FIG Commission 7 held his annual meeting from Sept. 26th to 30th 2011 in the wonderful city of Innsbruck, Austria. This very successful event culminated with the high level International Symposium Cadastre 2.0. This meeting welcomed delegates from\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

30 countries among them FIG Vice President Professor Chryssy Potsiou, former Chairs of Commission 7 Andrzej Hopfer, Ian Williamson, Paul MunroFaure andAndr\u00e1s Ossk\u00f3. Without any doubt, issues related to land administration and cadastral perspectives are still of very high interest, namely in regard of citizens\u2019 involvement, crowd sourcing and social medias. And to completion of cadastre and land registration in the developing world, this concerns about 75% of the 6 billion or so spatial units in use by humans on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Issues Discussed<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The future of cadastre is high on the agenda of the FIG Commission 7. J\u00fcrg Kaufmann and Ian Williamson shared their thoughts with the Commission.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Many discussions about one hand the need for a AAA Cadastre (Accurate, Authoritative, Assured) for the some advanced countries and on the other hand, the immediate need for low cost solutions to meet the challenge of population in developing countries. There are different opinions and solutions.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Developments of 3D cadastre have been discussed. This will be one of the important attention points in the work of the Commission, as well as management of government lands, pro poor land tools (with UN-HABITAT), spatial enabled societies, climate change, the cadastral template and the ISO Land Administration Domain Model.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • There was a contribution on the European Measurement Code for the floor and area of buildings and in general attention to condominium rights with cases from Italy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The technology will take over the work of surveyors in land registration more and more. This work can be done by many people based on a very short education. We will not see cadastral surveyors in the field so much in the future.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Surveyors\u2019 role and contribution to land administration is under change from field surveys to information and quality management of spatial data and being supportive and leading in developments of national spatial data infrastructures with a broad application range. This can only be done in close co-operation with professionals from other disciplines. Reliability of data is the key contribution of our profession.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • It will be possible that people develop their own cadastre based on infrastructures as Google and Facebook.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Developments of cadastral systems in Asia; e.g. Malaysia and Korea are very impressive; also in support of huge land reforms.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Our colleagues from Africa need support for their actions in relation to their governments. FIG will not take a position in political discussions, but will provide alternative approaches, checklists in implementation alternatives \u2013 e.g. in relation to land grabbing as it can be observed in many countries; in co-operation with FAO.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Disaster management and importance of cadastre was discussed. An example from Hungary illustrated the need of combining data from different sources in case of disaster.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Impact of earth quakes and tsunamis for cadastre was discussed with cases from Japan and New Zealand. Rapid relief based on cadastral information.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • A very interesting visit to the BEV Cadastral Office of Kufstein. Austria was one of the very first countries with a digital cadastre and land registration. Public can view the cadastral data and purchase on line.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • A very impressive guiding tour of the Construction of the Lower Inn Valley Railway Tunnel Site. Delegates had opportunity to see the construction of the 25 m underground railway tunnel.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • There is an urgent need for knowledge and information on the latest developments in cadastre and land registry in many countries; the work of the commission (reports, cadastral template, proceedings) are used for this purpose. This could be even better communicated. And the link with G\u00e9om\u00e8tres sans Fronti\u00e8res to be strengthened; a challenge for the young generation of surveyors.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Commission 7 wants to thank the Austrian Society for Surveying and Geoinformation and more specifically Mrs Gerda Schennach, Vice-Chair of Commission 7, for organizing such a perfect meeting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Findings \/ Recommendation.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • The meeting was very useful for the senior officers from both Survey and land departments of Brunei Darussalam to attend, as issues raised on the land management from the members countries were discussed during the meeting. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • As a member of the FIG , Survey Department, Ministry of Development, \u00a0Brunei Darussalam shall update the current achievement of the Cadastral activities in the country via the FIG \u00a0commission 7 website.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • In the next meeting the representative of Brunei Darussalam shall present the current status of cadastral activities in this country. Field to Finish (F2F) project which is currently in the process of implementation is one of the subjects that will be reported in the future meeting.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • During the working group discussion, it was emphasized that cadastral management (land development policy) play important role in disaster management. For instance, proper scheming for the land subdivision will at least educate people to develop their land properly in accordance to building or construction guidelines.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Brunei Darussalam is currently embarking coordinated cadastral System project. The project is expected to be completed in stages. Once the project has been completed, the survey data acquisition will be much faster and much cheaper. This will improve the cadastral system in this country.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Cadastral data sharing between Survey Department, Land Department and other related agencies within the Ministry of Development shall be implemented in the near future. This will expedite the process of decision making.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • All the delegates had an opportunity to visit the state boundary between Austria and Germany. The boundary marks were planted on top of the hills and were maintained properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
