Slovakia

What
Modernisation of the organisation and business processes of the Slovak land register.

When
In the period 2005 - 2006

Where
The working area covers the whole of Slovakia.

Who
Kadaster International was leading this project and was colaborating with the (automation) Company S&T from Slovakia.

Why
At the time of the communist regime, state property was exclusive in Slovakia. Individual ownership rights did not exist. After the collapse of the East bloc Slovakia was left with an out-dated land register that was in no way comparable with the land registers in Western Europe. This led, among other things, to the sluggish economic development of Slovakia. Without legal certainty about their ownership rights, people are less inclined to invest in them. The fact that the Slovak land register failed to comply with European Union directives was, moreover, one of the reasons why Slovakia could not become a member state. For a number of years great efforts were made to change the processes within the land register and this resulted in Slovakia becoming a member state in 2004. The project has been executed as a consequence of the demands of the European Union. Wishing to express its social responsibility, Kadaster has placed its expertise at the disposal of its Slovak sister organisation by way of support. This has also contributed to the country’s economic growth.

How
The first step towards modernising the organisation and business processes of the Slovak land register was realised with money from the European Union. With this financial assistance Kadaster International worked for 1½ years on developing an efficient and effective model for institutional strenghtening, and realised an important improvement of the automated system that enabled an integration between the administrative and geometrical part and copuld be implemented in the whole country. In total, 30 experts from the Netherlands have been engaged on a project basis for specific components within this huge project. With its entry into the EU, Slovakia can now apply to the European Structure Fund. The funds available enable the Slovak land register, in collaboration with Kadaster, among others, to embark on the next step in the modernisation process.

Slowakije

Wat
Modernisering van het Slowaakse kadaster.

Wanneer
Februari 2005 - mei 2006

Waar
Bratislava

Wie
Het project is uitgevoerd in opdracht van de ‘Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Authority of the Slovak Republic’ en is gefinancierd door de EU.

Waarom
Ten tijde van de planeconomie was eigendom van onroerend goed uitsluitend voorbehouden aan de Staat. Individuele eigendomsrechten bestonden niet. Na de ineenstorting van het communisme, had Slowakije niets anders dan een verouderde grondregistratie die niet te vergelijken was met wat men in West Europa kon aantreffen. Dit leidde –onder andere- tot een trage economische ontwikkeling van de Republiek. Zonder zekerheid omtrent eigendom, zullen eigenaren niet investeren in grond en gebouwen. In feite had Slowakije moeite om te voldoen aan de EU toetredingseisen. Men getroostte zich jarenlang veel moeite, en in 2004 kon Slowakije toetreden. Daarna was er de wens om de bestaande kadastrale organisatie te vernieuwen en naar westerse leest te schoeien. Het Nederlandse Kadaster werd daarbij ten voorbeeld gesteld, en werd daarom verzocht daadwerkelijke hulp te bieden.

Hoe
De eerste 1,5 jaar is hard gewerkt aan de ontwikkeling en invoering van meer efficiëntie en effectiviteit van het instituut kadaster. Bovendien werden vele verbeteringen aangebracht aan de bestaande ICT-systemen, zodat een integratie to stand kon komen tussen het administratieve en geometrische deel van de grondregistratie. Ongeveer 30 experts van het Nederlandse Kadaster zijn betrokken geweest bij dit project. Na de toetreding to de EU heeft Slowakije toegang tot de EU structuurfondsen, zodat het geld heeft om verdere verbeteringen door te voeren.
