Dabiri, Oluseye Thomas
The Evolutionary Trend of Cadastre Development as a process in Delta State of Nigeria is closely linked with the geo political evolution of Nigeria as a developing country. Nigerian Geo Political Evolutionary Process and Form can be divided into FIVE EPOCHS. 1ST EPOCH (PRE COLONIAL) = FROM PRE HISTORIC TO 1914. 2ND EPOCH (COLONIAL) = 1914 TO 1960. 3RD EPOCH (POST COLONIAL) = 1960 TO 1978. 4TH EPOCH (MILITARY) = 1978 TO 1999. 5TH EPOCH (CONTEMPORARY) = 1999 TO DATE. (2012). Cadastre plays huge roles in the development of society with the major aim of registering legality and rights associated with land. (Prooijen et al., 2011). Land Surveying of 2D Cadastre Data development and presentation started with the colonial adventurism which was a mark of paradigm shift from cultural, oral and descriptive Cadastre Data development and usage.
