FAO Land Tenure Group and FIG Commission 7 WG 7.3 have
launched a publication “FLOSS
in Cadastre and Land Registration - Opportunities and Risks”.
Land administration and cadastral systems in the 21st century
depend on the use of information technology (IT) tools. The
application of these tools affects very much the systems’
efficiency and costs. While commercial softwares have helped to
establish the infrastructures of today and continue to do so,
open-source alternatives, which have achieved considerable
significance in many IT fields, have grown to provide credible
alternatives for consideration. For various reasons, however,
they are not often used in land administration and cadastre,
even when their potential is increasingly recognised. This
booklet aims to shed light on this potential, exploring the
advantages, and disadvantages of open source solutions within
the context of cadastre and land registration. The publication
is the result of four years of cooperation between FAO and FIG
WG 7.3. |

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.
