ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the concepts of both land administration system (LAS) and sustainable development goals (SDGs) as well as some previous works that have linked these two concepts together. It examines recommends the requirements of a LAS that can support SDGs and reviews the LAS modernization journey in the State of Victoria, Australia to support SDGs. Land administration theory requires the implementation of the land management paradigm to drive systems dealing with land rights, restrictions and responsibilities towards supporting sustainable development. Land title information was migrated from paper to the Victorian Online Title System (VOTS) in 2000. VOTS contains a record of all Victorian titles registered under the Torrens System. Direct relationship means that a specific goal cannot be achieved at all without a LAS. Cadastres are regarded as the foundation for sustainable social, economic and environmental development of societies.
