5. The Organization for Mapping and Cadastre of Greece (0.M.C.G.) 
The Organization for Mapping and Cadastre of Greece was founded by the Law 
1647/86 after a long period of efforts for the legislation of Cadastre in 
our country (Rokos 1981). 
The main aims of the above Organization are: 
" The establishing keeping and update of a uniform and unique attesting Ca- 
dastre of Greece, geodetic coverage and mapping of the country, Natural Re- 
sources Inventories and Mapping and the creation of a Data Bank for Land 
and Environment ". 
The responsibilities of O.M.C.G. reflect with reliability, in institutio- 
nal level its field of activities and its contribution to the objectively 
integrated nature of the process of development, as the best possible use 
and exploitation of the natural and human resources and potentialities of 
a country, each time within the frame of its natural and socioeconomic re- 
ality and dynamics and the relevant choices of its ruling class. 
  
The first proposals for the necessary basic presuppositions and demands of 
the developmental process are published in our country at 13.4.1967 (Rokos 
1981) using, as a background the critical study of the - up to then- con- 
tributions of Caroussos, Lambadarios, Xenos, Sokos, Barbaressos and Gazis 
and as a tool the scientific methodology of integrated approach and analy- 
sis of the specific conditions and needs of our country. Those proposals 
formed a basis for discussion, criticism, but also for further systematic 
work of both the author and of many colleagues in the Universities in the 
Technical Chamber of Greece and in the Greek Association of Dipl.Rural 
and Surveying Engineers.
