Comparative Study on the Institution of Cadastre in International Context

Summary/Abstract: Land ownership has always been the basis of all civilizations. The state has always sought to know and to be informed about the extent and distribution of public and private property. For this reason, it was felt that there was a need to describe and register in the records the property limits to have a clear record of them, to control or limit them and to set the tax on the property. Thus, through the cadastre, a system of general and compulsory registration of the entire land fund is realized irrespective of the ownership of the property and the category of its use. Thus, the cadastre does not study the land itself but establishes the ways in which all technical information concerning the land fund is collected, processed and represented on the maps and plans together with the inclusion in the Land Registry of the related legal acts and deeds. In this context, this paper seeks to carry out a comparative study on the cadastre institution in an international context as well as to identify the elements that can serve to create a most viable cadastral system.
