ntal step towards a cadastral system development. We conducted an analytical study in some rural municipalities (Mashqieta) and at the cadastral directorate. It included the master plan, building control regulation, subdivision projects. The strengths of the current cadastral regulation have been identified: its reliability, the existence of master plans, and building control regulation in all the municipalities. Weaknesses were also identified in terms of: master plan that did not take into account the boundaries of the properties, the land topography, the criteria weakness of selection the organizational segments, the building control regulation, and weakness of the cadastral and regulatory legislation.
