E OM C L WE

The objective of this conference is to further enhance the understanding and use of regional cooperation in the field of land administration and spatial data infrastructure establishment. The primary focus of this conference will be on creating the network for acceleration of reforms and development of national SDI through the exchange of experience and implementation of INSPIRE. On behalf of the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia, I welcome you to the 4th regional conference about cadastre and spatial data infrastructure. The Conference will build on the success of the previous conferences, which were held in Opatija, Ohrid and Bečiči. The conference venue is in the heart of alpine region, and offers beautiful views and wonderful accommodations. Please join us at the conference and enjoy the beauty of Bled.

We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Aleš Seliškar, general manager of SMA

Introduction of the conference Over the last four years, the regional conferences about cadastre and spatial data infrastructure have focused on exchange any useful experience and best practices example between countries in region.

With the agreement at the permanent technical commission meeting the focus of this year’s conference is on contribution at following themes: - “Activities at NMCA regarding NSDI and INSPIRE”, and - “How NMCA in region are fit with Cadastre 2014 goals” A precondition to the EU membership, to which all the countries of Western Balkan aspire, is their administrative capacity to incorporate the EU acquis, fulfil the adopted standards and execute the assumed obligations. One of the important preconditions is to have to dispose of accurate, up-to-date, highquality, well structured and accessible spatial data. All this activities have significant impact on the work of surveying and mapping agencies and cadastral authorities in the region. Cadastral and topographic data are core elements of National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) in any country or, at the European level into the European Spatial Data Infrastructure defined by the INSPIRE Directive. The INSPIRE Directive, represents a comprehensive and far-reaching document whose establishment requires crucial adjustments of the EU member states and also has direct repercussions on the countries neighbouring the European Union, regardless of whether they are candidate countries or not.

The objectives of this year’s conference are to: - introduction with availability and use of spatial data and services in region among a broad range of users, primarily in the public sector, - information about coordination mechanism of NSDI and method of fork with participated organisations - discussion about some proposals for further cooperation - introduction with some details about implementation of INSPIRE directive and about data disseminations and data policy in EU. The Conference will be organised through a series of plenary sessions addressing conference topics.

We welcome you soon in Slovenia.

Regional Cadastral and NSDI Study

>> Y UD T T S F A DR

2011 Draft Report*

BLED, SLOVENIA JUNE 2011

*Disclamer: This study is still in draft version. Final version will be available on the web page of the regional cooperation, after discussion at the conference and after confirmation from the members of permanent technical commission.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In this study, real-estate management trends identified in countries of south-eastern Europe in recent years are presented. Many of those countries are still in transition and that means that they are still in the process of real-estate management reform.

Land-management reforms have high priority, because they have significant influence on the formalization of land tenure, the development of land markets, and the resolution of land disputes, as well as establishing conditions for security of foreign investment. In recent years, almost all countries in the region have reorganised state geodetic institutions into modern real-estate registration agencies. They define their development in this area according to European and international recommendations made by expert associations. After the digitisation of data was completed, many countries established real-estate cadastres from land cadastres with different approaches. A permanent network of GNSS stations was established almost in all countries in the region. At present, many of these organisations are facing the challenges of setting up a national spatial data infrastructure and comprehensive topographical systems. In the last ten years, the legal framework for real-estate registration was renewed in all countries in region; the private sector in geodetic works was established. Many land-administration projects have been started in the region. In the conclusion, we also attempt to show some opportunities for Slovenian geodetic services in the region.

The progress in number of properties covered by up-to-data and harmonised cadastre and land book is rather decent. Development and implementation of electronic information services is an ongoing activity in all LAS of the region. Most challenging task, implementation of geoportals providing access to cadastral map, is operational in several LAS. The situation is better for geoportals supplying technical textual information. Half of the LAS have operational services within this field. The greatest advance in providing public access is achieved for legal textual information. Only in two LAS such service is not yet operational.

Formal implementation of NSDI strategy and policy is under development. Preparation of basic line maps / topographical maps is the activity started in all LAS institution.

Each particular institution has some kind of digital data available now.

