ADOPTING THE CORE CADASTRAL DOMAIN MODEL (CCDM) WILL POSITIVELY CHANGE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LAND INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

Due to persisting challenges, the land market has become more sophisticated globally in the last two decades. This new realisation has sparked extensive awareness for the registration of land rights and responsibilities. Though, this could also be attributable largely to tenure insecurity in many parts of the world, land registration significantly contributes to economic development and investment. Various land registration systems have been designed in various countries to handle required data efficiently. The Core Cadastre Domain Model (CCDM) is been developed as an enhancement of Cadastre 2014 to increase data-sharing and authenticity beyond a cadastre. Though some antagonists argue that the CCDM may require huge financial investment, it is worth the investment to increase efficiency in land data management. CCDM will change information infrastructure positively – model is simple, flexible and extendable. It will improve information interoperability, organisational cooperation, cost recovery and stimulate investment in the long run. All stakeholders – governments, academicians, financial institutions, tax agencies, real estate firms and vibrant private sector – must put all hands on deck to realise the dreams of the CCDM.
