Land Information Management: An Introduction with Special Reference to Cadastral Problems in the Third World Countries

Prepared under the auspices of the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE), this is designed both as a practical handbook for use by land administrators and managers and as a textbook for trainees. The authors begin with a discussion on the different types of cadastral surveys - of the extent, value, and ownership of land - used in practice, continuing with sections on surveying, the handling of data, and questions of the economics and management of land information systems. The book is aimed particularly at the developing world, where the resources available to acquire and manage land information may be limited.
