GIS Projects and systematic land registration in Romania : Brasov case study
Savoiu, Ciprian et al.
Land is one of the most valuable assets of a country. In Brasov, one of the biggest cities from Romania with over 300 000 habitants interest in land is high. Municipality, as the tax authority, is one of the stakeholder for which land is the main source of incomes. However, taxes are better collected when the registration of land is complete and integrated in one database. In 2006, Brasov Municipality started a GIS project to create a spatial database that involves ortophoto production, field survey, buildings cadastre, utilities network cadastre, 3D City Model and digital cadastre correlation. The presentation focuses on bridging nowadays digital cadastre and Land Book cadastre since 18000s from Austro-Hungarian occupation. Land book and land book plans conversion, data interpretation, Land Book allocation and Data Validation are the main activities of this phase. Technical aspects are strongly connected with legal and juridical aspects. However, data interpretation is the key factor for the success of the project. Dealing with two different systems, from different ages, from different cultures was the biggest challenge of the project. The newly developed procedure of data correlation, applied for first time in Romania, describe how the local authorities and private companies dealt with this challenge. Last part of the presentation will draw the obstacles and bottlenecks faced during the project, from both legally and technically aspects. Furthermore, the integrated geospatial database complexity was increased with the requirements of INSPIRE Directive standards compliance. In conclusion, we will demonstrate that a GIS project is a prerequisite for systematic land registration.
