3D Cadastre for Land Administration: Some issues about the Moroccan context

Abstract

With the fast world population growing, the efficient use of land properties became of great necessity. In this context, the traditional two-dimensional (2D) cadastral management mode cannot satisfy the need of current 3D land use and 3D urban planning (Guo et al. 2014). So, developing a 3D cadastral system is a very promising solution for land administration. However, the development of such a solution can be faced to some challenged issues related to economic, legal, technical and organizational aspects. In this paper, we present some basics about the 3D cadastre in Land governance. Then, we discuss some issues about migrating to a 3D cadastre solution. Finally, we propose some ideas and reflections about the adoption of a 3D Moroccan cadastral system.
