Land Titles

A proper land registration system, affording security of title at reasonable expense, is essential for the development of a dynamic and progressive economy. Such a system should indicate, quickly and cheaply, to interested persons what lands are being dealt with in any proposed transaction and what legal interests exist in those lands. The present registry system in Nova Scotia does not provide this information readily. The remedy appears to lie in adopting a Torrens system of land titles similar to that which has already proven itself in the western provinces of Canada. The basic advantages of the Torrens system over the registry system are enumerated.

This is the second of two papers examining the new Land Titles Act in New Brunswick. The first paper reviewed trends and developments in land registration systems against which this legislation has been measured. This paper describes the new act in general and makes a critical review of various aspects. The review concentrates mainly on administrative and technical issues with particular emphasis on surveying and mapping. In recognition that the new legislation cannot be examined in isolation, the existing conveyancing and deeds registration system is briefly described, as is the existing cadastral survey system and the operation of the Land Registration and Information Service (LRIS) in the province.

The article focuses on the main legal aspects of the land registry system in Ukraine. Research allowed to identify theshortcomings of the existent, inefficient land registry system, which significantly increase the conflict potential of land matters.The article also covers the preconditions needed for the establishment of an ef ficient land registry system based on the lessonslearned from land surveying activities of the Ministry of Defense. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive description of thecurrent state of the national land registry system of Ukraine. The paper highlights factors enabling the development of a cohesivesystem of measures, that would allow to significantly improve management of the land registry system of Ukraine. A list ofreasons has been provided, justifying a lack of an all-encompassing registration of the military land parcels of the Ministry ofDefense of Ukraine. Besides, many other topical issues related to the military land were identified, including systematicshortcomings that intervene with the comprehensive and legal usage of real estate assets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Inorder to ensure that the real estate and land parcel management system conforms to the law, preconditions for the establishmentof a computerized military land and real estate registration system were identified. Research findings included suggestionsrelated to the establishment of land management, registry and land registration center in the structure of MOD, which would dealwith issues related land management, registry and land registration. To ensure direct control and timely response such centerwould have subordinated detachments. The article provides a list of suggestions for the establishment of an efficient controlover the land fund of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which will not only simplify the process of stock taking, but also will speed upthe process of land parcel transfer to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Despite its rich history, the evolution of the coordinate referencing system in Nova Scotia has not been well documented. As the foundation for the property boundary fabric and land registration system for the province, it is critical that this knowledge is maintained. It is the key to being able to link surveys of the past with the pres ent. This research strives to capture important coordinate referencing knowledge from those that have worked with the system and have since retired from the Nova Scotia provincial government or former Land Registration and Information Service. A detailed review of documentation discussing various historical aspects of coordinate referencing in Nova Scotia was conducted. Personnel involved with the implementation of the systems were interviewed to pro vide first-hand accounts of operational details. This information is captured and is presented chronologically. An outlook on the future of the coordinate referencing program is also discussed.

Gaza Strip suffers from a lack of advanced techniques that help and support land registration such as GIS technology. The currently-used-system for land registration in the Gaza Strip is extremely traditional and not able to meet the increasing demand. Conflicts between data on maps and on ground are frequently faced and decisions relating to these problems cannot easily be made. Such an out of date system leads to difficulties in tracking and updating land owners and identifying the actual current owners. This research aims to suggest a new automatic land registration system in the Gaza Strip. Through a multi users unified database with identified access per each user, this new system will ease land registration for both Gaza citizens as well as the Palestinian Land Authority's (PLA) employees. A user-friendly web-based GIS tool is developed to accelerate the land registration process, in addition to providing a decision support system through easily managing and interpreting attribute and spatial data in a precise logical way. The aforementioned new developed tools will create and maintain an accurate, secure and comprehensive land registration system in the Gaza Strip.

