Autonomous behaviour: its implications to land records modernization in the United States
Portner, J. & Niemann, B.J.
With abstracts in English, German and French.
Numerous groups of governmental and private professionals document, maintain, and use land records at the local level in the United States. The autonomy with which these groups behave in performing these activities has led to a land records system that is duplicative and inefficient. It has also diminished the very usefulness and quality of those land records for land use planning and management. The group autonomy that exists at the local level remains a severe impediment to land record modernization through the development of a multipurpose land records system. This autonomy is the result of, among other things, different beliefs amongst those groups that function at the local level regarding an array of specific land records issues; including their beliefs about the relative importance of various existing records such as geodetic control.
