1. 6th EC-GI and GIS Workshop Computerisation of County Land Offices in Hungary Piroska Zalaba project manager Ministry of Agriculture and Regional Development Department of Lands and Mapping Lyon France, 28-30 June 2000

2. Land registration in Hungary Since 1972 the Ministry has been responsible for both • land property registration and • large scale cadastral maps • Land Management Sector: overall responsibility • land management: registration, valuation, land use and protection • large scale cadastral and topographic mapping • unified land registry and cadastre • infrastructure development: Land Information Systems • complex land management

3. Structure of the land management sector Total staff over 4800 Annual budget approx. 45 million ECU (80% by the state, 20% land office income)

4. Main tasks of the land offices • County Land Office (CLO)  intermediate management level - supervisory management of DLOs (technical support, quality control, budget control) - specific project activities • District Land Office (DLO)  operational level - daily maintanenca of registration data sets - service of registration data

5. Land office services

6. Modernisation strategy for Land Management of MoA (1996) Strategic objectives of IT development: 1. computerisation of land offices 2. country wide remote acces to land information (legal and geographic) 3. on-line access for registered users 4. electronic communication within the sector 5. development of an integrated client-oriented NLIS 6. renewing and digitising of cadastral and topographic base map series

7. “The computerisation of land offices” 1990: EU PHARE supported programme • modernisation of land registration sector comprehensive modernisation programme to introduce IT systems • to establish the infrastructural background - technical assistance - provision of supplies and services

8. Implementation Phase A: 1994 - June 97 • Complex Decentralised (CDPRS) with PC LANs: creating databases in district land offices (Novell, Dataflex) • Property sheet and application registration system for the Capital District Land Office (Unix, Oracle) • Mapping system for CDLO (Infocam, Solaris, Oracle) • TAKAROS strategy for DLOs and CLOs

9. Implementation Phase B: July 1997-99 • TAKAROS DLO installation of hardware, software and LIS application: computerised procedures (Windows NT, Oracle, MicroStation, MGE) • TAKARNET: wide area network for 140 sites - provide integrated network for the sector • national access to land registration services via electronic communication media 1999-2002: META (TAKAROS CLO) GIS value added products

10. Complex Land Information System • TAKAROS for DLOs - integrated management of property sheets and cadastral maps - data service for individuals, e.g. citizens, surveyors • META (TAKAROS for CLOs) - supports the parcel-based information system for IACS - extends the usage of the network with realising marketing purposes, commercial trading of value added information etc. - MIS for the sector etc.

11. Role of META - strategic aims • Incresing the reliability and safety of DLO by technical support • Promoting the land mortgage system • Incresing the income by new products • Supporting the local authorities with LO data • Supporting national mapping activities by providing digital cadastral maps • Supporting EU membership (land use monitoring) • Stimulating land market etc.

12. Technical profile of META • IT strategy defines META general requirements Technical details in project Technical Specification • Structure of functions  6 functional groups Structure of technical tools also elaborated 1. Archive sub-system - core META module - archiving all land office data in CLOs

13. Functional Groups 2. Back-end data processing DLO cannot manipulate data under application level - check e.g. topological errors - moving data from one DLO to another 3. Producing GI products - data processing facility at CLOs - data model independent

14. Functional Groups 4. Wide-range distribution of data products - freeware application for GI dat transfer - promotes communication between diffferent GI systems 5. Internet-based communication - establishing graphical data services for Internet - extends the usage of TAKARNET 6. Management Information System - supporting LO managers

15. Zooming in the structure

16. E.g: Back-end data processing

17. Implementation of the project META consists of 12 inter-related sub-projects National budget: 25% of the total costs Delay - slow Phare administration -new schedule

18. Summary Over the past 6 years the development has resulted • a strong technical infrastructure

19. Summary • to support the implementation of- a modern land management system - an open land registration - an integrated, National Land Information Service • to improve efficiency and cost recovery • to ensure better data quality and data security • to supportland and property market • to promote the EU harmonisation process
