In many countries Surveyors are expected to identify land tools and good
governance
practices that will facilitate:
- secure access to land and property rights,
- secure mortgage rights,
- sustainable housing, housing rights and land market,
- redevelopment and urban regeneration.
- energy efficiency and green housing,
within an unpredictable economic and social environment.
This is characterized by a:
- significant decrease in access to financing,
- migration, immigration and unemployment,
- inner city decay.
- rural urban migration, shrinking of towns and villages,
- corruption and confusion in land and housing regulatory framework,
- increasing housing demand and informal settlements.
The Task Force will investigate challenges and major threats resulting from
the current global
financial crisis, and identify new role for the surveyor. It will develop
awareness, vision and
key strategies as well as to investigate tools and techniques around:
- institutional development,
- improvement of coordination of various stakeholders,
- adoption of effective policies,
- land tool development,
- technical tools to support the above
