•Approximately 11 million cadastral parcels were produced in 3 years.•The cadastre investment could be recovered within approximately 20 years as a result of Revolving Fund Enterprise revenues.•The ...execution of the technical part of the cadastre by the private sector speeded up the project and, contrary to general beliefs, reduced costs.•Land disputes are largely eliminated in cadastre projects carried out by the private sector and controlled by the institution.•Cadastre projects with international donor organizations are beneficial for the improvement of the land administration of a country.
Land underpins most social, economic and an environmental activity, because of this, there was an urgent need in Turkey for the completion of a cadastre to be used by government decision-makers, landowners and real estate practitioners. For many years technical, financial, and social problems affected the execution of many land-related projects in Turkey. In 2005, a land cadastre project was designed, called Cadastre Completion Project and implemented over the following three years. This paper presents a review of the Turkish cadastral system in terms of its administration, technical, and organizational structure followed by a critical analysis of the design and development of the Cadastre Completion Project. Findings in this paper draw upon project appraisal documents and data obtained from the cadastre institutions specifically looking at the relationship between the quality and completion of Turkey’s cadastre. Value for Money assessment of the Project is based on a financing model that included costs for surveying the land parcels, the quantity of work, cost recovery, the participation of the private sector, and land disputes. This review demonstrated that the technical execution of the cadastre, undertaken by the private sector speeded up the project and, contrary to general beliefs, it reduced costs. Further, that the cadastre investment could be recovered within approximately 20 years as a result of revolving fund enterprise revenues, noting this excludes taxes and duties paid to the state. Furthermore, the revolving fund could also be a serious resource for corporate finance. Thus, the Cadastre Completion Project highlights the importance of international finance institutions, that do play a significant role in realizing such a large-size cadastre project as described in this paper.
•The land management and cadastre system in Turkey has been evaluated in terms of the legal, institutional and technical.•The SWOT-AHP method can be used to develop strategies.•Cadastre 2034 ...principles were taken in considerationin strategy development.•The strategies could be used to develop more efficient and targeted land management and cadastre policy.
This study aimed to identify the current land management and cadastre system in Turkey and determine the most appropriate strategy for integrating the current structure with the principles of the Cadastre 2034 vision. In this work, the legal, institutional, and technical (LIT) status of the existing land management and cadastre system in Turkey was determined using a method based on Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Initially, the advantages or weaknesses of the existing land management and cadastre system in Turkey in terms of LIT aspects, opportunities, and threats arising from the external environment were determined by the SWOT matrix. Then, the information obtained concerning the existing land management and cadastre system in Turkey using this matrix was integrated into AHP and the most appropriate strategy was determined in terms of LIT aspects. For the existing land management and cadastre system in Turkey, from the legal point of view, the best strategy with a weighting of 30% was to ‘update the land administration legislation according to the conditions of the day’. The best strategy in terms of institutionalization was to ‘disseminate in-vocational training for the training of qualified personnel (28% weighting)’ and the best strategy from the technical perspective was identified as, ‘the use of technical and technologically advanced measurement techniques in spatial data collection (38% weighting)’. The goal in implementing the AHP-Based SWOT method is to improve the quantitative information basis of strategic planning processes. So, SWOT provides the basic outline within which to perform an analysis of the decision situation, and the AHP assists in carrying out SWOT more analytically and in elaborating the analysis so that alternative strategic decisions can be prioritised.

