Abstract

This paper is a summary of the annual evaluations and forthcoming tasks by the heads of the Department of Land Administration and Geoinformation in the Ministry of Agriculture, the Department of Land Registration and Mapping in the Office of the Prime Minister, and the Hungarian Society of Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing. After the radical administrative changes in the sectorial management of surveying and mapping, one of the most important tasks – in addition to forming the operation of the new organizations – was to prepare the modification of laws regulating the operation of this sector in 2020 too. The forming of transparent and clear land ownership, including the completion of delivering the partial proportions in process within a reasonable time, the continuation of the programme of terminating the undivided common properties and the implementation of the e-real estate project are tasks that are of primary importance in the life of the supreme authorities in the new year. The activity of the Hungarian Society of Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing was greatly affected by the first and second waves of the Covid-19 pandemic, which hit Hungary too in 2020. The Society has, though with some delay, effectively moved its activity of realizing its objectives to the virtual space offered by the internet. The online conferences and corporate events bear witness to the success of this transformation. © 2021, Hungarian Society of Surveying, Mapping and Remote sensing. All rights reserved.
