Towards an integrated cadastral system fulfilling LPIS requirements
Dimopoulou, Efi
The paper presents the findings of a recent focused comparative research, on the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) and the ongoing Hellenic Cadastre (HC). The LPIS is the keyelement of the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS), introduced in 1997 by the European Union (EU) for all its Member States, within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) framework. According to the LPIS, an agriculture parcell is defined as a continuous piece of land, constituting of one or several cadastral parcels or sub-parcels, with a single crop cultivated by a single farmer. On the other hand, a cadastral parcell is defined as a contiguous area of land, owned by one or more persons ab indiviso, thus constituting the basic reference unit of all cadastral information. Although the LPI system registers farmers, while the cadastral system registers land owners, the two systems present physical similarity, since cadastral parcels can be further divided into sub-parcels according to different land use types within the same parcel or, can be part of a greater single crop agricultural area cultivated by a single farmer. This overlap between the LPIS and the HC, results in expenditure duplication, especially for countries like Greece, with cadastral system not yet completed, being required to take into consideration the LPIS specifications.
