Determining the Time Aspects to Activate the Dynamic Nature of Cadastral Data in the Syrian Cadastral System

Abstract

The cadastral system in Syria is one of the public sectors of the state that was developed to facilitate land management. Every day, a lot of cadastral transactions are completed, through which we face a big challenge that includes the spatial and temporal aspects in managing the Syrian cadastral system. Not knowing the time difference or the correct time of cadastral data leads to unexpected and unpredictable errors; therefore, the required temporal information must be studied correctly when designing cadastral data models.

This research mainly focuses on studying the temporal aspects of the Syrian cadastral system. Therefore, an overview of the Syrian cadastral system was presented, then it has been clarified the basic functions of time in cadastral systems and the temporal aspects in the Syrian cadastral system. After that, we discussed the dynamics of the cadastral system in Syria by studying the most important cadastral transactions that are achieved daily in the cadastral departments and the impact of that on the spatial and nonspatial data related to parcels in different time periods.
