An Evaluation of the National Program of Systematic Land Registration in Romania Using the Fit for Purpose Spatial Framework Principles

Abstract

The National Program of Systematic Land Registration aims to register all land property in Romania by 2023. The goal has proven difficult to achieve, as by June 2022 only 4% of the localities in the country were completed. The aim of this research is to find the similarities and differences between the fit for purpose principles of land administration for the spatial framework and the practices in The Romanian National Program of Systematic Land Registration. This is the first study that analyzes the Romanian land registration program through the lens of the fit for purpose concept. The research shows that there are similarities with the fit for purpose spatial framework principles for the use of aerial images and the participatory nature of the process. However, The National Program of Systematic Land Registration uses almost exclusively fixed boundaries and does not have different standards of accuracy and procedures for incremental improvement. Registering the parcels earlier in the process, flexibility for accuracy, and technical standards and regulations for incremental improvement of the system can speed up the registration in a fit for purpose manner.

“…This study was approached from a positivist paradigm point of view, using quantitative methods, as presented in Figure 1 [ 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”

“…In the positivist paradigm, the truth is found via quantitative research, meaning that the phenomena are quantifiable and can be measured. Furthermore, positivist methodologies do not take into consideration the personal experience that people have, only the measurable facts [ 50 ].…”

“…One of the reasons behind the choice of this type of approach was the fact that the reliability of the results is high and can be generalized, and another reason was that a study such as this one is capable of offering an overview of the researched problem [ 50 ].…”
