Precise coordinate LIS for improving planning and land registration processes in the modern real estate markets
Kraus, Yossi, Uri Shoshani & Yerach Doytsher
As in many other countries, the existing statutory division of land - the cadastre in Israel is based on filed surveying which were recorded during decades in field books and were used to determine the boundaries of the block and parcels. Cadastral measurement is a continuous process, due to changes in land ownership, union and division of parcels, and the constant necessity to redefine and update the ownership boundaries. Most information is currently kept on paper (field books, field sheets), which does not permit its computerized management. Inherent contradictions and inaccuracies in the existing material cause difficulties in its use and delays in tracking and measuring the changes, and in updating the cadastral map. The result of urban and regional planning which is carried out based on the non-precise graphical cadastre are non-precise plans which cause difficulties in preparing the mutation plans and thus very long processes of registration the ownerships of the land re-parcelation. The solution for the problems of the current cadastre which has a "graphic nature" is to establish an analytical cadastre in which the location of each entity is unequivocally determined precisely by the state plane coordinate system. The data of the analytical cadastre will thus constitute a spatial information system defining the statutory land division. Modern real estate markets will be significantly affected by a precise cadastral LIS. Within these influences can be mentioned: preventing the transaction costs that correspond to disputes and lawsuits between landowners, stakeholders, and other potential conflicting interests; allowing a reliable land valuation; decreasing the uncertainty that accompanies real estate transactions; and, accelerating the execution of real estate transactions.
