwise be restricted or
waive positive obligations. Where this occurs, a time-limited permit or authorization is commonly used.
However, it is typical in many countries to establish land administration and spatial plan processes through
different regulations, authorities and processes. Cities establish and maintain land administration systems
(LAS) to manage information about the land and urban space. Information about land rights recorded in
a land administration system (under its applicable legislation) can be required to inform spatial planning
decisions. Legally binding planning conditions that create rights, responsibilities and restrictions under
local or national planning legislation, which are not recorded in a land registration system, can be required
for a full understanding of the permitted uses of a specific land parcel. Outputs of the planning system can
anticipate changes in land rights that will be recorded in the land registration system in the future. The land
administration domain model (LADM) offers guidelines to support interoperability in the representation
of rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRRs). The LADM is also capable of standardizing multi-
dimensional representation, including the temporal aspects in documenting and visualizing all legal aspects
of land use or space.
The purpose of this document is to provide the general reference model as an extension of core LADM (i.e.
ISO 19152-1 and ISO 19152-2) for all objects of spatial planning covering land/water and below/on/above
surfaces. This document supports a 4D (3D + time) representation of the spatial plans, including marine
spatial plans.
The first goal of this document is to enable involved parties, both within one country and between different
countries, to communicate based on the shared vocabulary implied by the model. It is not intended to replace
existing systems but rather to provide a formal language for describing them so that their similarities and
differences can be better understood.
The second goal is to provide an extensible basis for the development and refinement of efficient and effective
LAS based on a model-driven architecture (MDA). This document is relevant for creating standardized
information services in a national or international context, where land administration domain semantics
have to be shared between organizations, regions, or countries in order to enable necessary translations.
Three considerations during the design of the model were:
— that it will cover the common aspects shared by objects created by spatial plans;
— that it will be based on the conceptual framework of "Cadastre 2014" of the International Federation of
[13] [4][15] [11]
Surveyors (FIG) , Plan4all and Land Use/Cover data themes of INSPIRE ;
— it will be as simple as possible in order to be useful in practice.
Conformance in relation to this document is given in Clause 4, and a conformance test is specified in Annex A.
Clause 5 provides the notation. Clause 6 introduces the classes, attributes and associations of this document
in detail. Clause 7 presents the relationships between the core LADM and this document. Annex B presents
studies related to spatial plan interoperability. A set of country profiles is presented in Annex C. Annex D
presents code lists as a basis to describe a flexible enumeration. The relationships between this document
and INSPIRE are presented in Annex E. Examples of 3D spatial planning information and regulation are
given in Annex F.

Part 5:
Spatial plan information
1 Scope
This document:
— specifies a reference land administration domain model (LADM) covering basic information-related
components of spatial plan information on land/water and elements below/on/above the surface of the
Earth with 2D/3D/4D (3D + time) geometric representation;
— provides an abstract, conceptual model with packages related to:
— plan unit, i.e. the smallest homogenous area/space (2D/3D/4D) with assigned function/purpose, e.g.
office, education, retail;
— plan block, i.e. a set of neighbouring plan units decided on by planning authorities, e.g. high-density
residential area, nature area, heavy industry area;
— plan group unit, i.e. areas corresponding to the higher planning levels;
— plan group, i.e. hierarchy in spatial plans consisting of multiple plan blocks, e.g.:
— continent/regional-wide (e.g. European regions),
— country-wide (e.g. Indonesia, the Netherlands),
— island,
— state or region province,
— municipality or city, and
— urban or rural;
— permit, i.e. something that is granted to a party which gives the party permission to undertake an
activity which would otherwise be restricted;
— defines terminology for spatial plan information as part of land administration, based on various
national and international systems, that is as simple as possible in order to be useful in practice. The
terminology allows a shared description of different formal or informal practices and procedures in
various jurisdictions;
— provides a platform for comparison and monitoring of spatial planning information based on Sustainable
Development Goal (SDG) indicators;
— provides an approach to modelling the integration of spatial plan information (outputs of spatial plans)
into land administration;
— provides a basis for national and regional profiles;

