Integrating the “dead capital” in models of cadastral systems
Författare
Summary, in English
An improvement of an existent information system requires an understanding of the basis of the current model, its coverage and the processes of change. The land unit is the basis for the cadastral system. Real estate rights are agreed between individuals, and the units are officially recognized in the cadastral system. The real estate rights are continuously submitted to changes.<br><br>
Many research projects on cadastral systems have focussed on comparative or descriptive studies of the current systems. Technical, legal and organisational aspects are examined. Some theoretical approaches analyse models of cadastral systems. The concept of the “dead capital” of the land assets is fundamental for understanding the backlog of development in Latin America. More than 90 % of the real estate rights in rural areas in developing countries is outside the formal sector of land titling, while developed countries are considered to integrate most real estate rights in the formal sector. This is based on a static and biased perspective of the real estate rights, within or without the formal sector. However, even Sweden has got “dead capital”, outside the cadastral records, but it is sustained by private solutions. <br><br>
The society is not patiently waiting for the cadastral solutions, but improving the real estate systems as demanded by the citizens. The complementary systems play a crucial role in the market economy, though with limited recognition in the models of cadastral systems. The turnover point to a more advanced cadastral system ought to consider the diversity of market solutions of property rights.
