Why carry out a survey?
• How well are we performing compared to other organisations?
• What are the best practices?• Are there any new trends emerging?• What improvement opportunities should we
focus upon?
The expected benefits of a survey
• Cross-country comparisons of performance• Comparisons over time• Demonstrate strengths and weaknesses• Justify need for reform and improvement• Monitor performance and improvement• Promotion of universal standards
Structure of the Survey
• Preliminary questions• Definitions• System of Registration• % Coverage• Availability online and online usage• Security of Title• Taxes and Charges• Fees charged for registration and services
Structure of the Survey
• Speed of Registration• Activity• Complexity and automation• Multipurpose Cadastre• Efficiency• Gender Equality• Address Register
Conduct of the Survey
• Survey based upon 2011 data• Respondents were invited to complete the
survey online• Information gathered throughout 2012
Respondents to the Survey
Significant Findings

• A further 11 respondents reported < 20% informal settlements
• No discernable geographical pattern
Online Maps• 17% of respondents
confirmed that 100% of maps and mapping data is online and available for inspection
• Significant progress since 2005 survey
Online Inspections

• 7 respondents reported 100% of inspections are carried out online
• A further 7 reported that >80% of inspections are online
Applications for Copy Titles

Conclusions and further steps
Main Findings
• Coverage of Land Registration systems is increasing – larger % of land registered
• ICT playing a significantly greater role• Information is more accessible• Turnaround times are decreasing
However……
• The study relates to 2011 data• Less than 50% of jurisdictions in the UNECE
region submitted information• The study was very wide ranging, it was
difficult to identify the relevant people in each individual jurisdiction
Further Steps
• We must keep information up to date• Ongoing smaller surveys looking at specific
elements• We must seek a greater level of participation
amongst all the member states in the region
