Yiğit, Abdurahman Yasin | Ulvi, Ali | Yakar, Murat
The human population is constantly increasing throughout the world, and accordingly, construction is increasing in the same way. Therefore, there is an emergence of irregular and unplanned urbanization. In order to achieve the goal of preventing irregular and unplanned urbanization, it is necessary to monitor the cadastral borders quickly. In this sense, the concept of a sensitive, up-to-date, object-based, 3D, and 4D (4D, 3D + time) cadastral have to be a priority. Therefore, continuously updating cadastral maps is important in terms of sustainability and intelligent urbanization. In addition, due to the increase in urbanization, it has become necessary to update the cadastral information system and produce 3D cadastral maps.
