Abstract. Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The concept of sustainability of development, first defined in the Brundtland Report in 1986, has gradually increased in importance over time and has become a constantly emphasized issue on the United Nations (UN) agenda. In this context, SDG 11 is to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Goal 11 is to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Cities represent the future of global life. This article aims to design SDG 11 to align with its main objectives and investigate its applicability. In this context, integrating the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) into land administration systems plays a crucial role in aligning spatial data management with the principles of Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11) and its sub-targets. SDG 11 emphasizes the need for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urban development, requiring a robust spatial data infrastructure that effectively represents property rights, restrictions, and responsibilities (RRR) while supporting dynamic land management. This study presents a Unified Modelling Language (UML)-based methodological framework that facilitates the integration of LADM to ensure compliance with SDG 11 indicators. The proposed framework enhances the ability to model, manage, and analyse land tenure, land use, and urban governance, providing structured geospatial representations that align with sustainability objectives.
