SANTO DOMINGO- The Real Estate Registry (RI) became this week the first institution in the country to receive three certifications, for having stations with the conditions and specifications required to function in optimal conditions.
The three certified agencies of the organization are: CORS La Vega (LVEG); CORS Santiago Rodríguez (SROD) and CORS Barahona (BARA).
The accreditation was granted by the National Geographic Institute “José Joaquín Hungría Morel” (IGN-JJHM), the Dominican State body responsible for establishing general policies aimed at strengthening, protecting and developing the areas of geography, cartography and geodesy.
The IGN-JJHM, through its geodesy department, has planned a certification project for public and private entities that are part of an inter-institutional agreement signed last October with the main entities dedicated to the management and use of the Geodetic Network of the Dominican Republic, according to a statement from the RI.
The objective of this agreement, the state agency says, is to achieve the strategic guidelines to develop and consolidate the system for the country, so that there is georeferenced and standardized precision of the points, names and geographical aspects of the national territory, according to the proposals of the National Director of the IGN-JJHM, Lic. Bolívar Troncoso Morales.
The RI explains that as part of the validation process carried out by the geodesy department of the IGN-JJHM to grant the certification, visits were made to the facilities where the CORS are located to verify that they are operating correctly.
During the certification ceremony, held at the RI facilities, the National Director of Cadastral Surveys, surveyor Ridomil Rojas, stated that the certification process of the three Permanent Continuous Operation Stations (CORS) available to the RI clearly demonstrates the institution's commitment to strengthening the Dominican Real Estate System by providing tools with the level of trust and reliability that technical processes require, the press release adds.
The national director took the opportunity to congratulate the National Geographic Institute “José Joaquín Hungría Morel” (IGN-JJHM) on its work to strengthen and unify a National Geodetic System for the Dominican Republic, and also reminded them that they have the institution's support to continue strengthening the network.
