Land administration definitions

• The processes of regulating land and property
  development and the use and conservation of land,
  the gathering of revenues from the land through
  sales, leasing and taxation, and the resolving of
  conflicts concerning the ownership and use of
  land (Dale and McLaughlin, 1999)

9
Land administration definitions

• Land administration is the process of
  determining, recording and disseminating
  information about the tenure, value and use of
  land when implementing land management policies
  (UNECE, 1996).
• It is considered to include land registration,
  cadastral surveying and mapping, fiscal, legal
  and multi-purpose cadastres and parcel based land
  information systems, and in many systems
  information supporting land use planning and
  valuation/land taxation systems.

10
Land administration definitions

• Those public sector activities required to
  support the alienation, use, valuation, and
  transfer of land (Dale and McLaughlin, 1999)
• The functions involved in implementing land
  management policies.

11
The definition of cadastre

• A cadastre is the core or basis of a land
  administration system and is defined as a parcel
  based and up-to-date land information system
  containing a record of interests in land (e.g.
  rights, restrictions and responsibilities).
• It usually includes a geometric description of
  land parcels linked to other records describing
  the nature of the interests, and ownership or
  control of those interests, and often the value
  of the parcel and its improvements (FIG, 1995).

Land Management

• "the management of all aspects of land including
  the formation of land policies" (Dale

• "the process of managing the use and development
  of land resources in a sustainable way." (Bill
  Robertson, 1998)

  effectiveness

Re-engineering land administration systems

• Managing land in developed countries continues to
  be problematic with historic tenures and
  agricultural practices eg Australia
• Managing land in developing countries is a
  particular problem where rapid population growth
  causes increasing pressure on rural areas,
  forests and indigenous peoples, while at the same
  time causing massive migration to the cities
