Progress in modern cadastre Challenging existing models and paradigms Gerda Schennach, Austria Chair of FIG Commission 7 Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying, Austria
The Value of Cadastre for Society UN Declaration of Human Rights Article 17 par (1): Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others cadastre provides a feeling of security to land owners a valuable asset for income to many groups essential for creating and keeping economy alive creates responsibility for land and home at owners a tool for preventing from land abuse and corruption a part of society but sometimes too slow, too costly, not on political agenda
Core Interests in Registration of Land security of land tenure for land owners equal conditions for equal rights transparency of rights Citizen Balance of Interests registration keeps land use sustainable public income by taxation government / planning / economy Interest Groups
investors governments Interest Groups economy/business NGOs, NPOs civil society basic requirements technology communication property models a legal framework political willingness structures and procedures
Cadastral systems different requirements (taxation, geometry e.a.) but always reflecting land or housing rights diversity of systems linked to culture and to history in many countries private and public stakeholders with different PPP models cadastre is often still considered as a privilege to selected groups of professionals public authorities and professionals in private practice keep most of the information There Accepted Expertise Technology
A changing surrounding
Changing the Paradigm Cadastre for Society gets created by Society technology is available and cheap new type user society growing land owners get active information providers citizen as passive data providers Stakeholders become Decisionmakers user profiles changing communities community creates their own "regulations standards set by communities Citizen become Shareholders communities are core part of the (formal) processes citizen are owner of information self-monitoring systems secure fit-for-purpose - quality
Challenging the models professionals land owners communities Technology data data big data
The 4 basic principles Transparency Security X Business models Trust
Transparency Business models X Security Trust land owners/citizen become main partners society trust systems rather than stakeholders technology/systems/web/clouds availability/accessibility of data new silos provide long-term evidence on land historical evidence on who and when and what (WWW) transparency of conditions for access transparency of processes to stakeholders
Transparency Business models X Security Trust procedures need to be smart and transparent to public make origin of data visible categorize authentity / legal status publicity of data under privacy aspects access to silos, awareness of clouds track routes of information what is where transparency of who has access / definition of responsibilities community self-monitoring procedures
Transparency Business models X Security Trust long-term existence of infrastructures / archives / cloud key moderators / facilitators / responsibility protection of data against manipulation of data prevent from data grabbing attacks by (non-compliant) interest groups fraud securing rights and systems in post- and pre-disaster/conflict areas long term archives
Transparency Business models X Security Trust society is user and producer communities produce similar products / substitutes public authorities take role as facilitator and moderator open source technologies vers. proprietary solutions shift of power from authorities to communities/providers/citizen/society ownership of data (citizen, third party, community data ) and structures (hosts, clouds..) not clear infrastructures for big data mgt. open government data vers. open data distributed responsibility models
The Role of the Civil Society society, economy, global environment. NGOs, interest groups global networks international professional associations (FIG, ISPRS,..) global community strong partnerships, 4P Cadastre (Public, Private, People, Professionals) overcome slow, costly, intransparent systems raise awareness for need establish sustainable systems (financing, conflict resistance, adaptable to new technologies, stable in changing environments
