Cadastre 2014Cadastre 2014A vision for a future cadastral systemA vision for a future cadastral system

July 2005




The cadastral systems in developed countries attempt to be too perfect Aim of cadastral reform project is to improve services of the cadastral systems The automation of cadastral systems is widely seen as an appropriate tool to improve the performance of cadastral systems (re.engineering the procedure) The innovation of cadastral systems tends to be in the direction that cadastral systems will be embedded in land information systems

July 2005




Cost recovery and privatization issues are increasingly important within the context of cadastres “Cadastre 2014” will be a complete documentation of public and private rights and restrictions for land owners and users“Cadastre 2014 “ can provide optimal services to the different societies at a lower cost than today’s systems.
