An overview of Turkish cadastral organisation : a good practice
Cete, Mehmet & Halil Ibrahim Inan
Organisational Structure (OS) is a statement by which roles and relationships in an organization are defined. It is one of the most important factors which effects successful management of any institutions. In this context, OSs of cadastral systems should be developed appropriately to build up and sustain cadastre effectively. When cadastral systems of different countries are examined, it is seen that there are many kinds of OSs throughout the world. They change mostly depending on the politic and administrative structures and traditions of countries. While some countries have well functioning cadastral systems in organisational context, many have different issues like coordination problems between different levels of the government, and between land registry and cadastre offices. On the other hand, there are general agreements in international literature to manage cadastral systems in a better way. In this context, effectiveness of the OS of Turkish Cadastral System is evaluated in this paper by taking into consideration those general agreements. As a result of the evaluation, it is determined that Turkish cadastral system has a strong OS since 1847 in cadastral domain which could be a good practice for the countries where there is need to re-design cadastral structures. There is only one responsible ministry and central authority for management of both land registry and cadastre in Turkey. There are regional directorates in regional level, and land registry and cadastre offices in local level. Land registry and cadastre offices have close association. Therefore there is no inconsistency between the records of those offices. In this paper, the main administrations, working levels and some good aspects of Turkish land registry and cadastre system is examined.
