Initial Inventory of 3D Cadastre Use Cases in the Caribbean

As argued in many earlier FIG publications, the potential benefits of 3D Cadastre are huge. This is especially true in the Caribbean setting with quite dense urban areas and large and important marine areas, where rights (restrictions and responsibilities; RRRs) in 3D is a prerequisite for the blue economy. The Caribbean with a plethora of 3D...

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...

An Analysis of the Necessity for 3D Cadastres with Reference to Trinidad and Tobago

The theoretical methodology for the construction of a 3D cadastre can be an interesting academic exercise that is worthy of investigation. For individual countries or jurisdictions, however, the practical possibility of implementation must be supported by a discussion of the situational need and a cost-benefit analysis of the concept. This...
