Facing the global challenges : the importance of land governance and the significance of the cadastre
Enemark, Stig
Place matters! Everything happens somewhere. If we can understand more about the nature of placee where things happen, and the impact on the people and assets on that location, we can plan better, manage risk better, and use our resources better. This paper provides an overall understanding of the land management paradigm and the importance of land governance in support of the global agenda. The paper emphasises the significant role of the cadastre in this regard. Sustainable land administration systems provide clear identification of the individual land parcels and land rights attached to these parcels. This information on the people to land relationship is crucial and plays a key role in managing a wide range of activities in society including adaptation to climate change and disaster risk management.
