A preliminary research on methodology for establishing legal infrastructure regarding public law restrictions cadastre in Türkiye

Abstract

Cadastre is a parcel-based information system that determines and records real estate's legal status and geometric features. Throughout the world, the production, storage, and sharing of land tenure, land value, and land use information are generally managed within the scope of cadastral activities. Today, the cadastre has begun to transform into a multi-purpose structure that includes other data related to the land. The land property consists of three main components: rights, restrictions, and responsibilities. The property right is limited. Private ownership of the property is restricted by law to protect public interests. For instance, zoning, coastal, forest, and expropriation laws include several articles that can directly limit property rights. The report titled "Cadastre 2014 – A Vision for the Future Cadastral System," published by FIG in 1998, can be shown as among the essential studies guiding cadastral activities worldwide. Statement 1 of Cadastre 2014 aims to register the entire legal status of the land, including public restrictions. With the effects of Cadastre 2014, some studies named PLR Cadastre have been carried out to include public law restrictions into its cadastral system in Switzerland. With PLR – Cadastre, legal restrictions on land are visible and accessible. This study aims to determine a methodology for establishing legal infrastructure regarding PLR cadastre activities in Türkiye.
