LEARNING MODULE 03

TVET-PROGRAMME TITLE: Cadastral Surveying and Mapping Level IV

MODULE TITLE: Performing Adjudication for Legal Cadaster

MODULE CODE: EIS CSM4 M03 0322

NOMINAL DURATION: 96 Hours

MODULE DESCRIPTION: This modules covers the knowledge, skill and attitude required for realizing legal
cadaster through performing ascertainment of ownership right and fixing the legal extent of ownership
by combining two modalities of ensuring legal cadaster: through negotiation and legal agreement
reached among involved parties (adjoining owners, witness, local representatives, adjudicators) and
fixing the boundary mark accurately through surveying maintaining the tolerance of legal cadaster

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:

LO1. Apply Preliminary procedures for performing adjudication

 Awareness is created for the community regarding the importance of adjudication and the
necessity of providing authentic information for adjudication process and boundary
delineating together with local officials.

 Most communities are convinced and welcomed the adjudication process.

 The legal format is arranged as evidence of legal agreement reached among adjoining
owners.

 Marking peg is manufactured and arranged based on standard.

 The area of jurisdiction is delineated from orthophoto, cadastral base map or topography
map for easy identification of features.

 The adjudication index map is prepared and printed as per the standard.

LO2. Apply Adjudication/ascertainment of right to land process in case of Unclear boundary.

 Adjudication area is surveyed using orthophoto or ground surveying referencing from

the geodetic benchmark.

 Important manmade and natural features surveyed

 Adjoining owners are negotiated for the clear demarcation of their boundary.

 Local officials, elected committee and other dwellers of the community are called as a
witness for observing and signing on each demarcated parcel boundary amongst
adjoining owners.

Development Plan.

 Adjoining owners and neighborhoods’ are negotiated and signed for the clear demarcation
of their irregular boundary on the legal format prepared for the process.
