    Cadastral futures: building a new vision for the nature and role of cadastres
    Bennet, Rohan ; Rjabifard, Abbas ; Kalantari, Mohsen ; WALLACE, JUDE ; WILLIAMSON, IAN (FIG Congress 2010, 2010)
    Over the last thirty years spatial information technologies and sustainability theory drove the creation of new visions, models and roles for the cadastre. Concepts including multi purpose cadastres, Cadastre 2014, and sustainable land administration radically altered understandings of the cadastre and its potential. Many of these concepts continue to be relevant in the contemporary context; however, like all disciplines, cadastral science must continue to look to the future to remain relevant. This paper begins this process and aims to provide preliminary insights into the characteristics and potential role of future cadastres. A qualitative research design based upon an exploratory case study underpins the research. Factors including globalisation, population urbanization, good governance, climate-change response, environmental management, 3D visualization/analysis technologies, wireless sensor networks, standardization, and interoperability are found to be driving developments in the cadastral domain. Consequently, six design elements of future cadastre emerge: Survey-Accurate Cadastres, Object-Oriented Cadastres, 3D/4D Cadastres, Real-Time Cadastres, Global Cadastres, and Organic Cadastres. Together, these elements provide a preliminary vision for the role and nature of future cadastres: the elements can be seen as likely characteristics of future cadastres. Collaborative research, potentially through the FIG framework, would enable further development of these design elements and would assist in defining the nature and role of future cadastral systems.

    Understanding land administration systems [1]
    Williamson, Ian Philip ; ENEMARK, STIG ; WALLACE, JUDE ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS (Centre of Geo-Information Technologies, 2008)
    This paper introduces basic land administration theory and highlights four key concepts that are fundamental to understanding modern land administration systems - firstly the land management paradigm and its influence on the land administration framework, secondly the role that the cadastre plays in contributing to sustainable development, thirdly the changing nature of ownership and the role of land markets, and lastly a land management vision that promotes land administration in support of sustainable development and spatial enablement of society. We present here the first part of the paper. The second part that focuses on the changing role of ownership and the role of land markets, and a land management vision will be published in November issue of Coordinates.

    Understanding land administration systems [2]
    Williamson, Ian Philip ; ENEMARK, STIG ; WALLACE, JUDE ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS (Centre of Geo-Information Technologies, 2008)
    This paper introduces basic land administration theory and highlights four key concepts that are fundamental to understanding modern land administration systems. Readers may recall the first part of the paper in October Issue of Coordinates. Here is the concluding part that focuses on the changing role of ownership and the role of land markets.
