Questions on sustainable land administration

Ossko, Andras

Itts obvious, the implementation of sustainable development is not an environmental problem only but first of all economic, social development. The successful implementation of sustainable development requires institutions which are able to co-ordinate the activities. FIG included this topic in its long term professional strategy few years ago and UN organisations also supported FIG concepts. As a result of FIG/UN common activities, FIG Commission 7 with UN organisations-FAO, HABITAT, etc.- organised a joint workshop in Bathurst Australia in 1999, issuing the Bathurst Declaration Land Administration infrastructure for Sustainable Developmentt Itts very clear that the processes of sustainable development requires sustainable infrastructure, sustainable legal and institutional framework, sustainable, operational land administration. To develop well functioning land administration is an increasing importance and interest world wide during the last decade but itts known by experience that creation of legal and institutional framework is not enough to guarantee the sustainable operation of land administration.
