1. Development of Joint Information System of Land Registry and Cadastre in the Republic of Croatia. Maro Lučić Geospatial World Forum- Monetising Geospatial Value for Land Administration Rotterdam 15 May 2013

2. AGENDA Key challenges Major benefits National Real Property Registration and Cadastre program Land administration system in Croatia Joint information system (JIS)

3. Republic of Croatia - parliamentary democratic republic - area: 56,594 km 2 - population: 4.28 million - capital city: Zagreb. - Croatia is set to become the 28th member state of the European Union on 1 July 2013.

4. National Real Property Registration and Cadastre Program Since 2003, Republic of Croatia, through the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the State Geodetic Administration (SGA), has been implementing the National Real Property Registration and Cadastre Program, known as Organized Land (Uređena zemlja). Real Property Registration and Cadastre Project (2003 – 2010) The main goal of the Project was to built effective system of land administration, with effective real estate market by decreasing corruption and supporting private sector development. Integrated Land Administration System Project (2011- ) The Real Property Registration and Cadastre Joint system information (JIS) or rather a unified database and application for keeping and maintaining the real property registration and cadastre data have been developed.

5. National Real Property Registration and Cadastre Program - Achievements made in the last few years - Digital Cadastral Map Central Database - Digital Orthophoto Maps - Croatian Positioning System (CROPOS) - court network rationalization - digitization of land registers - the e-Land Registry portal and the cadastral database on-line - SGA Geoportal - reduced backlogs, improved customer relationships and legislation -...

12. Nekretnine JOINT INFORMATION SYSTEM - JIS develoment an establishment - the most significant and most challenging project activity - data linking (two ministries, two institutions) - SGA and the Ministry of Justice - improving the quality of data, business processes and procedures and creating the legislative framework - the JIS Joint Working Group (JWG) - highlighted as an example of best practice in the development of IT projects

13. Nekretnine JIS LR CADASTRE DCM Central database + 37 local office databases for DCM maintance www.katastar.hr http://e-izvadak.pravosudje.hr Digital archive (SGA, MoJ) JOINT INFORMATION SYSTEM IGEA MCS IGEA CAD a/n DB1 MCS CAD a/n DB2 ZG cadastre 112 a/n cadastre databases + ZG cadastre IGEA LR a/n DB 109 Land registry databases Register of spatial data Personal identification number

14. JOINT INFORMATION SYSTEM JIS - web aplication - process oriented Infrastructure 1. internal application only for authorized personnel (MOJ and SGA) 2. applications with full public access to information – PIA Architecture 1.presentation layer 2.logical layer 3.data layer Used technologies Oracle Weblogic Portal Server, Oracle Weblogic application server, IBM FileNet.

19. ZIS Key challenges JIS LAND REGISTER CADASTRE Legal changes were ongoing in parallel with the JIS development which caused changes in the requirements. Rengineering of existing business processes that are too complex Very little harmonized data between the cadastre and land register, poor quality of data, various business procedures and data definitions, various old applications for maintaining graphical and alphanumerical data Difficult to keep experienced IT personnel in the public sector.

20. Lessons learned IT and domain personnel from institutions should actively participate in all project steps from beginning. ZIS JIS LAND REGISTER CADASTRE A three-layer structure of the project management is a strong mechanism for management with clear roles, responsibilities and allocation of authorities. An ICT Strategy should be developed on the start of the project and should be updated periodically during next steps; it includes instuitional and organizational capacity for the ICT Strategy implementation, methodologies and priorities. The risk of development of complex IT systems could be reduced by dividing into smaller units and phases that could be contracted separately. On the other hand, this approach requires enhanced coordination of multiple vendors.

21. Lessons learned ZIS JIS CADASTRE Data quality improvement is a long process and has to start prior to the JIS development. A fat client for advanced graphical functionalities should be taking into consideration instead only thin client (browser) in order to reduce the bandwidth requirements and for better support of the business process. Based on the experience it can be considered whether to develop joint system for several institutions or merge institutions. In order to reduce the licensing costs, consider using less expensive software (open source software). JIS LAND REGISTER CADASTRE

22. Benefits from the JIS implementation Integrated cadastre and land registry data - a unique land database Integrated graphical and alphanumeric data Single centralized application for all cadastral and land registry offices Unique data maintenance ZIS JIS LAND REGISTER CADASTRE More transparent and simplified way of data administration and human resources organization by the management board Speed up the registration of property in the cadastre and land registry system Statistics for all offices Citizens will have more simplified and transparent data access at the one place (one- stop shop)

23. Benefits from the JIS implementation JIS is process-oriented application, accelerating business processes and increasing internal transparency. The ability to review and edit graphical data. Integration with the Geoportal and the ability to view digital ortho-photo data. Integration with the Register of Spatial Data and VAT system. Digital signing of electronically generated documents as the basis for the electronic exchange and centralized printing. Raise the level of legal security in real estate.
