The Development of the Austrian Cadastre from Documentation to an Integrated Planning and Decision Support System WPLA - Working Party on Land Administration 15-17 October 2014, Vienna, Austria Wernher Hoffmann

Real estate infrastructure, fit for use? Land register, fit for use? Cadastre, fit for use? But what means “fit for use?”

Clients want…… … a fast process of property building … legal certainty … traceability … orientation, documentation and information … accessibility and availability of information … information up to date and even from the past … all the information wherever they are … all the information whenever they want … integrable and machine-readable data … additional information digital available … Wernher Hoffmann WPLA Vienna 2014/10/16 3

Customer requirements developed over time Land administration systems have a strong impact on legislation of other administrative tasks. A strong interaction between system design and customer requirements exist. Understanding legal and system constraints is absolutely necessary, because in land administration history is nearly unchangeable. Therefore understanding the history is knowing, what was the main purpose. Wernher Hoffmann WPLA Vienna 2014/10/16 4

Main purposes were added over time Purpose of taxation: “Property Tax Cadastre” since 1817… since 1873 cadastre and land register in “accordance” Purpose of legal certainty: “legal cadastre” since 1969 surveyed boundaries are legally binding Purpose of automation since 1980 Real Property Register (no boundary information) since 1987 Digital Cadastral Map (boundary information) Purpose of information since 2003 Dissemination System eGeodata Austria Purpose of integration since 2010 product web services since 2012 integrated Process between Cadastre and Land Reg.

Cadastre: from Documentation … 1817 - The Cadastre documented primarily the relative position of parcels to another Therefore the cadastral map was a picture with very little legal relevance The main purpose of cadastre was taxation. Therefore the updating of the Cadastre had a low priority and was carried out only once a year. The archive of documents was more important, but in doubt the situation in nature was more valid then the deeds. Every Cadastral Unit has a cadastral map (Island maps) WPLA Vienna 2014/10/16 Wernher Hoffmann

… to a reference documentation system… Development of a system of rectangular map sheets all over the country Gauß-Krüger projection was the mathematical basis With the scale 1:1000 the cadastral map was the most detailed reference information Cadastral information was public and therefore available for other documentation purposes Geoinformation recorded for other purposes for example infrastructure building, Rural Development, Regional Planning, etc. was documented on copies of the cadastral map Million of blueprints of the cadastral maps were made each year and were then updated with the additional information WPLA Vienna 2014/10/16 Wernher Hoffmann

….to an information system … Digitization of the cadastral map Public authorities and infrastructure companies started using the Digital Cadastral Map as an information system therefore changed the requirements of CAD to GIS the correct topology of the data was a big challenge topological structures enabled the intersection and integration with other data (e.g. Real estate database, zoning, ...) problem: Distribution and up-to- date-ness of data WPLA Vienna 2014/10/16 Wernher Hoffmann

… integrated Planning and Decision Support System Requirements: Fast and reliable maintenance of date (no gaps) Traceability (Process documentation and historicization) The legal relevant information of the surveying deeds must be the same in the digital cadastral map Online availability Web services for online integration in customer systems Individual data requests on single objects and entities WPLA Vienna 2014/10/16 Wernher Hoffmann
