fig congress 2018 - Analysis of the multipurpose cadastre use for risk and disaster management in Colombia.
Sandra Rodriguez, Daniel Paez, Ricardo Camacho,
Currently, in Colombia, cadastre is a field with a very limited range of development. It is outdated in 63.9% of the 15’768,188 identified properties in the country and has not yet been implemented in 28.5% of Colombian territory (IGAC, 2015). Moreover, is inefficient in the field of mapping and data gathering, which doesn’t have an optimal standardized process that gathers the necessary tools, in order to avoid inadequate and redundant activities that can lead to a higher cost of public policy implementation. For this reason, the Colombian government has proposed a new design for a multipurpose cadastre system within the peace process framework, with the objective being to improve information on property to prioritize public investment and guarantee property rights and regulation. In accordance with the previous arguments, the objective of this paper is to analyze the use of this new cadastre system in risk management and indicate the importance of the integration of these two tools to identify, analyze, evaluate and treat the possible risks. The way in which the integration of land administration information processes and risk management is considered essential for the achievement of effective practices and agile response to hazard events in developing countries will be studied. Also, the role and function of the multipurpose cadastre will be evaluated and the way in which it could support risk management through technical aspects and institutional changes. Analysis
