Land is the vital base of a nation. Land is not only a natural economic resource, but also a special cultural and social basis for establishing our identity. Land is also the creative space of a nation. Among the many challenges facing to the Georgian state today is resolving the land issue. The issue of land is most fundamentally linked to the fate of the country, as territorial identity is the ground of national consciousness, and its maintenance is impossible without regulating land ownership and land use. The primary attribute of the creation of a state is the possession of a certain territory, and the determining factor in the strength of the state is a detailed study of the wealth of this territory, its successful management and the development of a strategy for the development of the country. It all depends a lot on who lives in the area and how it is managed. Therefore, the issue of land management and accounting is vital not only for our country, but for all countries of the world and for humanity in general. The historical aspiration of the Georgian state to become a full member of the European family, which includes the integration and compatibility of various fields or spheres with European standards. There is also the area of land administration. The ongoing democratic transformations in Georgia and the need to fully manage land reform, as one of its organic and important components, have raised the issue of improving the land market formation-development mechanism. World experience shows that the formation of the land market should be preceded by the creation of a unified state information system, a comprehensive land code, a land registration system, a land cadastre, which legally secures the land market. The development of the land (real estate) market should be preceded by land registration and cadastre, which are interrelated systems and complement each other. The Cadastre and all other registers containing officially registered data on land and land ownership constitute the land administration infrastructure. Cadastre is a French word meaning a description of something, a set of data about something. Cadastre This is a set of data compiled by an official body or agency (eg land, water, forestry, city, etc. cadastre). The land cadastre is used in a dual sense - narrow and territorial in the narrow sense, cadastral data are accurate graphical and textual information about the configuration and location of the border of the land, buildings on it, including a linear construction, as well as easements or other legal restrictions. And in a broad sense, a land cadastre is a set of data that includes information about the natural, economic, legal, environmental, economic state of the land and answers the questions "Who? Where? How much? How?" The land registry is to some extent maintained by the LEPP - the National Public Registry Agency. The land registry prepared by the agency answers the questions: Where? whose? How much? This information is also incomplete at the moment, because, despite the reforms carried out, the number of unregistered land plots is still high. It also doesn't answer the question, what kind? In Georgia, there is no complete production of the land cadastre, a single database has not been created, which should contain information on the natural, economic, legal, ecological and economic state of lands and fully answer the questions “Who?” Where? How much? as?" The land cadastre in Georgia was last conducted in 1985 at a time when there was only state ownership of land in the country. Georgia does not currently have a complete land cadastre production, therefore, a land cadastre production methodology should be developed, which, in the presence of various forms of land ownership, will allow us to obtain comprehensive information on land plots. The land cadastre system is the basis for the functioning of the economy of any country. Having a sound land registration system is one of the most important factors in promoting an effective land administration policy for all countries and ensuring the protection of private and public interests related to land ownership and investment. Effective systems of land administration and comprehensive land registration are the basis for the productive functioning of the market economy, the development of the agricultural sector and the sustainable and efficient management of land resources, which will significantly contribute to the sustainable growth and development of the economy.
