Harmonization of land registry and cadastre in Croatia
Blazevic, Mario
Land register and cadastre are competence of different institutions in Croatia. The data is mostly not harmonized between those registers and doesnnt match the actual situation on the ground. Harmonization of land register and cadastral data into one unique Land Data Base as integrated Land Register and Real Estate Cadastre is a goal. It is an extensive and time consuming process with many involved parties within various stages of a harmonization. Phases of harmonization are: preparation of data and planning of new cadastral survey, performing new cadastral survey and data acquisition on a designated area, public display of data collected by cadastral survey altogether with renewal/establishing of land book, forming an initial state of data in LDB. What remains at the end of every harmonization is maintenance of data in Land register and Cadastre in order to keep the achieved situation harmonized in future use. Thus, the whole process is yet not fully legally regulated and is performed in various phases by various actors, usage of a unique support brings up an order to a process and establishes certain standards. Considering the fact that company IGEA ltd. provides support to a various stages/phases of harmonization, but not being part of the system, we can provide a technical insight to a whole process from outside. The paper describes the main phases of common process of harmonization, with an overview on various situations that could be found on the field. These situations vary, depending on availability and condition of inbound cadastral and land register data, from totally disharmonized data between Land register and cadastre to a harmonized data between themselves. Depending on a situation, process of harmonization can be: new survey, re-survey or just a renewal of data found in land register and cadastre.
