We, as the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, are honored to be inviting you and hosting this grand international meeting which will be held in Istanbul between the 20th and 24th of April, 2015. İdris GÜLLÜCE The Minister In our globalizing world, land registration is of great importance for countries’ development. The concept of “Cadastre” forms the basis of land administration and needs to be better understood by nations and individuals. Because, while maintaining a secure land ownership structure the cadastre creates the new areas for better livable cities and environment. In order for countries to form modern property infrastructures for land management and to have ideal cadastral systems, the need for new and dynamic cadastral structures which are integrated with contemporary information technologies and has global values, is obvious. This is the reason why we planned to organize the “World Cadastre Summit, Conference and Exhibition”: to discuss Cadastre in every aspect and to adopt technical and legal land administration principles. By this special organization, world’s leading scientists, experts, researchers, managers and public and private sector representatives in the field of Cadastre will come together and share their knowledge, thoughts and projects. And by this organization, it is aimed to create a mutual Cadastre vision for our common world and common future. We wanted to map our future together by sharing our experiences. This is why the event’s theme is designated as “Let us Cadastre the World...” Within the scope of the event, along with keynote speakers, oral presentations, private workshops and training sessions, and a special “Summit” session will be held with participation of country representatives. Also an exhibition that will give the public and private sector representatives an opportunity to share their works and technologies will be open to all participants throughout the event. As an addition to the scientific program, participants will find an opportunity to closely experience Istanbul’s and Turkey’s extraordinary social and cultural heritage and values by social activities and will have unforgettable moments. I would like once more to express our pride for hosting this extensive scientific event that will tackle an important subject as “Cadastre” in a worldwide scope and also for inviting you, prominent guests to Istanbul. Kind regards, MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND URBANIZATION 2 wcadastre.org İdris GÜLLÜCE, The Minister of Environment and Urbanization Ankara, Turkey Welcoming Messages Greeting from The Generel Director Dear Friends, Land registry and Cadastre service, today, is a dynamic chain of service covering services such as preparing source data for all kinds of planning and organization on the ground and underground, providing geo-data and displaying topographic structure, producing data that can meet the information need required for economy, law, statistics, management, planning and various different scientific researches as well as all kinds of contractual transactions related to land registry and register of immovable properties, to follow-up, and control changes on the registers, to ensure the protection of archive records and documents.

Prof. Dr. Tahsin YOMRALIOGLU The Chairman of WCS Today as all of you aware of that Cadastre is a big challenge in all aspects of the landrelated progression, from the basic property use to geo-data assembly, analysis and dissemination. It plays great roles in allowing people, governments, local communities, non-government organizations and the academicians to make progress in addressing many of the worlds most pressing land-use and recording by land problems. The Cadastre has ability to support human lifetime in a better way, but failures are still exist. Is the cadastre really being used well and changed our social, economic and cultural creations and future of our world so far? So, we have to think globally about the cadastre for a better land use for our common future… We think, now it is the time to make a worldwide road map for the Cadastre itself… For the first time ever, this congress will bring together cadastral people, land administrators, politicians, scientists, investors, geo-data providers and GIS/LIS/SDI users dealing with cadastre from all over the world to share their ideas. Thoughts that related to any aspects of the cadastre proper for land-use people are welcome to the WCS-CE. Presentations should focus on the national and international policies, standards, methodologies, tools; and any developments involved with cadastral developments and new ideas and technologies. The call is also open for contributions that cover land-related functions in any part, intersection of phases, and/or integration of phases of Surveying, Geomatics, Planning, Land Management, GIS, Geo-Spatial Information, Data Standards, Land Law and Policies, Cadastral Training and Developers etc.. The WCS-CE will cover all details in cadastral fields and aims to bring together cadastre specialists all over the World. We aim to discuss the latest issues and developments on the Cadastre in a scientific platform and to bring together researchers, experts in many countries.