ISO 19152-5:2025(en)
— enables the combining of land-use planning and land development planning in land administration
information from different sources in a coherent manner;
— allows for the relationship to multiple parties and groups to be expressed together with a referencing
structure so that the sourcing of all information systems can be maintained. It reuses core LADM classes
so that sourcing of all information systems can be maintained;
— establishes the common elements and basic schema for spatial plan information upon which a more
detailed schema can be established.
NOTE This document does not interfere with (national) and sub-national spatial planning laws.

3 Terms, definitions, and abbreviations
3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 19152-1, ISO 19152-2 and the
following apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1.1
permit
explicit proof of a right (to perform a task) granted by authorities and granted to parties fitting
within the relevant plan unit, i.e. the object specified in the permit request has the correct function for the
requested location
Note 1 to entry: A permit can be considered as an authorization granted by the authorities to the parties in accordance
with the plan unit. The use of plan unit identifiers within a permit document can enable a closely coupled integration.
3.1.2
plan block
set of adjacent and non-overlapping plan units that are defined collectively by the spatial planning
authorities (3.1.8), which represents the intended use of the area
Note 1 to entry: A plan block represents planned land use (PLU) that corresponds to spatial plans defined by spatial
planning authorities, depicting the possible utilization or development, or both, of the land. A plan block contains the
plan units to express the PLU defined by the spatial planning authority.

ISO 19152-5:2025(en)
Note 2 to entry: PLU is regulated by spatial planning (3.1.7) documents elaborated at various levels of administration.
Land use regulation over a geographical area is, in general, composed of an overall strategic orientation, a textual
regulation, and a cartographic representation. Spatial planning documents result from the spatial planning process.
Once adopted, all parties are required to conform to the document. A spatial planning document corresponds to the
plan block.
Note 3 to entry: A plan block contains an area/volume (2D/3D) characterized by a (set of) boundary(ies) of the PLU
policy. Typical representations are residential, commercial, retail and industry.
Note 4 to entry: The geometric representation of the plan block is equal to the union of constituent plan units.
3.1.3
plan group
spatial plan (3.1.6) that can be used to derive more detailed plans
Note 1 to entry: The hierarchy can be as follows: national level (national plans), regional level (regional plans), city-
level spatial planning (3.1.7) (urban/rural plans), and finally sub-city level (zoning plans).
Note 2 to entry: A spatial plan group has specific attributes, and the level of the administrative hierarchy is
accommodated in the plan group. It can include administrative information (which is expressed by an association
to LA_AdministrativeSource from ISO 19152-2), such as legislation reference or date and reference to a legal act
according to which it entered into force.
3.1.4
plan group unit
areas corresponding to the higher planning levels with corresponding boundaries and spatial
functions delineated by the higher plan level authorities
EXAMPLE In a national plan, the northwest of a country is designated to the energy plan group unit, the middle of
the country is the national park plan group unit, and the south is the designated area for the industry plan group unit
(these areas are of national scale).
Note 1 to entry: A higher-level plan [plan group (3.1.3)] consists of a collection of plan group units.
Note 2 to entry: The functions of the plan unit are aligned with the function of the plan group unit in which they are
located.
3.1.5
plan unit
zoning unit
homogenous area/space (2D/3D) with an assigned function or purpose that represents the
potential land use development according to the spatial planning authorities (3.1.8) at the highest detail
(largest scale)
Note 1 to entry: Plan units are usually prepared at the municipality/neighbourhood level.
Note 2 to entry: A plan unit, which is part of plan block (3.1.2), is a feature type that consists of area/volumes (2D/3D).
It represents a zoning arrangement with regulation regarding the potential land use development. Plan units have
several specific attributes to accommodate rights, restrictions and responsibilities (RRR), such as the nature of a
regulation, indications on dimension rules that apply to the use of land, and reference to the applicable regulation.
Note 3 to entry: A plan unit consists of area/volume (2D/3D) characterized by a (set of) boundary(ies). Typical
representations are high-density residential area, banking area, and heavy industry area.
3.1.6
spatial plan
zoning plan
set of documents that establish the strategic direction for the development of a given geographic area
Note 1 to entry: A spatial plan states the policies, priorities, programmes and land allocations that will implement the
strategic direction and influence the distribution of people and activities in spaces of various scales.
Note 2 to entry: Spatial plans can be developed for urban planning, regional planning, environmental planning,
landscape planning, national spatial plans, or spatial planning (3.1.7) at a federal or multinational level.

