Land administration in a cadastre-less environment
Rawlins, Dylan
The process of land administration is under constant social, political, economic and environmental pressure. As such, it requires a constant flow of information between land owners, users and administrators. The unit of land information is commonly the land parcel. This parcel-based information forms the cadastral system. It follows that land administration in a cadastre-lesss environment is problematic because of the lack of these basic units of land information. Therefore, the creation of a spatial level of land information is practically a pre-requisite for a coherent land administration framework. This paper explores two examples of how practitioners have created an informal cadastre in order to facilitate land administration for the purposes of land reform and the administration of informal settlements in a local government environment.
