Hi,
QGIS is a GIS platform just like ArcGIS is.
In order to manage cadastral data you need a data model, a spatial
database with relations, functions and triggers - and forms that can
handle 1:1, 1:n and n:m relations. QGIS in conjunction with Postgis,
offers all of that. On top of that you probably need some application
logic that can handle survey data, calculations and net adjustments.
ArcGIS can't handle cadastral data without a proper data model and
application logic. So you would have to buy ArcGIS, and on top of that
you have to buy an application that can handle cadastral and survey
data. It doesn't come out of the box without the need for customization
and improvements.
QGIS doesn't offer such a complete solution, but it would be possible to
build one. There are similar projects for handling water and waste-water
utility documentation (see projects qWat and QGEP). It is a lot of work
and takes time. These projects are typically under constant development.
If you are ready to invest time or finances and ideally team up with
other organizations, then yes, QGIS could be used to handle cadastral
data. In fact, a swiss company is starting to work on a solution for
managing cadastral data in colombia, on top of QGIS and Postgis - but it
is at the very beginning. If you want to join that effort, I can put you
in touch.
