    Abstract
    This paper provides an introduction to best practice in land administration systems. It draws ona number of key documents such as the Land Administration Guidelines produced for theUnited Nations (UN) Economic Commission for Europe (1996), the International Federation ofSurveyors (FIG) Statement on the Cadastre (1995), the UN-FIG Bogor Declaration onCadastral Reform (1996), the FIG Cadastre 2014 publication (1998) and the UN-FIG BathurstDeclaration on Land Administration for Sustainable Development (1999).It also draws on a wide range of publications concerned with best practice in the developmentof cadastral and land administration infrastructures, as well as the author's experience overmany years.