Meeting with FIG President Prof Chryssy Potsiou in Athens. wcadastre.org 7 THE WORLD CADASTRE SUMMIT ISTANBUL DECLARATION ON CADASTRE IN THE WORLD CADASTRE SUMMIT 2015 “Let us Cadastre the World...” Within the World Cadastre Summit, “ISTANBUL WCS’2015 COUNTRIES ROUND TABLE MEETING” will be held with the mere participation of the almost 80 official delegations of the countries on April 23, 2015 between 14:00-17:00 p.m., 30 ministries and 50 General Directories respectively. In this meeting that will be chaired by Mr. İdris GULLUCE who is the Minister of Environment and Urbanization of Republic of Turkey, all country representatives will have the opportunity to describe the current situation in the field of cadastre and express their expectations. As a global call, “ISTANBUL DECLARATION ON CADASTRE” will be prepared based on congress presentations and opinions of the country representatives and will be made public as a memorandum of understanding… 8 wcadastre.org ISTANBUL’2015 Land Administration Systems – LAS dynamic are as follows; these systems are directly affected by rapid technological developments, they are the main source of land information, including land policy making, that all public institutions and private sector need, and government wants to provide more effective service by using these systems. “Cadastre” is one of the main components of LAS. In addition, as the main source of data concerning the land use, “topographical map producing” and “land valuation” activities fall within the field of cadastre. A well-functioning cadastre guarantees property, reduces land conflict, supports real estate taxation, ensures loan security, protects land sources, monitors environment and ameliorates urban planning and infrastructural development. Today, the most important duty of cadastre is to support sustainable development… WCS recognize the statement of “FIG- International Federation of Surveyors Statement on the Cadastre”. As stated by the FIG; This statement of the International Federation of Surveyors highlights, from an international perspective, the importance of the Cadastre as a land information system for social and economic development. It gives examples of legal, organisational, and technical issues that need to be addressed in order to establish and maintain a Cadastre. The statement also describes some of the different roles that surveyors play in the management and operation of a Cadastre. This statement does not recommend a uniform cadastre for every country or jurisdiction. A Cadastre is normally a parcel based, and up-to-date land information system containing a record of interests in land (e.g. rights, restrictions and responsibilities). It usually includes a geometric description of land parcels linked to other records describing the nature of the interests, the ownership or control of those interests, and often the value of the parcel and its improvements. It may be established for fiscal purposes (e.g. valuation and equitable taxation), legal purposes (conveyancing), to assist in the management of land and land use (e.g. for planning and other administrative purposes), and enable sustainable development and environmental protection. wcadastre.org 9 Keynote Speakers Professionals give information about cadastral life, world’s cadastre, and cadastral vision in the plenary sessions.

Many empires ranging from the Sumerians to the Hittites, the Lydians to the Byzantines and the Seljuks to the Ottomans have once thrived and expired within the borders of Turkey. One may encounter different climate zones in different areas of Turkey which is comprised of seven geographical regions and experience various climates in one day! Turkey is much the same as an open air museum thanks to its magnificent heritage comprised of historical and cultural monuments and sites built everywhere in Anatolia since the ancient times. With the establishment Çatalhöyük, the first proto-city settlement of the Neolithic Age, history began to leave its marks discernible today even in the tiniest structures. Located at the mid-point of the European, Asian and African continents, Turkey has a varied geography rich in mountains, plains, caves, seas and many other natural formations and beauties. All types of sports activities and more specifically outdoor sports can be done amidst a breathtaking nature providing both for adrenaline and entertainment. The hub of all religions that have been lost in time or still exist, Anatolia is particularly rich in monuments and heritages 34 wcadastre.org bearing traces of diverse religious cultures. According to Christianity, for instance, pilgrims travelling the route of the seven holy churches including Ephesus, Izmir, Bergama, Salihli, Alasehir, Denizli and Akhisar are considered to have fulfilled their duty of pilgrimage. One of the most precious and diverse treasures of Turkey is, of course, the Turkish cuisine. The variety offered by this magnificent heritage of flavors which evolved over the centuries with the blending of the culinary cultures of many communities and civilizations is limitless. Thousands of unique delicacies and specialties ranging from meat dishes to cold dishes with olive oil, from sorbets to spices are waiting to be served to guests from all over the world.

Istanbul Istanbul in Brief Turkey is a rapidly developing secular democracy with a population of nearly 70 million and is a candidate for membership of the European Union. It is the only country to straddle Europe and Asia, a fact that is reflected in its complex cultural make up. Asiatic Turkey, or Anatolia, constitutes the bulk of the country. It consists of a vast peninsula framed by four seas, the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, the Aegean and the Mediterranean, each of which has its own distinctive character.
