Land and space are major driving factors in doing business in urban areas. Cities around the world are performing land management techniques to achieve sustainable urban development. The World Bank acknowledges the importance of land management practices and promotes it as the Ease Of Doing Business (EODB) indicators for a supportive environment fo...
Article
Condominium is a special and relatively new type of property right emerged in the last century to be a remedy for the management problems in multi-unit buildings. There are many types of condominium regimes, as described in EUI (2005), UNECE (2005) and van der Merwe (2016). The common elements include: (a) Individual right to an apartment, (b) co-o...

Land management has four functions that are interlinkage to each other: land tenure, land valuation, land use planning and land development. These functions are the foundation of Indonesia's new strategy for improving its Ease Of Doing Business (EODB), directly in dealing with construction permits and registering property. Ideally, each permit incl...
Article
Cities establish and maintain Land Administration Systems (LAS) to manage information about the land and urban space. Recognizing the importance of the urban space for sustainable development, information from spatial planning will affect land administration and vice versa. Therefore, every aspect that influences land use, both from spatial plannin...

Purpose A paradigm in circular economy (CE) is that suppliers retain ownership of their products and materials, and that the users “only” pay for services. In many legal systems, however, elements incorporated in a building are considered to be fixtures, and therefore legally part of the building. This means that ensuring multi-cyclic behaviour of...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Condominium is one of the prevalent forms of three- dimensional (3D) property rights (Paulsson, 2007, p. 32). The condominium concept common to a number of jurisdictions consists of three elements: (a) individual ownership of an apartment, (b) co-ownership (joint ownership) of the land and the common parts of the building, and (c) membership of an...

The construction and renovation of the building envelope represents a significant fraction of a project’s life-cycle costs. It also has a determinant effect on the potential reduction in energy use, as well as on the improvement of the building’s indoor comfort. Nevertheless, the challenge of a low rate and depth in building energy renovations cann...
Chapter
At the moment of writing, we are witnessing a data revolution. In this chapter we present our perspective on the direction of the developments in the coming 30 years. By offering both a dystopian and a utopian vision on the (open) data world in 2050, we open the debate on the direction the use of open data should take. This final chapter demonstrat...

Full-text available
This article reports on the first 3D cadastral registration in The Netherlands, accomplished in March 2016. The solution was sought within the current cadastral, organisational, and technical frameworks to obtain a deeper knowledge on the optimal way of implementing 3D registration, while avoiding discussions between experts from different domains....
Conference Paper
Full-text available
As argued in many earlier FIG publications, the potential benefits of 3D Cadastre are huge. This is especially true in the Caribbean setting with quite dense urban areas and large and important marine areas, where rights (restrictions and responsibilities; RRRs) in 3D is a prerequisite for the blue economy. The Caribbean with a plethora of 3D use c...
Article
Once heralded by both liberals and socialists as a tool for Dutch municipal governments to prevent land speculation and to implement spatial policies, a century later the Dutch ground lease (erfpacht) is now despised by many. The ground lease was the subject of strong debate in the recent past and is likely to remain so. It has been argued that les...

Article
The increasing complexity and flexibility of modern land use requires that cadastres need an improved capacity to manage the third dimension. As the world is per definition not static, there also will be needs in relation to the representation of the temporal (fourth) dimension either integrated with the spatial dimensions or as separate attribute(...
Article
This paper, on the use of apartment rights for management of areas with mixed residential and commercial use in The Netherlands, presents the first results of a research project that started in 2008. Our conclusions so far are based on literature research and a limited number of interviews. The redevelopment of industrial areas involves two tasks:...
Article
In 2003, the Supreme Court declared utility networks to be real estate. This led to an extension of the Civil Code in 2007 stating that a utility network is not the property of the owner of the cadastral plot, but the property of the "authorised cabler" of that network. A network receives it own cadastral identity and can be registered with a netwo...
Article
Article 1 Protocol No. 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees the “peaceful enjoyment” of ones possessions. The use of land development tools and planning tools therefore will necessarily find a boundary in the protection of the fundamental right to property by Article 1. This contribution gives a general survey of the interpretati...

Design/methodology/approach For this paper the research consists of listing and analysing legal questions raised by multiple use of land. A multidisciplinary approach is used from a legal point of view a...
Article
A standardized core cadastral domain model (CCDM), covering land registration and cadastre in a broad sense (multipurpose cadastre), will serve at least two important goals: (1) Avoid re-inventing and re-implementing the same functionality over and over again, but provide a extensible basis for efficient and effective cadastral system development b...
Article
Full-text available
An increase in trans-border property transactions within the European Union poses a demand for easy access to information belonging to the national land administrations of Member States. A common European Land Market also requires a uniform system of land registration. The authors propose introduction of the EuroTitle, a standard for land registrat...
Article
Full-text available
In areas with high population densities, 3D property situations with high property values are common. To secure the legal rights and/or fair taxation in those situations an unambiguous and clear registration of 3D situations is required. In previous research we studied 3D property situations in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Queensland a...
Article
The best solution to record 3D (ownership) rights is to explicitly grant a legal right for an object or a space and to record this in a 3D register that supports voluminous parcels. By extensively escribing one example, this article illustrates the advantages of such an inclusive 3D cadastre. Some countries have already started implementing this.

Un modelo básico, estandarizado, del dominio catastral, que abarque el registro de la propiedad y el catastro en un sentido amplio (catastro polivalente), cumpliría al menos dos objetivos importantes: 1. evitaría la continua reinvención y reimplantación de las mismas funcionalidades, proporcionando una base extensible para el desarrollo eficaz y ef...
Article
Individualisation of property initially began with division of land using 2D boundaries. This is why the central paradigm in cadastral registration is traditionally a 2D parcel. But now this paradigm needs to be adjusted, since there is an increasing interest in using the space both above and below the surface. The number of tunnels, cables and pip...
Article
An increase in cross-border transactions of real estate within the European Union demands for easy access to the information of the national land registries of the member states. The EULIS project brings together the registrations of eight European countries in one portal. Thus it provides access to cross-border information about the rights on real...
Article
A cadastral registration system provides insight in rights and limited rights related to (2D) parcels. In case of multiple use of space, the 2D parcel has shown its limitations. To illustrate this we describe two cases in this article. At our Department a research is carried out in collaboration with the Netherlands' Kadaster to study the 3D issue...
Article
Full-text available
In this paper the complications of current cadastral registration is outlined in case of cross- boundary infrastructure objects. Traditionally, cadastral registration concentrates on parcels defined by their surface boundaries. Consequently the legal status of the subsurface and rights regarding constructions in the subsurface is established and re...
Article
The rights of cadastral objects may relate to spaces above or below the earth surface. The fact that several legal spaces of objects can be located above or below the same surface parcel may cause confusion in practice. In the Netherlands the location of 3D objects are in fact only represented in the well known 2D cadastral map. Complex 3D situatio...

SUMMARY Property rights on real estate are registered on cadastral parcels. These parcels are the result of a delimitation of the earth by boundaries projected on the surface. Dutch law allows the division of ownership of buildings and land in horizontal layers by establishing a right of superficies ( opstalrecht). The result is a horizontal subdiv...
