Abstract

This article is mainly concerned to present an overview situation of the cadastral system, passing through a historical outline to the present day. This study provides a brief overview of the cadastral system, including the early period and the first steps such as the creation and consolidation and subsequent development of the same. A review of the North Macedonian Cadastral System, especially the establishment of the Agency for Real Estate Cadastre (AREC), principles of the cadastral system, a historical outline, and the laws on establishing the cadastral system, notably the Law on Real Estate Cadastre are the basic material of this article. This, together with the structure and organization, responsibilities, works, tasks, obligations, financing, and priorities of the AREC in the future are the main purpose and the focus of this paper. Analyzing the current situation of the AREC and identifying the actual problems which the AREC faces, helps us to ensure a safer approach to the problems and challenges of the future. Furthermore, this review has represented the involvement of the private sector and the importance of its involvement. Although, the concept of Cadastre is unique – it is a public register for real estate registration and includes some basic elements such as immovable ownership information, areas, values of the land, and boundaries. As a final summary, we can freely conclude that the focus, priorities, and goals of the AREC are strengthening, coopering with international institutions, being more efficient and effective, and being closer to the citizens.

Kuzey Makedonya kadastro sisteminin gelişimi: Kadastro sistemine genel bakış

Abstract

Bu makale, esas olarak, kadastro sisteminin günümüze tarihsel bir çerçeveden geçerek genel bir durumunu sunmakla ilgilidir. Bu çalışma, kadastro sistemine, erken dönem ve oluşturulması, konsolidasyonu ve daha sonraki gelişimi gibi ilk adımlar dahil olmak üzere kısa bir genel bakış sunmaktadır. Kuzey Makedonya Kadastro Sisteminin bir incelemesi, özellikle Emlak Kadastro Ajansı'nın (AREC) kurulması, kadastro sisteminin ilkeleri, tarihi bir çerçeve ve kadastro sisteminin kurulmasına ilişkin kanunlar, özellikle Emlak Kadastro Kanunu, bu makalenin temel malzemesidir. Bu, yapısı ve organizasyonu, sorumlulukları, çalışmaları, görevleri, yükümlülükleri, finansmanı ve gelecekteki AREC'in öncelikleri ile birlikte bu belgenin ana amacı ve odak noktasıdır. AREC'in mevcut durumunu analiz etmek ve AREC'in karşılaştığı gerçek sorunları belirlemek, geleceğin sorunlarına ve zorluklarına daha güvenli bir yaklaşım sağlamamıza yardımcı olur. Ayrıca, bu inceleme özel sektörün katılımını ve katılımının önemini temsil etmiştir. Her ne kadar kadastro kavramı benzersiz olsa da - gayrimenkul tescili için halka açık bir sicildir ve taşınmaz mülkiyet bilgileri, alanlar, arazi değerleri ve sınırlar gibi bazı temel unsurları içerir. Son olarak, AREC'in odak noktası, öncelikleri ve hedeflerinin güçlenmek, uluslararası kuruluşlarla işbirliği yapmak, daha verimli ve etkili olmak ve vatandaşlara daha yakın olmak olduğunu rahatlıkla söyleyebiliriz.
