TS05A: EVALUATION OF LAND ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS [10524]

Commission: 7
Chair: Dr. Rohan Bennett, Chair FIG Commission 7, Australia
Rapporteur: Ms. Carmen Femenia Ribera, Spain

Every country is unique, and so are its land administration systems. This makes developing evaluation systems, for use by all, highly challenging. FIG has a strong track record in seeking to help fill this gap, and this session will uncover new developments, new theories, and emerging tools.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• What tools are out there?
• What approaches are used?
• Which ones work well? Which don’t?
• What are the gaps that need to be filled?
