A research on the contribution of urban transformation projects to the renewal of cadastral activities in Turkey
Inam, Saban & Hasan Cagla
Cadastral activities in Turkey began in 1912 but could not be continued due to the adverse effects of The Balkan War, The First World War and The Independence War. Systematic cadastral activities began in 1934 and are currently performed in line with Law on Land Survey no: 3402 and dated 1987. Cadastral work in our country has been completed 97 % in urban areas and 77 % in rural areas. However, the investigations conducted have revealed that the cadastral work produced in line with regulations formed at different times, with different measurement methods and evaluation systems, in different sizes, base plates and sections are qualitatively far from meeting the expectations. Another fact that has been expressed by those in authority is that 14 % of the cadastral work in Turkey has been made using graphic method and around 60% of the existing documents and information need to be updated. Today, when Turkeyys founding cadastre land survey is intended to be completed within the context of the Land Managing Project (ARIP), the real problem and the primary target is not the completion of cadastre; it is to establish a title deed registry as required by the Turkish Civil Code no: 4721 by determining the borders of real properties on land and field based on the topographic cadastral map of the country and the database that will be needed by spatial information systems. In this vein, the content of this study comprises the investigation of the effects of transformation projects in urban areas on the renewal of cadastral activities and work aimed at updating property use.
