Prague - The clerks at the cadastral offices are seeing a decline in their workload. In 2008, they provided 1.53 million pieces of information, which is a 14 percent decrease year-on-year. However, the total number of pieces of information provided has increased by almost a tenth to 3.76 million due to the growing popularity of electronic access. This was reported today by ČTK from the annual report of the Czech Office of Surveying and Cadastre (ČÚZK) for the year 2008.
    During the last year, electronic means satisfied 60 percent of applicants for information from the cadastre. According to the office, the development was significantly influenced by the development of services at public administration contact points, CzechPOINT. These offices provided interested parties with 230,000 extracts from the cadastre last year.
    "Another significant influence is the increasing orientation of professional users towards obtaining information via remote access through internet services, which are being utilized not only by banks and real estate agencies but also by municipal and regional offices," stated ČÚZK in the report.
    The popularity of using the cadastre electronically is also boosted by the ongoing digitization of cadastral maps. At the end of 2008, digital maps were available for 4,976 cadastral areas, which accounts for 38 percent of the total number of 13,027 areas in the Czech Republic. The rest of the country is still covered only by scanned cadastral maps, which do not allow for the current status of the cadastre to be displayed online compared to digital maps. By the end of 2015, based on a government decision from 2007, the Czech Republic is expected to have digital cadastral maps covering 64 percent of the territory.
    Despite this, according to the annual report, digitization can only proceed at an annual rate of about two to three percent of the total number of cadastral areas due to the limited capacity of the offices. According to the office, attention is primarily focused on cadastral maps in urban areas and larger municipalities, where higher quality data is mostly available, more transactions occur in the real estate market, and development projects are realized.
