Seminar on State and Public Land Management was organised in Verona, Italy, September 9-10, 2008, just before the FIG Commission 7 Annual Meeting. The seminar was organised by FIG Commission 7 and the Consiglio Nazionale Geometri (CNG), in co-operation with FIG Commission 9 and FAO Land Tenure and Management Unit. The major goal of the seminar was to share experience and discuss policy options and practices in relation to state and public sector land management, including between land managers, policy advisers and decision makers and their professional advisers, and the civil society organisations working in these areas.
The seminar aimed to help raise global awareness of problems associated with state/public land and its management, improve knowledge of good practices in this area, and encourage these to be increasingly addressed in new development initiatives.

What is Commission 7?

Commission 7 deals with land administration ('the process of determining, recording, and disseminating information about the ownership, value and use of land when implementing land management policies', ref. UNECE Land Administration Guidelines 1996). 'Ownership' should be seen as a broad concept of land tenure within various jurisdictions (statutory, customary, informal etc.). 'Land' includes constructions at subsurface level, ground level and above land level (e.g. buildings). Furthermore Commission 7 deals with land management, that is the implementation of land policy, by a wide range of land policy instruments (e.g. land reform, land consolidation, land markets, land taxation, marine resource management etc.).

In 'key words' Commission 7 deals with

  • land tenure
  • institutional context of land
  • land law and land related laws
  • land related public administration
  • public and private roles in land administration
  • land registration and land recording
  • cadastres, land registers and cadastral maps
  • cadastral surveying and mapping
  • non parcel based land information systems
  • informal settlements and formalization processes
  • land related information management and business administration
  • re-engineering and cadastral reform
  • land policy and land policy instruments
  • land markets, land use planning, land taxation
  • land and marine resource management
  • land reform and land redistribution
  • land consolidation and urban land readjustment
  • access to land by women and vulnerable groups

 The Commission is organised with three Working Groups.
