	The Surveyed Land: 200 Years of the Cadastre in Slovenian Lands
		Brdo pri Kranju, Slovenia (23-24 May, 2017)
		The Association of Surveyors of Slovenia organized the two-days event 
		entitled “The Surveyed Land: 200 Years of The Cadastre in Slovenian 
		Lands” to celebrate the 200-anniversary of the land cadastre. Slovenia 
		shared the land cadastre origins with the countries that used to be a 
		part of the former Habsburg Monarchy in the beginning of the 19th 
		century. Namely, in December 1817 the former monarchy issued the Land 
		Tax Act that provided the basis for the systematic cadastral surveying.   
		
		At the Tuesday’s ceremonial academy with a concert by the Big Band of 
		the Slovenian Armed Forces Band, Gerda Schennach held the speech on 
		behalf of the FIG. The president of the Council of European Geodetic 
		Surveyors (CLGE), Maurice Barbieri, also participated in the event and 
		congratulated for this great tradition. Beside representatives of the 
		Slovenian academic, public and private institutions, many guests from 
		Austria, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia joined the event.
