The Danish cadastre, which derived from the results of
the enclosure movement, was established in the year 1844.
From the beginning the cadastre consisted of two parts; the
cadastral register and the cadastral maps. Both of these
7

7


components have been updated continually ever since. The
purpose of establishing the cadastre was to levy land taxes
based on the yielding capacity of rural properties. Of
historical interest the first Danish cadastre was created in
1688, however it lost its value over the years since there
were no maps and no provision for updating the register.
As a result of the enclosure movement, the former
feudalistic society was changed into a society based on
private ownership to land. The necessary maps for
implementing this process were surveyed by plane table at
the scale of 1:4,000. This basic mapping took place during
the last two decades of the eighteenth century. The resulting
property framework from the enclosure movement formed
the basis for the new cadastral maps. This meant that there
were no legal survey measurements defining original
property boundaries. Each map normally includes a village
and the associated cultivated areas. As a result the maps are

"island maps" covering different areas and are not based on
any local or national control network.

Remote sensing is a technique that enables to observe
the radiation scattered or emitted by the Earth surface.
Satellite-based remote sensing allows regular, repetitive,
accurate observations of nearly the whole planet, at various
spatial and temporal scales, in several wavelength fields.
Such observations render the nature, state, temporal and
spatial variations of the properties of the objects at the
Earth surface. By way of example, water-covered areas,
roughness, soil moisture, changes in the nature of land,
density and phenological evolution of the vegetation cover,
sand winds, are information included in these
observations. Nevertheless, these observations usually
combine together, making them more or less difficult to
extract from the raw data transmitted by satellites. The
science of remote sensing consists in interpreting and
processing the series of spatial and temporal images in
order to extract such parameters, qualitatively or
quantitatively. Desertification is a phenomenon of
9

irreversible land degradation. It results from complex
processes linked to the coupled and joint evolution of
natural and human-induced factors. The beginning,
development and results of such processes are materialised
by land surface states and their evolution.

There are four land administration functions: land tenure,
land value, land use and land development
Different countries will also put varying emphasis on each
of the four functions, depending on their cultural basis and
level of economic development
Property rights are normally concerned with ownership and
tenure
Land Administration Systems (LAS) facilitate the
implementation of land policies in both developed and
