A Comparative Analysis of Turkey's and Iran's Land Management Systems and Technological Infrastructure

Abstract

The comparison of cadastral systems worldwide proves challenging, given the profound cultural, linguistic, technical, and social disparities among countries. This complexity extends to the examination of data, encompassing issues related to land policy, laws, regulations, ownership, management, and technology within each nation's cadastral framework, forming the foundation for numerous studies. This article delves into a comparative analysis of the cadastral systems of Turkey and Iran, two nations sharing a common geography, similar cultures, and identical religious beliefs. The focus lies on content examination, exploring historical development, organizational structure, and the comprehensive status of cadastres across both countries. The study further scrutinizes the technologies employed and the mapping infrastructure integral to each nation's cadastral system. This research offers valuable insights into the similarities and differences between these two countries, shedding light on the intricate dynamics of cadastral systems within a shared cultural and geographical context.
