“…Un système cadastral est beaucoup plus complexe que ce que l'ensemble des plans et registres le constituant ne peuvent le laisser transparaî-tre. Ainsi, les études cadastrales reposent régulièrement sur la méthode de l'étude de cas, parce qu'elle permet de prendre en considération les caractéristiques du contexte spécifi que d'utilisation du cadastre (Steudler et Kaufmann, 2002 ;Silva et Stubkjaer, 2002). Le recours à cette approche méthodologique demeure un phénomène récent puisque, historiquement, le cadastre a été traité et analysé comme un outil technique seulement, ses autres dimensions ayant été occultées.…”

“…Botswana is one of the countries that still (Williamson, 2001). In developing countries, cadastres have been associated with land title registrations that support security of tenure, poverty alleviation and sustainable development (Silva & Stubkjaer, 2002). In 2000, Williamson noted seven principles that applied worldwide with regard to land administration systems: a) land policy, b) land tenure, c) Land administration and cadastre, d) institutional, e) spatial data infrastructure (SDI), f) Technical and g) human resource development (Williamson, 2000).…”

PGIS Based Land Information Mapping and Map Updating to Support Rural Community Knowledge Building

This paper outlines an approach developed to assist a rural community in Botswana to utilise Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to compile and update a village land parcels dataset. The work is based on a PhD research work which was carried out at a remote rural village, where participatory action research was employed. Participation is defined as learning and the Participatory Geographic Information Science (PGIS) framework was considered to be appropriate. The contention here is that community learning is a pre-condition for successful implementation of human development interventions. The PGIS activity itself served mainly to anchor the learning of the creation of the database, the construction of knowledge and its contribution to improve individual household livelihoods. The rationale here is that the database design process can be devolved to ordinary language so that the attention is drawn more to the subsequent use of the data rather than to its compilation. Therefore the PGIS was envisaged as interacting objects and people, relations among them and the role of the containing space. It was also anticipated that in the process, the information would be conversed and the knowledge perceived, constructed and conceived. The basic essence of the PGIS approach was to use georeferenced digital colour aerial photographs and on screen digitizing (OSD) to create land parcels vectors and use the plotted land parcels as references to update the village plot layouts by measuring and scaling in the missing plots at the field. The GIS based mapping was preceded by entry and collaborative team building processes and basic training in computing, business process modeling, business calculations and business planning. This was followed by social survey focused on the poor and struggling members of the community. The produced PGIS artifact served to be the sink for all the produced data. The early conclusion that was drawn was that the PGIS serves as an effective instrument to help a rural community to create and construct knowledge and to strike the link with the political institutions that are intended to support citizens to improve their living standards.

“…Land registration means 'a process of official recording of rights in land through deeds or title (on properties)' (Zevenbergen, 2002, p. 1). Noting different interpretations of the term 'cadastre', Silva and Stubkjaer (2002) find support for defining cadastre as 'a systematic and official description of land parcels, which includes for each parcel a unique identifier'. The description includes text records on attributes of each parcel.…”

“…The prototypical means of identification is a large-scale map that provides information on parcel boundaries (p. 410). Cadastre and land registers were born and evolved separately; later a combination of these dual systems was dubbed cadastral systems (see Zevenbergen and Bogaerts, 2000;Silva and Stubkjaer, 2002). However, as different countries interpret the term cadastre in different ways, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) introduced the term of land administration by the Land Administration Guidelines in 1996, particularly for countries in transition.…”

a b s t r a c tThe multitude of rights in land and the recording of these rights are addressed by a number of studies, yet a recognized paradigm for such studies seems missing. Rights in land are recorded and managed through either cadastral systems or land administration systems depending on the legal system of the countries concerned. The cadastre, however, is the core of both systems as it provides for systematic and official descriptions of land parcels or real property units. The research mentioned often has a development perspective, and in this article we will motivate the introduction of the research domain of cadastral development. This research is multi-disciplinary and draws on elements of theories and methodologies from the natural, the social, the behavioral, and the formal sciences. During the last decade or so, doctoral dissertations have come to constitute a substantial part of this research effort. The article focuses on the methodological aspect of doctoral research by analyzing ten doctoral dissertations. Our analysis is based on a taxonomy of methodological elements and aims at identifying commonalities and differences among the dissertations in the use of concepts and methods. Having completed the main analysis, we invited the authors of the dissertations to comment upon our analysis of their work and the developed taxonomy. The responses corroborate the view that the taxonomy could be used for further analyses and provide for a framework for further doctoral research. The article concludes with a call for a shared terminology and a shared set of concepts which may contribute to further theory building within the cadastral domain.
