THE UNIVERSAL PROPERTY IDENTITY CODE SYSTEM

The Natural Area Coding System has also produced an ideal property identity code system called the universal property identity code (UPIC). A UPIC is a ten-character NAC representing a 0.8 by 1.6 meter reference area of a property such as the main entrance door of a building, defined by the owner of the building. In very special cases, a 12-character NAC may be used as the UPIC of a property, which represents a 5 by 2.5 cm reference area of the property. The advantages of the system are:

  1. the UPIC is recognized universally. People do not need to mension any other address such as street, city, country of a property when the UPIC is known;

  2. the UPIC is permanently attached to the property and never change, which can save a lot of work when the political boundary changes;

  3. the UPIC can be directly pinpointed on all maps which include the property no matter what kind of scales they are;

  4. the natural order and natural layers of the UPIC can greatly simplify the databases of property registration information, significantly reduce the storage size and efficiently retrieve the information;

  5. the UPIC can also be used for other purposes such as postal services and emergency services due to its accurate information;

  6. the UPIC does not need to be assigned by government but can be found by owners themselves, which can save huge amount of cost for the government.