Conference 2011 web page is available at www.4rcs-bled.si, where you could find out more detailed and comperhensive informations about conference and study.

DEFINITIONS

BACKGROUND OF THE INITIATIVE

Cadastre: The International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) defines the cadastre as follows: “A cadastre is normally a parcel based and up-to-date land information system containing a record of interests in land (i.e. rights, restrictions and responsibilities).

It usually includes a geometric description of land parcels linked to other records describing the nature of the interests, and ownership or control of those interests, and often the value of the parcel and its improvements. It may be established for fiscal purposes (e.g. valuation and equitable taxation), legal purposes (conveyance), to assist in the management of land and land use (e.g. for planning and other administrative purposes), and enables sustainable development and environmental protection.” (FIG, 1995). The UNECE’s Land Administration Guidelines point out that different countries use the term cadastre differently, which is often a cause of confusion. (UNECE, 1996)

The initiative to gathering representatives of cadastral and mapping organisations was start in year 2008. Cadastral and Mapping organisations are important parts of the Land Administration Systems in the region and they would like to exchange their experiences regarding reforms and present problems that they encounter, as well as solutions implemented to overcome these problems. In previous four years representatives of cadastral organisations was yearly conduct a study on cadastre and land administration in region of western Balkan as background information for the each year Conference.

Cadastral system: The system which includes the cadastre, title registry and the associated processes of land transfer, subdivision, and adjudication often termed land administration.

Land Administration System: The system for cadastral map and related data and registration of real property rights.

Organisation: (Participating organisation) Public body responsible for cadastral map and/or land book.

Cadastral map: Analogue or digital document containing spatial and non spatial attributes of properties (parcels).

Land Book: Register of real property rights based on the cadastral map identification.

Census Cadastre: Register of parcels established without (precise) cadastral surveying, also called evidentiary cadastre.

Region: Spatial area under responsibility of participating organisations in this study.

Single / dual organisations: indicating whether the system for cadastral map and related data and registration of real property rights is run by one or two organisations.

Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia organise 4th regional conference about cadastre and spatial data infrastructure from 8th to 10th of June 2011. The conference was organised at Lake Bled in Slovenia. The conference about cadastre and spatial data infrastructure was build on the success of the previous three conferences, which were held in Opatija, Ohrid and Bečiči.

The objective of regional conference 2011 is to further enhance the understanding and use of regional cooperation in the field of land administration and spatial data infrastructure establishment. The primary focus of conference in 2011 is on creating the network for acceleration of reforms and development of national SDI through the exchange of experience and implementation of INSPIRE.

THE STUDY 2011 Based on conclusions at our previous regional conference, Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia was organise a preparatory meeting of permanent technical commission. Meeting of commission was held from 14. to 15. of March 2011 in Ljubljana. At this meeting, members of permanent technical commission define final agenda and other details of fourth regional conference for Cadastre and Spatial Data Infrastructure.

Participants were agreeing about overall goals of the conference. This year we will have following topics: 1. “Activities at NMCA regarding NSDI and INSPIRE” 2. “How NMCA are fit with Cadastre 2014 goals” The goal of the Study in 2011 was to provide an overview about topics mention above.

In cooperation with the organizers of the Conference, a Questionnaire was developed and distributed in English language to the following eight cadastral organisations: • Albanian Agency for Immovable Property Registration, • Federal Bureau for Geodetic and Property Relations of the Federation Bosnia and Herzegovina, • State geodetic administration of the Republic of Croatia, • Kosovo Cadastral Agency, • Real Property Directorate of the Republic of Montenegro • Agency for real Estate cadastre of Macedonia, • Authority for Geodetic and Property Affairs of Republika Srpska, • Republic Geodetic Authority of the Republic of Serbia, • Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia Members of permanent technical commission were appointed as a correspondent to serve as the main contact person between the organisation and conference organisers.

