Kaufmann, Jurg, Urs Fluckiger and Peter Banninger

The Cadastre 2014 [Kaufmann, Steudler, 1998] approach allows it, to resolve the problem of the documentation, administration and management of the complex legal situation of land, which has emerged from the legislation impacting the private land rights. To secure a sustainable cohabitation of humankind , to omit the destruction of the environment and to make a sustainable use of the natural resources possible, most of the existing societies have created a big number of laws. The legislation work was and is often tackled under timepressure and has an emergency characteristic. Therefore the impacts of these laws on the private property rights: − have often not been taken into consideration during the legislation process, because this issue had no priority; − exist all over the world, because in most cases existing laws are copied and adapted to the local conditions; − create an increasing uncertainty for land owners and investors; − threaten the functioning of the land markets, which are important drivers for economical and social development.
