Catastro Models in Honduras

Abstract

The cadastre in our country is an issue left by the national academy since the end of the National Cadastre of Multiple-uses or Multi-Purpose, to the point that only the documents are known as manuals and fiscal procedures (Real Estate Tax) and legal (possession of the earth) with which all the other little or nothing known cadastres are wasted. The objective of this study is to expose all the cadastres that are executed in the Republic of Honduras. For this, the methodology of documentation, interviews and collection of information in governmental and municipal entities was applied as methodology. The results of the study generated for the first time an index of cadastres applied in Honduras. At the same time, it shows how most of the information generated by these cadastres is wasted because it is dispersed due to they are not unified or interconnected through a Land Administration System based on a Spatial Data Infraestructure (SDI) of national scope, able to show and use the cadastral data thematic in a single place. This article is expected to be a basis for broader academic studies of the cadastre in our region.
