The cadastre in Poland : the current status and possibilities of transformation into 3D one

Bydlosz, Jaroslaw

In the present form the polish cadastre has been operating since the Act - Surveying and Mapping Law was passed in 1989. At the moment, cadastre in Poland is the database comprising data on parcels, buildings and premises. This is basically the database of 2D data. Scientific and technological development taking place recently, causes demand for third dimension introduction. To introduce problems of polish cadastre, the two databases managing data on real estates in Poland are described in the paper. They are the Cadastre for Grounds and Buildings and the Land Register. The Land Register objects does not have spatial reference, so focus was put on the Cadastre for Grounds and Buildings. The objects of cadastre (parcels, buildings and premises), the legal regulations and technical instructions having references into third dimension are presented in the paper. According to the author the present state of cadastre and binding legal regulations are basis for adding the third dimensionn into cadastre in Poland, but determining of 3D cadastre development direction seems to be necessary beforehand. The existing or developed standards like Land Administration Domain Model, INSPIRE Data Specification on Cadastral Parcels and INSPIRE Data Specification on Buildings may be helpful here.
