    The cadastral "Tool Box" a framework for reform
    Williamson, I. P. ( 2002)
    Cadastres are a core component of land administration systems and an importantinfrastructure which facilitates the implementation of land use policies. While mostcadastral systems traditionally have a primary objective of supporting the operation ofland markets, they increasingly play a key role in a broader land administrationinfrastructure which supports economic development, environmental management andsocial stability in both developed and developing countries.In this context, this paper outlines the concept of a cadastral "tool box" which allowsstates or jurisdictions to undertake cadastral reform by selecting the most appropriateland policies, legal concepts, institutional arrangements and technical solutions. In thispaper a reference to land administration is also a reference to the cadastre which is thecentral component of a land administration system.In developing the cadastral "tool box", the paper reviews the three dimensions of aland administration system. Firstly the wide range of humankind to land relationshipswithin any state or jurisdiction which require different cadastral strategies for eachrelationship. Secondly these humankind to land relationships and the resultingcadastral responses are dynamic and are continually evolving. Lastly countries are atdifferent stages of development and as a result require different strategies andconsequently different components from the cadastral "tool box" in order to servetheir needs.This paper focuses on the needs of the urban poor regarding access to land andsecurity of tenure however the concepts are equally applicable to non urban areas.

    CADASTRE 2014: new challenges and direction
    Krelle, Anna ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS (FIG Congress 2010, 2010)
    Land and land related activities form part of the basis of all economies and therefore the societies they support. Land is managed through land administration, with successful economies relying on effective land administration systems. At the core of land administration is the cadastre. Cadastre 2014 is a strategic document published in 1998 by FIG that contains six core statements and a vision for future cadastral systems. However, many developments, issues and challenges have emerged since 1998, requiring that Cadastre 2014 be re-assessed in light of these, to ensure that its statements and vision align with current and future needs of society. This paper provides an analysis of the Cadastre’s strategic statements against the current needs and challenges of society, offering recommendations for each statement. The aim is to contribute to Cadastre 2014to ensure it most effectively supports cadastral systems of today and in the future.
