Project experiences with land management in countries in transition
Schindler, Gernod, Ronald Schmieder and Jasper Lauert
The process of managing resources on land is described as Land Management. The main challenge in Land Management is to manage the use of land resources in a way balancing the interests between owners, municipalities, state institutions and the whole society. All Land Management projects in transition and developing countries require an effective system of Land Administration (LA). This system is responsible for managing the information on land resources and hence for achieving an efficient Land Management (LM). Efficient LM requires reliable data to provide correct and complete records for administrative decisions. Therefore, the essential task consists in the provision of a functioning system with complete and up-to-date data. Both in Georgia and in BosniaaHerzegovina, Land Administration and Land Management projects of considerable size have been carried out with the assistance of international consultants. The experiences and lessons learnt shall be spelled out in this paper.