In the region of

western Balkan (295.015 km2) we could find:

28.108.500 habitants 62.671.006 land parcels 7.500 employees in land administration in 9 geodetic agencies 3.521 chartered surveyors 1.989 private geodetic companies

STUDY RESULTS

COMPONENT 1: COORDINATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES

PART 1 of questionnaire: “Activities at NMCA regarding NSDI and INSPIRE”

Answers about existing clear national SDI initiative with a name, structure or organisation responsible and or legislation/strategy at the national level at the moment in countries in the region, show us, that almost in all countries this initiative exist.

In 2001, the European Commission launched the INSPIRE initiative. It was based on the observation that the accessibility, interoperability and affordability of spatial data and information systems were limited. It was generally recognised that this situation prevents society to fully benefit from the potential of the technology to improve the relevancy, accuracy, impact and public control of territorial policies and related decisions at all scales and to involve citizens, businesses, non governmental and research organisations in a participatory information society.

With the INSPIRE initiative, the European Union – in collaboration with all the relevant stakeholders - intends to establish an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe that will allow the public sector users at the European, national, regional and local levels to share spatial data from a wide range of sources in an interoperable way for the execution of a variety of public tasks at conditions which do not restrain its use. Moreover, users in private, research and NGO-environments and the citizen will be offered services to discover, view, download and when necessary transform and invoke these spatial data sources. Environmental policies, for which the spatial dimension constitutes an important component, have been chosen as the starting point to establish this spatial infrastructure.

More detailed is current situation in particular country described in questionnaires filled in by each agencies in the region.

Regarding the Degree of Operationally, we ask representatives from each agency to estimate the level of the components which are put in place in their country: (1-10) - Coordination mechanism - Legalisation framework and funding - Metadata - Data of the inspire annexes - Standards - National geo-portal - Network services

COMPONENT 2: LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND FUNDING From the answers at questionnaires we could find descriptions that in the region many governments already have a legal instrument or other framework document determining the SDI-strategy and developed of SDI. Usually this is done in geodetic or cadastral legalisation.

Many geodetic authorities or cadastral and mapping agencies in the region are officially or de facto recognised as coordinating body of the SDI.

COMPONENT 3: Data for the themes of the INSPIRE annexes If we are looking in annex I of INSPIRE directive it is clear that mayor part of datasets for themes in annex I already today are maintained by real estate and cadastral agencies in the region.

COMPONENT 4: METADATA

COMPONENT 5: NETWORK SERVICES

Existing geodatasets are in many agencies already described in metadata description.

Metadata are mostly produced for some of the themes of INSPIRE annexes I and II, both not so often for themes from annex III. But those metadata descriptions are not in line with INSPIRE metadata specifications.

Already in study 2010 we find out that today in the region exist a lot of discovery and view services on different web portals managed by geodetic authorities. This conclusion was finding out also form this study 2011. Those network services give to the user’s possibilities to search for data and services through metadata and also to visualise data. But there are really few of download, transformation and invoke network services.

COMPONENT 6: STANDARDS Based on the answers in questionnaires we could find out that standardisation policy/ strategy document is usually not available in countries in the region or they exist only in few examples when standards in both the fields of data (semantics, data exchange), metadata and services are applied.

PART 2 of questionnaire: “How NMCA are fit with Cadastre 2014 statement”

• The separation between ‘maps’ and ‘registers’ will be abolished

In order to encourage investment within a market economy, the countries in region establishing mechanisms whereby land markets can operate efficiently and effectively. Many agencies in the region already work on determination of the value of real property when assessing land and property for taxation, when calculating the level of compensation for land that is compulsorily acquired for State purposes, and when fixing the rent of State-owned real property. The creation of a central valuation agency can ensure that the valuation of all land and real property meets the needs of the governments in the region. The cost-effectiveness of new land administration systems or of improving existing systems should be assessed. Cost-benefit analysis is a useful tool for helping to determine better solutions to land administration problems.

Strategies should be developed to increase cost recovery when operating a land administration system. For following those trends in land administration, members of permanent technical commission decide to make a compurgation of existing cadastral systems in the region with statements of Cadastre 2014. “Cadastre 2014” is the result of a working group of FIG-Commission 7 looking at trends and developments in the field of cadastre. The working group was active from 1994-1998 and presented the results at the FIG-Congress in Brighton in July, 1998. It projected the trends and developed visions of what cadastral systems might be in 20 years’ time.