ISO 19152-5:2025(en)
3.1.7
spatial planning
method typically used by the public sector to influence the future distribution of activities in a space
3.1.8
spatial planning authority
entity mandated by the government to design, develop and implement spatial plans (3.1.6)
Note 1 to entry: Plans can be implemented after acceptance by relevant authorities.

spatial plan information shall be based on the core LADM concepts, namely Party, RRR, BAUnit, SpatialUnit,
2D/3D representations (in accordance with ISO 19107), VersionedObject (in accordance with ISO 19152-1),
and associated source documents (from ISO 19152-1).
UML models are designed according to ISO 19103 and ISO 19109.
5 Notation
The conceptual schema specified in this document is described using the Unified Modelling Language (UML),
following the guidance of ISO 19103 and ISO 19109.
Several model elements used in this schema are defined in other ISO geographic information International
Standards. By convention, within some ISO/TC 211 documents, names of UML classes, with the exception
of basic data type classes, include a two-letter prefix that identifies the document and the UML package
in which the class is defined. This provides a global unique name for the class. UML classes defined in this
document have the two-letter prefix of SP. Table 2 lists the prefixes as used for some of the other parts of the
ISO 19152 series.

The relationship between the core LADM content (ISO 19152-1 and ISO 19152-2) and spatial plan
information (this document) is organized into a set of packages; see Figure 1. A subpackage is a group of
classes with a certain degree of cohesion. Each subpackage has its own namespace. Subpackages facilitate
the maintenance of different data sets by different organizations. The complete model can, therefore, be
implemented through a distributed set of (geo-)information systems, each supporting data maintenance
activities and the provision of elements of the model. The model can also be implemented by one or more
responsible organizations operating at a national, regional or local level. This underlines the relevance of
the model: different organizations have their own responsibilities in data maintenance and supply but can
communicate on the basis of standardized administrative and technical update processes.

packages of the core LADM (ISO 19152-1 and ISO 19152-2)
6.2 VersionedObject and spatial plan information package
The abstract class VersionedObject (see ISO 19152-1) is introduced in the core LADM to manage and maintain
historical data in the database. Versioning requires that inserted and superseded data be given a timestamp.
All LADM spatial plan information package classes inherit from VersionedObject, see Figure 2. There are
begin life span version attributes and end life span version attributes for recording system time and real-
world time in the class VersionedObject. In this way, the contents of the database can be reconstructed as
they were at any historical moment. Objects begin, change and end due to events, which are represented
in the source objects LA_SpatialSource and LA_AdministrativeSource; see Figure 8. VersionedObject has
a second set of optional temporal attributes (beginLifespanVersion, endLifespanVersion) that relate to the
corresponding real-world time, which can be in the future or planned.

