Abstract

     Following the merger of the cadastral and property registration services into a single administration called the Provincial Directorate for Cartography and Property Registration, which is responsible for the implementation of the property system and the preparation of cadastres, this merger was established by Executive Decree No. 21/393 of 18/10/2022, which defines the organisation of the external services of the General Directorate for National Property and its powers. 

The aim of the merger was to reduce the various discrepancies resulting from the existence of two separate administrations and the lack of coordination between them, which affected the services provided to citizens. At the same time, the legislator decided to create a modern electronic administration by activating the digitalisation of the Directorate's activities, in order to keep pace with technological and information developments and thus achieve strategic advantages in the provision of public services. 

Our aim was to highlight the foundations of the digitisation applications of the Directorate of Land Surveying and Property Registration, with the aim of understanding the services covered by surveying, while also highlighting the challenges of digitisation, including obstacles and future prospects.
