Using Cartographic Documents to Provide Geoinformation on the Rights to Real Estate—Taking Poland as an Example

Abstract

The current and planned EU regulations concerning INSPIRE have forced the Member States to develop national geoportals. The aim of creating geospatial data infrastructure was to unify the exchange of data at a national level, and consequently to create the INSPIRE geoportal by the Community Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC), which is to be the center of the European network of geospatial data infrastructure. New opportunities and new solutions to the problems have emerged through the use of thematic layers. The rights to the land each have potential restrictions on its use, and these rights can sometimes prevent the land from being used for its intended purpose. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the possibility of developing maps showing the utility networks and the right to the land acquired by the utility company. The authors carried out a SWOT analysis of the systemic use of cartographic documents as a way of disclosing the rights to real estate in order to set up utility networks in Poland. The authors examined the impact of this solution on future property owners (investors) to provide them with full knowledge about a given area of real estate. Remote sensing methods may be useful for the disclosure of rights on maps of technical infrastructure, because currently there is no such information in the systems. The developed solution should be used by both local and national geoportals.

Sustainable Transport: An Efficient Transportation Network—Case Study

“…Firstly, the idea of sustainable development [21] was focused on multi-annual problems [22] associated with environment and climate change [23]. The debate considering sustainable city development is today based on the idea of creating compact cities to provide them with balanced development [24].…”

Applications of GIScience for Land Administration

“…The authors show, how the utility network in Serbia is currently modelled and how it could be included in the LADM. Ogryzek et al [27] discuss visualization of utility networks as an example. They demonstrate the possibility of developing maps showing both, the utility network and the land rights registered by the utility company.…”

A Comparative Study of Various Land Use and Land Cover Change Models to Predict Ecosystem Service Value

“…Land use and land cover (LULC) influence the structure and function of ecosystems through biogeochemical cycles. It is the closest link between people and nature and is closely related to the achievement of sustainable development goals [ 9 ]. Humans can alter the structure and patterns of LULC through high-intensity land use activities, resulting in rapid urban expansion, heightened tensions between humans and the environment, and impacts on natural ecosystems [ 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”
