Cadastre 2014A vision for a future cadastral
system

• 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

Cadastre 2014A vision for a future cadastral
system

• 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
  todays systems.
