Costa Rica - Land Administration Course Property. . . A Concept, an Institution and a Right
July 30th, 2002
This one week course was designed and presented to: 1) provide a broad overview of land information management and land administration so that participants could better understand how what they did in their jobs fit within a larger municipal perspective; 2) provide extensive time for class interaction and discussion through practical exercises (i.e., learning from each other); and 3) to highlight special issues of interest to Costa Rica and give some international examples of experiences.
Participants come from a variety of backgrounds and departments from the policy level (e.g., the mayor of Aserri) to the technical level (geodesy and GPS). Special issues for the participants included: understanding the technologies for managing information, aboriginal issues, and municipal land regulation. This was the first time many of the participants had met with each other concerning the development of land information systems and land administration.
