Congress Prize<br />
Congratulations to George Oner Ogalo, Kenya<br />
for winning the <strong>FIG</strong> Congress Prize for his paper<br />
GPS in Cadastres: A Case Study of Kenya<br />
A cadastre is a parcel based up-to-date register of interest in land. It<br />
usually includes a geometric description of land parcels linked to other<br />
records describing the nature of interests and ownership of control.<br />
Kenya practices a legal cadastre, which is a state register containing<br />
information about land parcels. This is supported by a detailed<br />
description of the parcel either in the form of Registry Index Maps (RIM)<br />
under RLA or Deed Plans under RTA. The index maps or deed plans<br />
are the end products of cadastral surveys. This paper is being presented<br />
Wednesday, April 24, 4:00 pm, in the Surveying & Geodesy:<br />
GPS Land Survey session in the Harding Room. See page 29.<br />
Exhibit Hall Opens at 12:30 pm<br />
