Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the courses: "Fundamentals of Geoinformation Systems and Technologies" and "Geodesy."
2. Knowledge of the theoretical and practical foundations of geodesy, land management and cadastre, and geoinformation systems and technologies.
3. Proficiency in working within the ArcGIS software environment.
Course content
The discipline focuses on the potential for establishing a cadastral database of land plots based on a geoinformation system (GIS) structure—integrating both metric and attribute components into a single geospatial database. In this approach, the spatial dimensions of objects are represented via a vector model (polygons, lines, and points), while the legal aspects are captured through attributes. The course examines the theoretical foundations for developing a real estate cadastre database, covering various types of cadastres (legal and fiscal) and a range of cadastral objects, such as land plots, urban blocks, utility network zones, control points, and soil types.
The basic principles of land cadastre administration in Ukraine, as well as the architecture and functions of the National Cadastral System, are examined. Subsequently, issues related to the creation and operation of a multipurpose cadastre are discussed.

Assessment methods and criteria
Final assessment in the form of a pass/fail exam (oral or written): the maximum score for the exam is 40 points; the minimum score required to be added to the semester total is 24 points (60% of the maximum points allocated for the exam). Students whose cumulative score is below the critical threshold of 20 points are not permitted to take the exam. The recommended minimum score for admission to the exam is 36 points.
