3D Cadastre Potential Assessment - A Trinidad and Tobago Property Valuation Perspective

Each country must assess its own potential for attaining a 3D cadastre in its land administration. The assessment can be done on several criteria among which are the state of its legislation supporting the establishment of the cadastre, the strength of its current spatial data infrastructure, the registration structures in place, and the...

Digital Transformation of Land Administration Systems - the Next Step toward 3D Land Administration

Introducing interoperability among spatial datasets and registers is one of the key drivers for optimizing public administration, starting from the simple automation of existing processes, to the overall transformation of the system, and the construction of modern user-oriented services. An additional incentive for such a transformation, in the...

Toward the Development of LADM-based Marine Cadastres: Is LADM Applicable to Marine Cadastres?

Hoogsteden and Robertson (1998; 1999) were among very few early publications that supported the idea that consideration is to be given to the extension of “on-land” cadastral system into the offshore. It was circa 2001 that the terms “marine cadastre” or “marine cadastral” were first explicitly used in scholarly media and at professional...

Proposal for Taking the Current Cadastre to a 3D, LADM Based Cadastre in Trinidad and Tobago

The current cadastre in Trinidad and Tobago is 2D, only partially digital, and does not conform to the requirements of the LADM. A web accessible application, that has been recently developed, applies only to a subset of state land that has been leased to private individuals. A clear proposal for taking the current 2D system to a 3D, LADM-based...

Governance in 3D, LADM Compliant Marine Cadastres

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) generally have much larger marine areas to manage than land areas. This fact provides a challenge for the country’s security, governance of use rights, conflict management and resource preservation and sustainable exploitation. The sheer value of these expansive marine areas therefore demands that more...
