Design and Determine 3D Cadastral Systems: A Case Study of Turkey

Our country cadastre has been carried out by different institutions with different organizational structures and legislative regulations from past to present. There are numerous laws, regulations, circulars, and directives are regulating land registry and cadastre activities in Turkey (Cete, 2008). However, it is seen that there are laws...

Determining the “true” three-dimensional environmental impact of Public Law Restrictions

The needs of modern, heavily urbanised societies, require, on the one hand, the most efficient exploitation of land by individual stakeholders and, on the other hand, have set up a variety of restrictions and regulations for the public benefit. Such restrictions are steadily growing in number and apply in various areas. Given the technological...

Possibilities of Integrating Public Law Restrictions to 3D Cadastres

Modern urban environment is characterized by intense vertical exploitation of real property. This has resulted in complex and interlocking structures, also reflecting to vertically overlapping real property rights, intensifying the need for 3D cadastral systems. Additionally, a significant number of Public Law Restrictions (PLRs), defined by an...

3D Real Property Legal Concepts and Cadastre: A Comparative Study of Selected Countries to Propose a Way Forward

The concepts of three-dimensional (3D) real property have been the subject of increased interest in land use management and research since the late ‘90s while literature provides various examples of extensive research towards 3D Cadastres as well as already implementing 3D cadastral systems. However, in most countries the legal aspects of 3D...

Legal Aspects of 3D Property Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities in Greece and Cyprus

This paper aims to identify and evaluate the constraints imposed by the legal framework both in Greece and Cyprus that prohibit the extensive development and application of 3D Cadastres. Property laws and customary rights in both countries present several similarities; e.g. co-ownership in shares as the result of the existing inheritance system,...

Axiomatic Definition of Valid 3D Parcels, potentially in a Space Partition

The definition of a valid 3D parcel must be correct and unambiguous, because an error or ambiguity in the definition of the extent of a property can lead to expensive legal disputes or to problems with handling 3D parcels in the information systems or problems during data transfer between two systems. This paper develops a rigorous axiomatic...
