The Message
• The Land Management paradigm iscomplex and highly interdisciplinary.This paper attempts to build an overallunderstanding.
• Land and property must be viewed asan asset and a scarce naturalresource. Proper management of landand properties is vital to achievingsustainable development.
• There is a need for institutionaldevelopment to establish sustainablenational concepts in this area. Thisincludes the adoption of a holisticapproach to land management.
• This calls for increased internationalco-operation towards enhancededucational and professionalstandards.
You do not own land itself, but the right to use the land inconformity with community laws, practices and expectations

Interests in land
Land is the most important and basic asset of any country
The Land Management Paradigm
Land Management is the processes by which the resources of land are put into good effect.
E-Government E-Citizenship
Hernando de Soto - 1993
The increasing role of property rights
”Civilised living in market economiesis not simply due to greater prosperitybut to the order that formalised property rights bring”

Property Systems: Tenure, Value and Use
Cadastral Systems – the basic building block
Cadastral Systems is about identification of land parcels for the purpose ofsecuring land rights, assessing land values/taxation, and controlling the use of land.
Land Registration Systems around the World
Deeds System (French): A register of owners; the transaction is recorded – not the title.Title System (German, English, Torrens): A register of properties; the title is recorded and guarantied.
What is a good property system ?
• People in general can participate in the land market;widespread ownership; everybody can maketransactions and have access to registration
• The infrastructure supporting transactions must besimple, fast, cheap, reliable, and free of corruption.
• The system provides safety for housing and business,and for capital formation
Only 25-30 countries in the worldapply to these criteria.
Land Administration Systems
Land Administration Systems are concerned with the four land administrationfunctions of land tenure, land value, land-use and land development.
• Technology development- GPS, GIS, Internet
• Micro-economic reform- privatisation, decentralisation, downsizing, quality assurance
• Globalisation- from local to global - events in one part of the world impact on people in other parts of the world
• Sustainable development - developments that effectively incorporates economic, social and environmental concerns in decision-making- meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

A Land Management Vision
Capacity Development
In many countries, the national capacity to manageland rights, restrictions, and responsibilities is notwell developed in terms of mature institutions and thenecessary human resources and skills.
This calls for increased international co-operation toface the challenges of the future:
The educational, professional, and institutionalchallenge.
The Educational Challenge …
…The Educational Challenge
The profile of the educationalprogrammes should be composed ofthe areas of Measurement Scienceand Land Management supported bya strong paradigm of spatialinformation management.
The length of the surveying coursesmust reflect the need for establishingprofessional as well academic skillswithin this broad area.
A four-year course is assessed asthe minimum and a five year courseis recommended
.
Professional structures must reflect the new land management paradigm
National associations will have to develop structures that accommodate a modern interdisciplinary profile.
This includes adoption of ethical principles and model codes of professional conduct suitable for performing this modern role.
Public-private partnerships must be promoted to support sustainable development
The Professional Challenge …
Develop in-country self assessment procedures to identify institutional capacity needs
Promote adoption of comprehensive land policiesand a holistic approach to land management
Establish a clear split of duties and responsibilities between national and local government based on the principles of good governance
Promote the understanding of land management as a highly interdisciplinary paradigm
Promote the need for an interdisciplinary approach to surveying education
Establish strong professional bodies Promote the need for CPD activities
…The Institutional Challenge - recommendations
Final Remarks
• Land and property must be viewed as anasset and as a scarce natural resource.Proper management of land and properties isvital to achieving sustainable development.
• There is a need for institutional developmentto establish sustainable national concepts inthis area. This includes the adoption of aholistic approach to land management thatcombines the land administration functionswith the land policies and land informationinfrastructures.
• The debate should be aware of the globaltrends in this area, while still recognising thatthe design of such systems will always becountry unique. This calls for increasedinternational co-operation towards enhancededucational and professional standards.
