Land registration is the official recording of legally recognized in-
terests in land and is usually a part of a cadastral system. From a legal
perspective a distinction can be made
between deeds registration,
where the documents filed in the registry are the evidence of title, and
registration of title, in which the register itself serves as the primary
evidence. Title registration is usually
considered as more advanced
registration system, which requires more investment for introduction,
but provides in principle greater security of tenure and more reliable
information. Title registration usually results in lower transaction
costs than deed registration systems thereby promoting a more effi-
cient land market.
Land registration (land titling) can be undertaken sporadically at
the time of each legal transaction or systematically, area by area.
While the sporadic approach gives more immediate benefits to indi-
vidual
land holders, the systematic approach provides a wider range of
benefits more quickly, especially if the land registry is a part of a more
comprehensive land information system.
The basic unit in a Cadastre is known as the parcel. A parcel can
be an area of land with
a particular type of land use, or an area exclu-
sively controlled by an individual or a group. A property may consist
of several parcels. The flexibility of the definition of a parcel makes it
possible to adapt the cadastral system to various circumstances, for in-
stance to include large parcels to represent the interests
of land use in
traditional tenure systems.
