Abstract
There are many problems and dilemmas in the pre-implementation stage of the extra-urban cadaster. However, in the implementation stage, due to the vastness of the country's extra-urban lands, its implementation has been accompanied by problems such as human resources, high costs, a lot of time, etc., so the present study has attempted to provide a new path for the cadaster project's executive officials by presenting new methods and tools and their technical validation and legal pathology. In the meantime, the importance of the extra-urban land cadaster for resolving disputes is twofold, as it has been the subject of numerous cases in the judicial authorities due to its non-implementation or incorrect implementation. The aim of this study is to present new practical solutions for the implementation of the extra-urban land cadaster, considering the comparative data review of land coordinate systems and remote sensing in order to issue cadastral ownership documents and establish ownership of extra-urban lands. The present research method is a descriptive-analytical method that combines field studies from expert court cases and library studies to ultimately achieve an acceptable analysis from a legal and technical perspective. Finally, the review of studies conducted to use modern methods such as remote sensing in implementing the cadaster of non-urban lands confirmed the convergence of the results obtained with other traditional tools for preparing cadastral maps, and in terms of legal and technical value, there were no problems or errors in using these findings to implement the cadaster of non-urban lands.
