Eficacia administrativa y responsabilidad funcional de los servidores públicos en la implementación del catastro multipropósito en Colombia (2016–2023)

Abstract

This article analyzes the administrative effectiveness and functional responsibility in the implementation of the Multipurpose Cadastre within the framework of the Comprehensive Rural Reform (RRI) in Colombia (2016–2023). The study addresses the challenges faced by public servants in executing land policy, focusing on the tension between institutional capacity, territorial public finance, and the consolidation of the peasantry as subjects of rights. Through a qualitative methodology based on a documentary and normative analysis of administrative law, the research examines the legal implications of cadastral management and its impact on the legal security of rural property. The results highlight critical gaps in institutional coordination and the risk of disciplinary liability for public officials due to deficiencies in the planning and execution of this policy. The conclusions emphasize that the success of the Multipurpose Cadastre depends not only on technical modernization but on strengthening the administrative function to ensure that public management effectively translates into the fulfillment of constitutional mandates for rural development. Finally, the article proposes adjustments to the administrative framework to improve the efficacy of territorial entities in their role as managers of the national cadastre.