Half of the countries in region have a land recording system consisting of cadastre and land registration components. The cadastral part is normally handled by surveyors, while notaries and lawyers take care of the land registration part. This subdivision has often resulted in two different organizational units dealing with the same matter, but in this region we have nice example how the system was modernised and established as unique system. The division of responsibilities between surveyor and solicitor in the domain of cadastre is rapidly and seriously changing.

• Cadastre 2014 will show the complete legal situation of land, including public rights and restrictions Statement number 1 of Cadastre 2014 was proposing that new thematic model is necessary and that cadastre must in future cover a wider field than the traditional cadastre has since its introduction. The circumstances of the resource land have changed significantly since its inception. Rights & restrictions will be more and more often registered in cadastre if we are looking trends in neighbourhoods.

In the questionnaires representatives from each agency in the region indicate what types of purposes are served by the cadastre in their environment.

In region we could identify following types and content of cadastral system.

• ‘Paper and pencil - cadastre’ will have gone Digitalisation of the traditional land recording procedures is one of most important part of land administration reforms and modernisation activities in the region. Land recording in the region is in all agencies done with computer assistance already several years.

• The Cadastral mapping will be dead! Long live modelling Land cadastre data model Cadastral systems in the region are more and more meet the user’s requirements, the function of maps is already re-defined. Maps will lose the function of information storage. They will serve in future simply to represent information derived from data stored in data bases.

• Cadastre 2014 will be highly privatized! Public and private sector are working closely together, Within the worldwide trends of deregulation and privatization, tasks handled in the past by the public sector are being transferred to the private sector also in the region of western Balkan. The private sector gains an importance roil. The public sector is more and more concentrate on supervision and control.

Representatives of the agencies in the region provide figures about private sector and specify number of companies and number of licensed surveyors

• Cadastre 2014 will be cost recovering Land is a natural resource having a considerable financial and ideal value. It can easily be understood, therefore, that financial resources are invested in land recording.

Land recording is basis for mortgaging and the economies could be provided with credits secured by land.

Cost/benefit analysis will be a very important aspect of cadastre reform and implementation. Surveyors will have to deal more with economic questions in future.

Unfortunately we could recognise that cost recovering process in the region is going on slowly, because of the existing data policy where many governments define that all public registers and cadastres must be available free of charge to the users.

CONCLUSIONS

APPENDICES – QUESTIONNAIRES Refer to a separate volume for 2011 Questionnaires – available only in digital form.

The study of the status of the INSPIRE & NSDI implementation in the countries studied allows – based on the results from the simply survey, to draw following conclusions regarding the state of play in the region: • The survey revealed that most countries are on their way to transpose the INSPIRE Directive. The establishment of coordination structures, the involvement of stakeholders and the ‘translation’ of the sharing concept were the most difficult parts of the exercise.

• Although some countries already have well elaborated strategic documents but some of theme have not such documents, nor implementation plans. Some countries also do not have jet a clear funding policy for their NSDI. Many need to rely on existing budgets or seek for specific project funding.

• Regarding the coordination and cooperation, the national level still seems to be the most important level for INSPIRE & NSDI implementation.

• Data & service sharing policies are just to emerge in the region of western Balkan.

There is both unrestricted access and selective access in many countries with respect to different types of data. In order to promote access to spatial data, some countries set up standard agreements/licenses for all/ groups of stakeholders.

In general, sharing practices are poorly documented.

• The study, confirms that most countries are very active in developing the different parts of their NSDI. Although many countries have metadata for a considerable part of their data sets.

• View services are very well developed and download services really start to emerge now. Also discovery services start to become available for most of the countries.

Transformation and invoking services are rather the exception. If transformation services exist, they are coordinate transformation services.

• Although many countries are actively developing an INSPIRE geoportal – even if it is not a legal obligation.

• In general terms, there is more and more focus on interoperability issues, and geo-standardization to reach this interoperability.
