Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recording information about land ownership dates back to ancient times yet cadastre is currenly undergoing rapid development in terms of data acquisition, storage, processing and dissemination. However, this work is progressing at different rates in different parts of the world. Additionally, a variety of problems arises from historical, functional and legal conditions specific to individual regions. Cadastral data are also widely used in other areas of life and form the basis for, among other things, spatial planning and the tax system. Understanding the differences, but also the principles of operation, of cadastres in different parts of the world, studying their development and expanding the scope of information they cover, is an important contribution to broadening our knowledge.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather together articles (original scientific articles and review articles) containing insights into the creation, improvement and expansion of cadastral systems. Research articles on the use and quality of cadastral data in other areas of life are also welcome. A strong regional and scalar diversity of articles is also desirable.
In this Special Issue, we are interested in articles based on empirical research, conceptual/theoretical work and review articles containing insights into the following topics:
- Analyses of cadastral development, including comparative analyses;
- The difficulties and limitations of building cadastral systems;
- The use of cadastral data for various purposes;
- Links between the quality of cadastral data and the development of other areas of life;
- Multidimensional cadastral models.
We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews.
