A Performance Assessment Model for Cadastral Survey System Evaluation

Abstract

SUMMARY As an indispensable land administrative function, a cadastral survey system operates to provide spatial related cadastral dataset to the society. A sound cadastral survey system should fit for the purpose of the land administration system in fulfilling its societal requirements. Few studies have assessed the efficiency and effectiveness of a cadastral survey system. This paper describes an on-going research project on building a multi-criteria performance assessment model for cadastral survey systems evaluation. A set of criteria and performance indicators are defined. These model parameters are applied to compare different stakeholders’ opinions under a common framework and measuring the performance of individual system by normalized yardsticks. The model builds a platform to show different understandings of the cadastral survey systems. It evaluates each system performance based on land stakeholders’ judgements and the achieved performance datasets. With sufficient feedbacks, a robust framework can be established to share ideas on how well the current cadastral survey system fits for the “purpose” from the society. This paper emphasizes the
