Özet

The task of keeping the cadastre up to date, which is as crucial as its establishment, is carried out by cadastral surveyors. The Lisbon Treaty has been a crucial development that has had profound effects on various professions in the countries that are members of the European Union. This shift is bolstered by measures and legislations that encourage open markets, simplify information sharing, and promote the compatibility of data, exemplified by initiatives like INSPIRE, the Bologna Process, and Small Act Business. This article undertakes an examination of the implications of European Union legislation on the field of cadastral surveying, encompassing a comprehensive analysis of various facets, including the levels of education required, the procedures for licensing and authorization, the duration of validity, affiliations, operational modalities, activities, quality control mechanisms, responsibilities, professional insurance, and the continuous professional development requirements for licensed cadastral surveyors engaged in post-cadastre services across Europe and Türkiye. The article includes a comparative analysis of cadastral surveying practices in European countries and Türkiye, and provides recommendations for completing legislative efforts aimed at achieving greater uniformity in European practices and addressing identified deficiencies within Turkish practices.
