Background
Greece has started a major cadastral project which
aims at the establishment of a new title land registration
system based on cadastral maps and unique identification of the parcels
which will
form the Hellenic Cadastre.
The establishment is expected
to be carried out during a 15 year long period and
the total costs are estimated to
about 2 500 million USD. The new Hellenic Cadastre
will cover the whole country of 131 600 km2 and include
an estimated number of 15 million
land parcels.
 The population of Greece is about 10,2
million. Financing for the first phase of the project
has been secured with 180 million
USD of which the European Union contributes 75% and
the Greek Government 25% The project is the responsibility
of the Hellenic Mapping and Cadastral
Organisation (HEMCO), which belongs to the Ministry
of Environment and Public Works. A special state owned
limited company has been formed to
be in charge of the execution. The reform will among
others mean that the responsibility for cadastral registration
will be taken over from
the present deed registration system, operated by about
400 Mortgage Offices by HEMCO.
Swedesurvey provides services
The project has started with adoption of legislation, organisation
of the implementation company and carrying out of two pilot projects
of data capture. A first step for real data capture has started in 40
areas by private companies through an international competition. Swedesurvey
has been awarded a contract to collect data for one of these areas of
approximately 118 km2. The work should be finalised in two years and
include:
- Production of basic topographic maps as line maps in
scale 1:1000 for a city of about 60 000 inhabitants and production of
orthophotos in scale 1:5000 for three rural villages.
Collection and control of ownership declarations from
land owners in the area, stating their demands on ownership over land.
- Compilation of cadastral maps for all land parcels in
the area.
- A first suspension of the result of the inventory with
cadastral maps and title books.
- After review and decisions by a Committee of first degree
of appeals, update the cadastral maps and title books and organise a
second suspension.
- After review by a Committee of second degree of appeals,
update the cadastral maps and title books.
- Delivery of the final result to the implementation company.
To carry out the work, Swedesurvey will develop a data
capture system based on the Autoka PC system (APC). During the process,
the material should be updated with transactions occurring during the
data capture period. The implementation company will through a separate
tender develop a land information system to which the data will be delivered
and updated in the future by the state owned organisation.
