Building Modern Land Administration Systems
Serrat, Olivier; Buentjen, Claudia; Reyes, Ma. Lourdes | April 2015
Abstract
Effective systems for recording land ownership, land values, and land use are the foundation on which the efficient operation of a market economy depends. The Government of the Philippines knows that both land and information about land must be husbanded. It looks to streamline laws and regulations for property rights, valuation, and taxation as well as organizations, standards, and technological processes. To build a modern land administration system, policy issues should be tackled first, but, policy goals cannot be achieved unless there is—most urgently at local level—a functioning land administration infrastructure with up-to-date and accessible information technology.