DEEDS REGISTRATION AND TITLE REGISTRATION: MODEL SOLUTIONS CONCERNING LAND REGISTRIES IN THE COMMON LAW SYSTEMSummary The aim of this article is to present the two main land registration models in the common law countries, i.e. deeds recordation and title registration, taking into account the broader historical perspective indicating their origins, evolution and developments, as well as the current state of legal regulations in the field of registration of interest in land. The system of deeds recordation is characterized on the basis of regulations adopted in the vast majority of the US states, whereas the title registration model is presented against the background of the Torrens system, the origins of which date back to 19th-century Australian legislation. From Australia this particular land registration system spread to other continents. A comparison is carried out of the two systems, taking into account their advantages and disadvantages, and the reasons for the global success of the title registration model are indicated. On the grounds of the regulations adopted in Scotland and the Republic of South Africa the author makes also an attempt to characterize the mixed systems, which are generally based on the deeds recordation model but emploi some solutions typical for the title registration system. Concluding the article, the author tries to indicate the particular characteristics of title registration model which could be a source of inspiration for the potential optimization of the Polish land registry system.

Property Identification

After almost a century of several attempts to establish a coherent land registration system across the whole country, in 2017 the Portuguese government decided to try a new, digital native approach to the problem. Thus, a web-based platform was created, where property owners from 10 pilot municipalities could manually identify their lands’ properties using a map based on satellite images. After the first month of submissions, it became clear that at the current daily rate, it would take years to achieve the goal of 100% rural property identification across just the 10 municipalities. Field research during the first month after launch enabled us to understand landowners’ relationships with their land, map their struggles with the platform, and prototype ways to improve the whole service. Understanding that these improvements would still not be enough to get to the necessary daily rate, we designed, tested and validated an algorithm that allows us to identify a rural property shape and location without coordinates. Today, we are able to help both Government and landowners identify a rural property location with the click of a button.

Effective Implementation

Many governments across Sub Saharan Africa are in the process of introducing or improving land registration and formal titling systems. One of the stated aims is to achieve modern land information management in order to facilitate the development of the land market. It is often assumed that, because formal systems and institutions have enjoyed some positive outcomes in terms of realising wealth in developed countries, they will succeed equally well in developing economies. However, findings from empirical studies across several developing countries show that the performance of formal land registration systems has been mixed. Relying on empirical data from two major cities in Ghana, this paper examines the operations of land registration system with particular reference to its land information management aspects. The analysis shows that a divergence in the implementation of principles of the legal framework and organisational challenges are major contributory factors to deficiencies in the land information regime of the land registration system. Hence, there is a need for effective implementation of well-crafted and functional legal frameworks for land registration, to ensure that the principles and operations of land registration are locally relevant and sensitive. To address the inadequate organisational capacity there is a need to improve the capacity of the human resource base of the officials of the formal land administration sector. The procedure for land registration must also be streamlined in order to eliminate unnecessary requirements and thereby reduce the transaction time, costs of registration and frustration of clients.

Problem setting. The article analyzes the issue of legal relations in the field of land accounting. The legal nature of public relations in this area has been clarified. The accounting of the quantity and quality of land is investigated. The author’s definition of legal relations in the field of land accounting is provided. The circle of subjects of these legal relations is outlined. Analysis of recent researches and publications. To date, in the scientific literature there is no comprehensive study of the legal regulation of legal relations in the field of land accounting. There are only developments devoted to certain issues of land law science. Target of research. The study of the legal regulation of legal relations arising in the field of land accounting, the allocation of subjects of these legal relations. Article’s main body Justification of the appropriateness of obtaining, systematizing all the resources available on the land plot, determining the size, quality status and distribution of the land fund, providing the necessary data about the land, studying the legal relations arising on this occasion. The basis of the land registration and registration system in Ukraine is the State Land Cadastre. It reflects the subjective information on land, which accumulates as a result of land accounting. Such information is necessary primarily for the implementation of state control over the use, reproduction and protection of land. Only a legally regulated and wellmaintained process of conducting accounting and registration activities in the field of land relations can become the key to the introduction and functioning of a transparent mechanism for the circulation of land in market conditions and an effective mechanism for managing them. In this aspect, it is important to note that it is necessary to distinguish land accounting in the proper sense and land rights accounting (as a broader category compared to the first). In the context of the land registration reform and the further process of improving the State Land Cadastre, it is necessary to talk about the formation of land information relations. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Land accounting relationships are public relations that arise in connection with the activities of public authorities and local governments, which are endowed with appropriate powers to take measures to obtain, systematize and analyze information on the quantity, territorial location and use of land. The subjects of these legal relationships are landowners and land users, the state, state authorities and local selfgovernments, who are vested with the respective powers.
