	The VII Croatian Congress on Cadastre and 10th Workshop on the Land Administration 
	Domain Model
		April 2022, Dubrovnik, Croatia
		
		The VII. Croatian congress on cadastre was held this year between 
		March 31st and April 2nd in the Dubrovnik Palace hotel. Covid did not 
		yet allow a completely physical environment - the conference was hybrid 
		- 200 participants onsite and 600 online. Probably the new norm. 
		Although a beautiful and historic setting like Dubrovnik in Croatia does 
		underline the human need to meet and talk directly.
		In conjunction with the Congress of Croatian Cadastral Surveyors, the 
		10th workshop for the Land Administration Domain Model was organised.
		An important topic at the Croatian Congress was 'Fit-For-Purpose Land 
		Administration - support for Sustainable Development'. Furthermore, the 
		history and future of the cadastre, land administration infrastructure 
		for smart cities, multidimensional cadastres, land administration, land 
		consolidation, sustainable land policy and technologies for creating and 
		maintaining land registers.
		The Land Administration Domain Model is gaining recognition in many 
		countries. Software suppliers are adopting and implementing LADM. The 
		10th Workshop was in support the development of a second edition of the 
		workshop. 
		The combination of presentations, lectures, demonstrations and 
		discussions was attractive for the participants.
		
		The Croatian Geodetic Society (FIG member) organised the event - in 
		close cooperation with the Faculty of Geodesy of the University of 
		Zagreb (FIG academic member), the Geodetic State Administration and the 
		Croatian Chamber of Geodetic Engineers (CLGE member) and under the 
		auspices of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG). 
		The organisers thank all the speakers and participants for their 
		support!
