The Cadastre is a public land information system and should therefore be managed or supervised by the Government. In some countries, new organizational arrangements for the implementation of systems are being investigated, such as joint ventures or partnership between government and the private sector, or contracting out specific activities to the private sector. In other countries, the cadastral organization has become more independent in terms of management and financing from government budgets. In both cases, a more direct financing of cadastral operations is sought through cost recovery or even to generate government revenue. However this can replace basic government investments in spatial infrastructure such as a national coordinate system.
The Cadastre is a land information system, usually managed by one or more government agencies. Since information about land parcels is often needed by many different users, a unified Cadastre helps to avoid duplication and assists in the efficient exchange of information.
A Cadastre must be demand driven; that means fulfill the demands of its clients and that it needs to be coordinated with other land information system.
The cadaster supports the public administration of land. The information in the Cadastre can be used for the formulation, implementation and monitoring of land policies, such as those concerning land redistribution, land consolidation, land acquisition and allocation, and land markets.
Cadastral data should be accessible to the general public. However the cadastral system must include measures to protect individual and private interests from misuse of the information provided. A successful cadastre should provide security of tenure, be simple and clear, be easily accessible, and provide current and reliable information at low cost.
