    Capacity building in land administration - a conceptual approach
    ENEMARK, STIG ; Williamson, Ian P. (CASLE, 2004)
    Capacity building is increasingly seen as a key component of land administration projects in developing and countries in transition undertaken by the international development banks and individual country development assistance agencies. However, the capacity building concept is often used within a narrow meaning such as focusing on staff development through formal education and training programmes to meet the lack of qualified personnel in a project in the short term. This article argues that capacity building measures should be addressed in the wider context of developing institutional infrastructures for implementing land policies in a sustainable way. Where a project is established to create land administration infrastructures in developing or transition countries, it is critical that capacity building is a mainstream component, not as an add-on, which is often the case. In fact such projects should be dealt with as capacity building projects in themselves. The article introduces a conceptual analytical framework that provides some guidance when dealing with capacity building for land administration in support of a broader land policy agenda.

    The Cadastral Template Project
    Steudler, D. ; Williamson, I. P. ; Rajabifard, A. ; Enemark, S. ( 2004)
    While many country reports have been compiled in the area of land administration over thelast decade, there has not much attention been given to the basic cadastral issues. As a result,one of the objectives of Working Group 3 "Cadastre" of the PCGIAP is the establishment of acadastral template, which is basically a standard form to be filled out by cadastralorganizations presenting their national cadastral system. The aims are to understand the rolethat a cadastre plays in a state or national SDI and to compare best practice as a basis forimproving cadastres as a key component of SDIs.The work of the PCGIAP-Working Group 3 "Cadastre" is being done in collaboration withCommission 7 "Cadastre and Land Management" of the International Federation ofSurveyors (FIG), which has extensive experience in comparative cadastral studies. Thisarticle describes the creation and the content of the cadastral template and the expectedoutcomes.
