Activities of Commission 7 Cadastre and land management of FIG

Abstract

This article reviews the activities of FIG (International Federation of Surveyors) Commission 7 about Cadastre and Land Management for the period 2023-2026, which are organized thematically and managed autonomously through eight Working Groups. The terms of reference and the most relevant activities of each Working Group (WG) are included. In recent decades, several standards, guidelines and policy tools have been developed and adopted at the global level, such as the ISO standard on the Land Administration Domain Model or, more briefly, LADM; the fit-for-purpose Land Administration; and the Framework for Effective Land Administration, known as FELA. All these initiatives have contributed to raising awareness to support responsible land governance within the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
