Surveying and Mapping Strategy for Supporting the Emerging Land Market In Albania

Abstract

This article describes the strategy and procedures that are followed in Albania for the production of cadastral maps and the importance of these maps for the Immovable Property Registration System (IPRS), which will serve the future land market. The procedure for producing base cadastral maps for registration purposes is to use existing maps, appropriate scales, and transform these into one, unique coordinate system. The strategy for surveying and mapping is to begin with the existing level of technology and gradually introduce new techniques.
