Review of the Annual Meeting of FIG Commission 7 on Cadastre and Land Management

摘要

FIG Commission 7 held its annual meeting in September 2011 in Innsbruck, Austria. This event culminated with the International Symposium Cadastre 2.0. Issues relating to land administration and cadastral perspectives are of high interest, namely in regard to citizens' involvement, crowdsourcing and social media, and to completion of cadastre and land registration in the developing world. This concerns about 75% of the 6 billion or so spatial units in use by humans. Key focal points for the Commission are management of government lands, pro-poor land tools (with UN-HABITAT), spatially enabled societies, climate change, the cadastral template, the Land Administration Domain Model and 3D Cadastres.
