Cadastro Técnico Multifinalitário Rural e Urbano (Rural and Urban Multipurpose Technical Cadastres) presents the history and current situation of the Brazilian cadastre in accessible language, relating it to modern international visions of land information systems. It presents technical and methodological alternatives for cadastral update as well as the appropriate cadastral mapping geotechnologies. Chapters on urban and rural cadastre address these topics from a broader perspective, applicable beyond the Brazilian reality.

This volume, Sistemas de información geográfica aplicados a estudios urbanos: Experiencias latinoamericanas (Geographic Information Systems Applied to Urban Studies: Latin American Experiences), presents case studies, in Spanish and Portuguese, of GIS projects that resulted in the (re)definition of urban land policy. The nineteen chapters correspond to work developed in nine Latin American countries and were selected based on their geographic distribution, replicability, and relevance. The topics were grouped in three areas: informal settlements, urban cadastre, and urban studies.