An efficiently operating cadastral system may provide the basis for all processes for the purposes of rational and effective property management. The cadastre existing in Poland originates from the ...13th century’s tradition of land management. However, the work on the construction of an IT cadastral system was only initiated with the issuance of Regulation on the Land and Property Register in 1996. The implementation of its provisions resulted in errors visible in the cadastral documentation up to the present day. Currently, the Land and Property Register i.e. a public register serves the function of the cadastre in Poland. Regulation of 1996 initiated the stage of transition of (both descriptive and graphic) documents from analogue forms to digital data carriers. Most often, this was done by means of scanning or digitisation of the existing resources. As demonstrated by earlier studies, the process often failed to include the updating of maps and the verification of the compliance of the descriptive part of the Register Documentation with its graphic part. Moreover, significant inconsistencies were observed between the data originating from the Land and Property Register and the Land and Mortgage Register i.e. a register of rights to properties. Low accuracy of the cadastral data, and the incompleteness of sets of spatial data about cadastral objects create a significant barrier to the construction of a modern cadastral system in Poland. This study constitutes the analysis for the construction of a multidimensional cadastre in Poland, and to identify the groups of problems associated with its implementation. Based on detailed analyses of regulation and conducted case studies, a possibility was indicated for a gradual evolution of cadastral data from the 2D dimension to 3D. The study considered technical and legal conditions of designing cadastral systems worldwide. The proposed solution offers an opportunity to accelerate the construction of a cadastral system which is an effective tool of property management policy in Poland.
A major fraction of building materials is transformed into waste at the end of a building's life cycle. For sustainability reasons, it is of importance to maintain or recycle urban stocks, and in ...consequence to minimise the use of primary resources, wherefore a Material Passport (MP) represents an important support-tool. A MP acts as a design optimisation tool, as well as an inventory of all materials embedded in a building and displays the recycling potential and environmental impact of buildings. In this paper, the proof of concept for a MP is demonstrated on a use case, which is a residential building, whereby a variant in timber and a variant in concrete construction are evaluated. Results show that the recycling potential of the concrete variant is better; however, concrete leads to more waste, due to its significantly higher mass in comparison with timber. The comparison of the environmental impact of the variants shows, that the variant in timber has a significantly lower impact to the environment, than the variant in concrete. Results also show that the MP-methodology has large potentials for improving the recyclability of new buildings as well as for making assumptions for upcoming materials through displaying embedded materials of existing buildings.
The accelerated exploration of sub-surface mineral resources across much of Africa has created the need for proper administration of sub-surface land rights. The trend world-wide is a separate ...cadastre for mining. The reasons advanced for this separation are: the relatively short-term (issued as leases) nature of the mining rights, the mining laws relate exclusively to the right of exploiting minerals and are not modifying the property right; the boundaries of these rights are not linked to the limits of the "property" rights; the need for independence of decision regarding minerals and mining. The link between the mining and surface property cadastre is established during the application process of the mining license, the consent from the owners of the surface land rights is required. The land in question is then identified in relation to the cadastral coordinates defining the mineral right area and this information is kept in the mining cadastre.

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir e apresentar uma proposta de gestão sistêmica para a administração do sistema cadastral brasileiro a nível nacional, envolvendo os aspectos relacionados à ...estrutura organizacional, compartilhamento de responsabilidades na perspectiva administrativa, questões técnicas e legais. Foram apresentados os principais documentos elaborados durante as conferências internacionais da ONU, bem como trabalhos científicos fortalecendo a necessidade e importância da consolidação de estruturas nacionais e a descrição da estrutura organizacional do cadastro de alguns países. Buscou-se também apresentar uma visão do cadastro brasileiro, apresentando a história e estrutura organizacional do cadastro urbano e rural, e uma visão sobre a governança de terras para o Brasil. A proposta para estruturação sistêmica para o cadastro brasileiro teve foco principalmente na lacuna dos cadastros urbanos municipais, bem como nas respectivas validações desses cadastros e de outros cadastros territoriais temáticos produzidos no Brasil, sem rigor técnico. A proposta apresentada passa pelo estabelecimento de um Sistema Nacional de Cadastro Territorial (SNCT) e sua estrutura operacional, bem como pela criação de um Serviço Nacional de Certificação para o Cadastro Territorial (SNCCT), integrados e articulados com estruturas já existentes - o Sistema Nacional de Gestão de Informações Territoriais (SINTER) e o Comitê Nacional de Certificação e Credenciamento (CNCC/INCRA/SIGEF). A proposta, portanto, está aderente às tendências internacionais de desenvolvimento de sistemas cadastrais com base em iniciativas e estruturas existentes, aproveitando as expertises e capacidade tecnológica e gerencial produzida.
