Registration of apartments and office spaces in 3D land administration: A case study in Croatia

Due to the needs of modern society, cadastral systems should be designed to support three dimensional (3D) spatial data. One of many possible approaches for implementing a 3D cadastre, in countries such as Croatia, is to establish a Building Register as a transitional register between 2D and 3D cadastres, where data about buildings and...

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...

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...
