title: The dynamic aspect of land administration: an often-forgotten component in system design
abstract: Although the establishment of a land administration system is enough of a challenge as it is, the task of keeping the system up to date with developments in society is even more challenging. Initial adjudication and cadastral mapping basically record land tenure as it exists at a given moment, i.e. the static situation. The paper aims to analyse the developments that might occur in a society with respect to tenure, value and use of land. These developments constitute a dynamic component of land administration. As land administration systems have to serve society on a long-term basis and normally have a long-term return on investment, the author recommends taking into account both the static and dynamic component when designing land administration systems
