3-D cadastre in the UK and the Russian Federation: information support to and problem aspects

The purpose of this article is to study issues related to the development and application of information technologies in the field of land accounting and distribution in the Russian Federation and in the UK. In the UK, unlike in Russia, there is no cadastre in the usual sense of the word, but at the same time there are effective economic and information mechanisms for accounting and distribution of land. UK land law does not have the concept of ownership of the land itself, but rather rights to it. They are called estates, and estates are the building block of the land information management system, not land plots. Estates are four-dimensional structures that include time as a dimension. The author concludes that although there is a mandatory land registration in the UK and proof of ownership is made by entering an entry in the land register in the Torrens style, there is no Central record of the exact location of borders. The British economy is one of the largest in the world, and the real estate market and its information support are active and efficient. Factors such as the prevalence of the rule of law, protection of property rights, good standards of corporate and professional management, as well as the openness and transparency of information systems for land accounting and distribution are essential for the effective development of the information accounting unit for economically significant indicators in both countries.
