Danish multipurpose cadastre : experiences so far

Skrubbeltrang, Jorgen

In Denmark the cadastral register and the cadastral map are digital. The mayor argument for computerising of the map was broader use of the cadastre. It was assumed that a digital cadastral map together with other digital maps could improve GIS use. Furthermore it was assumed that a digital cadastral map could increase the possibilities for registration of property regulations in the cadastre. The aim was a multipurpose cadastre. Since 1997 four new themes have been registered in the Danish cadastre. The four all are the registration of regulations according to new land use legislations. Regional authorities carry out the practical registration of the themes. The implementations of the registrations have been top down. The top down implementation and the new users give some challenges for the cadastral authority the NSC - to make the processes of the registrations of the new themes efficient and to make the quality of the registrations sufficient. The challenges of the multipurpose cadastre have legal, organisational and technological aspects. The challenges and the aspects are primarily related to the use of a digital cadastral map. Depending on the point of view one of the biggest challenges have been building up and maintaining cadastral knowledge at new users of the cadastre.
