    The cadastral survey requirements of developing countries in the Pacific region: with particular reference to Fiji
    Williamson, Ian P. (Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE), 1982)
    The cadastral survey systems introduced into many developing Pacific countries during colonial eras often do not meet the social and economic demands placed on them at the present time. Such systems can seriously limit the availability and transfer of land hence restricting the development and economic advancement of a country .This paper considers the subject generally although particular reference is made to the system presently operating in Fiji.

The legal, and particularly the technical procedures in creating a cadastre are discussed. The use of ground and photogrammetric survey techniques are highlighted. The reasons for restricting, the introduction of efficient cadastral survey systems are considered. Thailand is used as an example of a country which has, shown much flexibility in improving its cadastral system to better meet the needs of its developing economy. In this regard, the institutional and legal arrangements in the Thai cadastral system are described, as is the development of the cadastral survey system. As an indication of continuing flexibility, the future direction of 1he Thai cadastral, system is discussed.

    Coordination of cadastral surveys in New South Wales
    Williamson, Ian P. ( 1984-12)
    A review is made of all major attempts and recommendations to introduce coordination of cadastral surveys into New South Wales. The review covers the period from the first directives by the Government for a general survey in the 1820s, to the proposals to introduce coordination based on the Integrated Survey Grid in the 1970s. An attempt is made to draw some conclusions from the historical review which will assist in the introduction of some form of coordination of cadastral surveys in the future.

    The development of the cadastral survey system in New South Wales
    Williamson, Ian P. ( 1984-03)
    This article reviews the development of the cadastral survey system in N.S.W. Particular emphasis is given to an understanding of why the system developed based on isolated survey principles. In reviewing the development, three critical periods have been considered: early survey administration, ‘1788- 1831; the formative years, 183l-1864; and refinement, 1864-present’.

    Lessons from the Swedish land data bank system
    Williamson, Ian P. ( 1987-12)
    In 1985 the Victorian Government contracted consultants from the Swedish Central Board for Real Estate Data to assist in a study into the development of the Victorian land information system (LIS) with emphasis on the development and role of an automated land titles system within the LIS. This paper suggests it is beneficial for Victoria to have a broad understanding of the Swedish system in order to put any recommendations in perspective. As a consequence the paper reviews the Swedish cadastral and land information system, and highlights lessons and issues derived from the Swedish system which may benefit the development of land information systems in Victoria as well as other jurisdictions in Australia.
