The land administration system, providing a mechanism to support the management of real properties, is one of the most crucial infrastructures of any country. This infrastructure is needed to support ...planning and implementation of land-related policies, and in general to support human decisions and activities in our environment. The fundamental part of a modern land administration system is the land cadastre. Over the last decade, the demand for three-dimensional (3D) cadastre has increased significantly worldwide. The physical and legal complexities of the built and natural environment prompt new concepts and definitions of real property units in order to meet the demands of a today's society and to balance private and public spatial interests. Particularly in urban areas, including other areas with intensive human interventions into space, there is a tendency to use space above and below the Earth's surface, above and below structures, etc. Complex 3D objects cannot be defined and registered as cadastral objects in the traditional 2D land cadastre and represented in a 2D cadastral map. For this purpose, next to the land cadastre, in 2000, Slovenia introduced the building cadastre. From the juridical point of view, the current cadastral system is not sufficient for all 3D situations. In this paper, we discuss upgrade possibilities of data models of the land cadastre and building cadastre to introduce a unique 3D real property cadastre in Slovenia. We believe that the data available in the current cadastres will significantly contribute toward the 3D real property cadastre and 3D graphical representation of cadastral data; nevertheless, some additional data are needed. The minimum data required could be provided already through the current cadastral procedures.
•Complex 3D real property objects cannot be always registered and graphically represented in 2D cadastral maps.•The physical and legal complexity of the environment prompts new concepts of real property units in LAS.•The 2D parcel-oriented cadastre can be upgraded into a 3D real property cadastre in Slovenia.•The data required for 3D cadastral modeling could be provided through the current cadastral procedures in Slovenia.
The topic of this paper is the challenges of using remote sensing technologies as one of the potential data sources for the establishment of a 3D real property cadastre in Slovenia. More than a ...decade ago, the legal basis for the registration of property rights on the buildings and parts of buildings was provided in Slovenia, and for this purpose, the Building Cadastre was established. The analyses of the current data within the Land Cadastre and the Building Cadastre revealed that the 3D graphical representation of buildings, where the second level of detail (LoD 2) was discussed, requires additional data in which significant roof points should be additionally acquired. For this purpose, i.e. the creation of a graphical 3D-model of a building at the level LoD 2, we use the cadastral and national topographic data that covers the entire state territory, which are stereopairs of aerial photographs of the cyclic aerial survey (CAS) and airborne laser scanning data. Using a case study, we have analysed and discussed the appropriateness of the state airborne laser scanning data as an additional data source, along with the current cadastral data, for the creation of 3D-building model at the second level of detail, which is important from the cadastral as well as topographic perspective.
