Land record management system is an important area for internal government management and e-government services for citizens. Its related processes and applications are dependant on the legal framework of land affairs. Many a times, land disputes are resolved using cadastre as a fundamental source of data. However, technological progress, social change, globalization, and the increasing interconnection of business relations with their legal and environmental consequences put a strain on the traditional cadastral systems. Cadastre 2014, proposed by FIG-Commission 7 of the International Federation of Surveyors, is a framework with a vision for future trends. Based on the six statements of Cadastre 2014, we compared the current cadastral systems of 41 countries with Cadastre 2014. Attempt has been made to find gap, compare and rank objectively, cadastral systems of different developing as well as developed countries.

3. Abstract
∗ Land record management system is an important area for
internal government management and e-government services
for citizens. Its related processes and applications are

∗ Cadastre 2014, proposed by FIG-Commission 7 of the
International Federation of Surveyors, is a framework with a
vision for future trends. Based on the six statements of Cadastre
2014.
∗ we compared the current cadastral systems of 41 countries with

recovery will play a role.
∗ Cadestre 2014 describes six statements
By FIG Commission 7
(International Federation of Surveyors)

5. Statement 1

12. Survey for Cadestre System
∗ Data Collection
∗ Primary source: existing surveys by FIG-7
∗ Assumption/Limitation
∗ It is difficult to fit in the generic statements in scale 0-2
∗ Results and Analysis
∗ Table shows data of 41 countries regarding 6 questions
∗ Six statements evaluated on the scale 0-2
∗ Country type is taken from world bank categorization

14. Ranking of Developed Countries
2003

15. Ranking of Developing Countries

16. Conclusion
∗ Determined the level implementation of six
statements of Cadaster 2014 across 41 countries
∗ It is obvious that developed countries have high value
of implementation rather than developing countries
