“…The comparative analyses of cadastral systems have been the subjects of many publications and studies in world literatures (LARSSON, 1991;GA~DZICKI, 1995;STEUDLER et al, 1998;MOLA, 1998;BO-GAERTS, 1998).…”

The conception of an efficient cadastral system is an important element in the development of each country. It is crucial for the efficient operation of the real estate market--the security and liberty of making transactions, registering a property, planning operations, the introduction of an ad valorem tax on property and more rational use of space. In Europe there are different types of eadastral systems, because the countries in Europe have different cultural backgrounds, different economical and social backgrounds. Through the centuries, many types of cadastral systems evolved and their differences often depend upon local cultural heritage, physical geography, land use, technology, etc. Comparative analyses of cadastral systems have been the subjects of many publications and studies in world literature. It was assessed that the useful tools in conducting comparative analyses of various cadastral systems include the procedures of statistical inference. This paper presents the results of a project to compare the performance of ten cadastral systems internationally by creating appropriate integrated indicators of a eadastral system using statistical technique. Such indicators will make it possible to compare different eadastral systems and present them hierarchically in relation to their quality, structure, as well as legal, organizational and technological solutions. From a good number of methods available, techniques originating from two spheres of statistic inference were selected: distribution free methods and multivariate analysis methods. For analyses with the distribution free methods, FRIEDMAN's test (FRIENDMAN's non-parametric variance analysis) as well as KENDALL's test (KENDALL's compatibility ratio) were selected. For analyses with the multivariate analysis methods, factor analysis was selected.

“…Moreover, it is difficult to compare the performance of cadastral systems since they do not have one standard style of technical management. The primary anticipated benefits in the land administration realm of the unifying or merging of the two types of activities into one organisation are claimed to be: (1) the improvement of customer service given the single point of entry and delivery; (2) provision of better quality in data and services; (3) increase of efficiency within processes and in between organisations; (4) improved relation between government agencies and citizens; (5) a more efficient operation of land markets (Steudler et al 1997;Kaufman & Steudler 1998;Bogaerts & Zevenbergen 2001;Williamson & Ting 2001).…”

Merger in land data handling, blending of cultures

Land administration concerns the handling of spatial and legal data on land. In many countries this is executed by two separate agencies, cadastres and land registries. Despite international literature claiming that merging such agencies is more effective for the data handling, in practice staff within land agencies tend to struggle with such mergers. This article reviews the case of the Swedish land administration merger to study this phenomenon. The review uses cultural theory to understand individual perspectives on mergers, and uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis to uncover co-existing values before and after the merger. Surprisingly the post-merger agency exhibits a stronger preference for hierarchical rules and peer control in data handling than the pre-merger agency, even though staff relations have remained relatively flat.Hence, values of staff members may change in different ways than what one would require for a change toward integrated data handling.

“…At present, there is no systematic worldwide monitoring of cadastres, although Commission 7 of the FIG is attempting to provide for monitoring of this nature (Steudler & Kaufmann 2002) Cadastres are almost always restricted to land tenure, based on Western common law and civil codes (statutory land tenure); cadastres would appear to have difficulties with catering for other forms of land tenure , Burns 2007.…”

Fair Land Governance. How to Legalise Land Rights for Rural Development

The Leiden University Press series on Law, Governance, and Development brings together an interdisciplinary body of work about the formation and functioning of legal systems in developing countries, and about interventions to strengthen them. The series aims to engage academics, policy makers and practitioners at the national and international level, thus attempting to stimulate legal reform for good governance and development.

Contents In the Face of Two ParadigmsIn this volume of essays the authors reflect on legal means to improve the position of the many smallholders in the developing world who live and work on land that they do not officially own. From quite different perspectives they explore how to provide more tenure security through better land law. The authors recognise that for rural development an appropriate land law is necessary but not sufficient. They also realise that ideas about what precisely constitutes an appropriate land law have for too long been informed by two contradictory paradigms, namely the 'install full private property' paradigm and the 'leave customary law undisturbed' paradigm. The essays in this volume demonstrate that the full private property approach, which has come to dominate international and domestic land policies over the last decades, has major drawbacks. It has often done little good for rural smallholders as it neglected existing land management and land use practices which were embedded in local circumstances. The main assumption on which it rests -legal institutions can protect the poor man's legal rights -has unfortunately proved to be a gross overestimation of state capacities for effective and just land governance.On the other hand, the authors do not trust approaches which recommend 'leaving customary law undisturbed' either. Proponents of such approaches have tended to perceive rural communities as culturally distinct and tied to their land with collective landholding as the centrepiece of their arrangements. They favour rigorous legalisation of collective holding of land, by which the land is declared collective and inalienable. In the face of large-scale dispossession of local communities by state and corporate actors, this approach is often advocated as the only effective way to protect existing land rights. A Leiden-Based Research Project Featuring 'Third Ways'This book is the result of a Leiden-based research project on legalisation of land tenure. The project already resulted in a volume with studies from eight countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America entitled Legalising Land Rights (Ubink, Hoekema & Assies 2009).2 Both volumes show a tremendous variation in local circumstances as well as in t...
