document: A review of methodologies used in research on cadastral development World-wide , much attention has been given to cadastral development . As a consequence of experiences made during recent decades , several authors have stated the need for research in the domain of cadastre and proposed methodologies to be used . The paper contributes to the acceptance of research methodologies needed for cadastral development , and thereby enhances theory in the cadastral domain . The paper reviews nine publications on cadastre and identifies the methodologies used . The review focuses on the institutional , social , political and economic aspects of cadastral development , rather than on the technical aspects . The main conclusion is that the methodologies used are largely those of the social sciences . That agrees with the notion that cadastre relates as much to people and institutions , as it relates to land , and that cadastral systems are shaped by social , political and economic conditions , as well as technology . Since the geodetic survey profession has been the keeper of the cadastre , geodetic surveyors will have to deal ever more with social science matters , a fact that universities will have to consider
