Abstract

The recent rapid development of information technology has brought about increased use of digital geographic information and GIS systems in all aspects of human activity, both locally and globally. This also refers to effective land administration in accordance with the sustainable development principles. Easy access to up-to-date and reliable information on real estate, actual and potential possibilities of its development is the basis for taking decisions related to optimal space use. The cadastre is an institution with several hundred years of tradition, providing information on real estate, originating from the need for taxes on held real estate to be collected by states. Because of its high practical importance, the real estate cadastre is continually corrected and changed. The directions of these changes and the creation of new visions and models result from legal and administrative conditions, society’s need to access to information used in the expanding process of natural resource management as well as from the dynamic development of spatial information technology.
The aim of this publication is to present the developmental directions of the Polish real estate cadastre with special regard to the need for building a multidimensional (3D, 4D) cadastre and an analysis of factors affecting the dynamics of changes in the functioning of the cadastral system.

Keywords: real estate cadastre; multidimensional cadastre; GIS.
