Standardization of the legal cadastral domain
Standards for describing,..cadastral information, analysing it from a legal perspective. Some of research topics are:
• main problems concerning standardisation of the legal cadastral domain 
• causes / main factors for the implementation of a standardized of the legal cadastral domain
The PhD project will contribute towards answering questions like:
• Is it possible to produce a general classification of the main rights and restrictions regulating real property ownership?
• In what way can a standardized / or harmonized legal approach contribute to the development of the European cadastres?

Logical Models of Legislative Influence on the Structure
of Cadastral Systems

Conceptual model of land recording in Ukraine is needed from theoretical and practical viewpoints.
Purpose of PhD research is to define the logical models of influence of certain parts of legislation (real estate laws, cadastral laws, intellectual property laws) on the structure of cadastral systems in Ukraine and in Western countries, and to give recommendations on improvement of existing Ukrainian legislation as well as national cadastral system.
Methodology:  Literature studies, legal studies, system analysis with UML

A Methodology for the Development of an Integrated Legal Cadastre: Proposal for the National System of Property Cadastre
Motivation:  Cadastral education is practically absent of Portuguese Higher Education, except for a few courses. The ESTGA approved a new course plan in the year 2001. Moreover, the Portuguese Geographic Institute, IGP, in charge of Geometric Cadastre, intends to revise present Cadastral Legislation.
Methodology:  Investigation through interviews of present data and procedures, future requirements and expected functionality of a National System for the Property Cadastre, resulting in normalized, diagrammatic description of the current system structure. Pilot project development (prototype database) and implementation.
Expected outcome: A recognized (from the user community and key senior staff) methodology to develop and further adapt, a more effective Cadastral System for the Portuguese case.

Land Organizational Infrastructures – problems, success criteria’s and barriers
The PhD thesis will investigate three questions: 1) What problems exist in land administration systems that can be related to organizational infrastructures? 2) What success criteria’s exist in the matter of well functioning land organizational infrastructures? 3) What barriers exist in fulfilling these success criteria’s?
Methodology: Establish a theoretical model concerning the problems, success criteria’s and barriers when focusing on the function of land organizational infrastructures in land administration systems. Case studies on Australia, and on Denmark.

Three-dimensional property formation:
International experiences regarding 3D properties, with the purpose of identifying experienced problems and what kind of amendments to the legislation that have been made due to these.
The property rights system in Australia, Germany, and Sweden are compared
The research outcome includes a categorization of 3D property rights, and a taxonomy of main issues to be considered, when defining property rights.

Decision support in land consolidation
Ordinarily, decision support is realised using decision support system. There are several types of decision support systems, for example: OLAP systems (On-line Analytical Processing) and SDSS (Spatial Decision Support Systems). These are used in different way in decision making activities. OLAP display data in temporal aspect; contrarily SDSS display data in spatial aspect.  I suppose that integrating these aspects get new methods to support decision making activities. Land consolidation is a complex procedure, which requires spatial and non-spatial data. Therefore both aspects can play a part to improve decision activities. Within my project, I examine the possibilities of this integration.
Activities: UML modelling of processes, implementation of mathematical model of subdivision into software.

Maintenance of GIS -  Cadastral layer  at the Czech Office of  ..Cadastre  through new procdures
Context: The digitizing of cadastral maps nationwide.
Issues addressed: Data communication between office, surveyors  and data users, Digital signature, Security, Data formats - open (XML or nation format) versus commercial, Changes in law,  Economic aspects: Free data versus fee for data use. E-government.
Investigations: Comparing cadastral systems, esp. Danish at KMS and systems in the USA, with reference to FIG's Cadastre 2014.
Objective: Effectivity and efficiency of the new system.

Web-based GIS and mapping
The  development of the technology is described,  focussing on potentials of use, pitfalls and  technical requirements.  Different case studies are used to evaluate the types of solutions, including systems used in cadastral offices.  Finally,  a sample curriculum  is developed to enhance the current status of webmapping through education.
