In this master's thesis, we examine the legal regulations governing new cadastral land surveys in Slovenia under the former Real Estate Recording Act (2006) and the current Real Estate Cadastre Act (2021). The aim of the thesis is to critically evaluate the current legal and organizational framework for new land surveys. In the initial part of the thesis, we present literature on the land cadastre in Slovenia, Croatia, and Austria. This is followed by a review of the legal framework for new surveys under both the former and current legislation in Slovenia. We also examined the legislation concerning cadastral surveys in Croatia, where new surveys have been successfully implemented for several years, while facing similar challenges to those encountered in Slovenia. We thoroughly studied the innovations introduced by the new law in the field of land surveys. Additionally, we conducted interviews with experts in geodesy who have been involved in new land surveys for many years. Based on the results of the comparison between the legislative frameworks of the previous and current procedures for new surveys, as well as the analysis of expert responses to the survey questionnaire, we analysed and discussed the opportunities and challenges of new land surveys under the current legislation. We found that the new law is an important step toward a modern land administration system; however, its implementation in the field of new land surveys has not yet been realized in practice. The research confirmed the need for further legislative amendments, and in particular organizational improvements, and better awareness and involvement of all stakeholders in the process.
