Abstract |
| Until recently the cadastral parcel has been primarily used for land registration and land planning purposes. It has been pivotal in the cadastral domain in finding information on land and providing access to rights, restrictions and use. The INSPIRE directive has defined the cadastral parcel as one of its core elements. In the Inspire-context the parcel is the smallest, land-covering spatial element basically available in all (European) countries. This gives the parcel a new lease of life. Apart from being at the basis of land administration and land management it will more and more become a basic element in spatial information management in general. Based on the excellent work of the UNECE on real property units a joint working group of Eurogeographics and the Permananent Committee on Cadastres in the European Union (PCC) has elaborated on the role of the cadastral parcel in spatial data infrastructures (SDI's) in general. The paper deals with our findings and gives a deep insight in the possible roles of the parcel. As a spatial element the parcel is not directly linked to properties, but finds its use as the smallest common geographic unit that is widely available and well updated. In this role the parcel is a locator. Its elements are related to its position, boundaries, area and its history. Given the importance of land registries and cadastres its updating is warranted. In a way the parcel has rejuvinated itself: it will continue to serve cadastres but increasingly will be the large-scale core element of SDI's.
