History of Cadastre 
Some of the earliest cadasters were ordered by Roman Emperors to recover state 
owned lands that had been appropriated by private individuals, and thereby recover income 
from such holdings. One such cadaster was done in 77 AD in Campania, a surviving stone 
marker of the survey reads "The Emperor Vespasian, in the eighth year of his tribunician 
power, so as to restore the state lands which the Emperor Augustus had given to the soldiers 
of Legion II Gallica, but which for some years had been occupied by private individuals, 
ordered a survey map to be set up with a record on each 'century' of the annual rental". In this 
way Vespasian was able to reimpose taxation formerly uncollected on these lands.
With the fall of Rome the use of cadastral maps effectively discontinued. Medieval 
practice used written descriptions of the extent of land rather than using more precise surveys. 
Only in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries did the use of cadastral maps resume, 
beginning in the Netherlands. With the emergence of capitalism in Renaissance Europe the

need for cadastral maps reemerged as a tool to determine and express control of land as a 
means of production. This took place first privately in land disputes and latter spread to 
governmental practice as a means of more precise tax assessment.

 Land registration 
Why land registration is important?
Land registration is important because:

As populations gradually grew in most societies, land became an increasingly 
scarce resource and there are various types of rights to use the land developed. Hence 
registration is important to clarify ownership and minimize disputes.

Land registration is also important for governments for collecting property 
taxes. Without knowing who owns the land and what that land is being used for, governments 
cannot levy property taxes.
An efficient land registration system (juridical cadastre) consists of two parts:

The first part is a written record or register with information on each parcel, 
such as owner and the rights of the land, while the second part includes a detailed description 
of the parcel in the form of a map or survey measurements.

The second part is normally cross-referenced with the first. When the records 
and descriptions are combined, then the land registration system provides considerable 
benefits.
