Cadastral systems provide important information for the public and private sectors. To understand the functions and impacts of a cadastral system one needs to understand its development. The Norwegian cadastral system has its origins in the 1600s and is defined as a German-style cadastral system. In the early 1800s, an economic survey was initiated in the kingdom of Denmark-Norway to modernise the tax cadastres. After the defeat in the Napoleonic wars, Norway entered into a union with Sweden in 1814 and the survey was stopped. Consequently, cadastral mapping would not be introduced in Norway until 1960, and at that time photogrammetric methods with poor quality control were used. Land subdivisions were undertaken by laymen until 1980. The paper describes cadastral development in Norway, challenges that have arisen and how they can be addressed. Measures to improve the system are proposed.

地籍系统为公共和私营部门提供重要信息。要了解地籍系统的功能和影响，就需要了解其发展。挪威地籍系统起源于1600年代，被定义为德国式地籍系统。1800年代初，丹麦王国-挪威发起了一项经济调查，以使税务地籍现代化。在拿破仑战争中失败后，挪威于1814年与瑞典结盟，调查被停止。因此，直到1960年挪威才开始引入地籍制图，那时使用了质量控制较差的摄影测量方法。外行人一直在进行土地细分，直到1980年。该论文描述了挪威的地籍发展，已经出现的挑战以及如何应对这些挑战。
