For a systemic and nationwide structuring for the Brazilian territorial cadastre

Abstract

A proposal for systemic management for the administration of the Brazilian cadastral system at national level, involving aspects related to the organizational structure, responsibilities, technical and legal issues is presented in this article. The analysis of the main documents elaborated during the international conferences of the UN, as well as scientific works, showed the necessity and importance of the consolidation of national structures and the description of the organizational structure of the cadastre around the world. Furthermore, a vision of the Brazilian cadastre, presenting the history and organizational structure of the urban and rural cadastres as well a vision on land governance for Brazil, was discussed. The proposal presented for a systemic structuring of the Brazilian cadastre, focused mainly on the lack of technical rigor in the elaboration of the municipal urban cadastres, as well as in the respective validations of these cadastres and other thematic cadastres produced in Brazil. This proposition presented here involves the establishment of a National Territorial Cadastre System (SNCT) and its operational structure, as well as the creation of a National Certification Service for the Territorial Cadastre (SNCCT), integrated and articulated with existing structures - the National System of Cadastre Information Management (SINTER) and the National Certification and Accreditation Committee (CNCC / INCRA / SIGEF). The proposal follows the main international rules for the development of cadastral systems based on existing initiatives and structures, taking advantage of national expertise.