6.3.1 General
1) PlanInformationDissemination
https:// standards .isotc211 .org/ 19152/ -5/ 1/ req/ spatialplan/ planinfo rmationdis semination
Requirement 1: Spatial plan information systems shall allow open dissemination and clear visualization
(2D/3D) of plan information (see 6.3.2).
2) PlanInformationMonitoring
https:// standards .isotc211 .org/ 19152/ -5/ 1/ req/ spatialplan/ plani nformation monitoring
Requirement 2: Spatial plan information systems shall support participatory plan monitoring to detect
challenges and evaluate alternative scenarios for making interventions (see 6.3.2).
6.3.2 Overview
In order to support participatory plan monitoring, the dissemination of plan information at all levels
is crucial for interested parties. This document advocates that all spatial plans be publicly shared and
monitored in a participatory way.
The spatial plan (SP) information package includes planned land use (zoning) to be converted into RRRs.
This package has five classes:
1) SP_PlanUnit,
2) SP_PlanBlock,
3) SP_PlanGroup,
4) SP_PlanGroupUnit,
5) SP_Permit, see Figure 3.
The package accommodates hierarchy (e.g. national/federal, regional/state, municipality/city, neighborhood)
in spatial planning in SP_PlanGroup.
Complete contents or parts of the spatial plan information package are available for plan information
dissemination or plan information monitoring, or both.
Figure 3 — Basic classes of the LADM spatial plan information package
The spatial plan information package reuses LA classes (ISO 19152-1 and ISO 19152-2) to represent spatial
planning from the party package and the administrative package. This package models parties involved
in providing legal aspects (RRR) from spatial planning processes using the class LA_Party. The spatial

ISO 19152-5:2025(en)
representation (geometry and topology) of the classes SP_PlanUnit, SP_PlanBlock, and SP_PlanGroup is
provided by associating to the LA classes LA_BoundaryFace and LA_BoundaryFaceString; see Figure 6.

Requirement 3: Spatial plan information conformant with this document shall organize plan units (plan
zones) in plan blocks and plan group units in plan groups, as accepted plans by the relevant authorities for a
specified time interval (see 6.3.3, 6.3.4, 6.3.6 and 6.3.7).
4) SpatialSubfunction
https:// standards .isotc211 .org/ 19152/ -5/ 1/ req/ spatialplan/ spatialsubfunction
Requirement 4: Effective land administration systems for spatial plan information conformant with this
document shall provide an extensible code list for the spatial (sub)functions of plan units and plan blocks
according to national/local regulations (see 6.3.3 and 6.3.4).
6.3.3 SP_PlanUnit
SP_PlanUnit represents homogenous smallest areas/spaces of zoning plans and their characteristics in
zoning plan activities, see Figure 4. The example code list values of the spatial plan information package
are shown in Figure 5. Each unit of a zone in SP_PlanUnit has specific RRRs derived from spatial planning
processes. Instances of class SP_PlanUnit describe rights that have an effect over a spatial extent. Powers
to create and manage these rights are based on an administrative source, as instances from class LA_
AdministrativeSource, see Figure 8. The rights described in each instance of class SP_PlanUnit result in
encumbrances that introduce restrictions or responsibilities for landowners (and some other right holders).
Where an encumbrance exists, the land owner (or other relevant right holder) can apply for a permit that
provides express permission for the encumbrance to be waived (see Figure 4 and 6.3.6).
A SP_PlanUnit is the smallest homogenous unit with respect to land use (development). This can cover
multiple LA_SpatialUnit or their parts. LA_SubSpatialUnit (homogenous with respect to land use, see
ISO 19152-1:2024, 5.6, and ISO 19152-2:2025, Figure D.21, for LA_SubSpatialUnit details) is used as an
interface object between LA_SpatialUnit and SP_PlanUnit.
In addition to VersionedObject (from ISO 19152-1), the lineage relationship can also be used to model
successor and predecessor; see the updated relationship in Figure 4.
An instance of class SP_PlanUnit is a spatial planning zoning unit. SP_PlanUnit is aggregated to one [1]
instance of SP_PlanBlock and has one or more [1.*] instances of LA_AdministrativeSource (see ISO 19152-2).
A spatial plan unit is associated with zero or more [0.*] instances of LA_SubSpatialUnit, see Figure 8.
The attributes of SP_PlanUnit are as shown in Table 4.
