Despre date / О данных / About the data

RO. Terenuri (parcele cadastrale). Conține 5 206 686 poligoane extrase din spațiul de lucru cadastru_data al serverului geodata.gov.md prin WFS 2.0.0 la data de 2026-08-16. Coordonatele sunt păstrate în sistemul sursă MOLDREF99 / Moldova TM (EPSG:4026).

RU. Земельные участки (кадастровые парцеллы). Содержит 5 206 686 полигонов, извлечённых из рабочего пространства cadastru_data сервера geodata.gov.md через WFS 2.0.0 от 2026-08-16. Координаты сохранены в исходной системе MOLDREF99 / Moldova TM (EPSG:4026).

EN. Land parcels (cadastral parcels). Holds 5 206 686 polygons extracted from the cadastru_data workspace of geodata.gov.md over WFS 2.0.0 on 2026-08-16. Coordinates are kept in the source system, MOLDREF99 / Moldova TM (EPSG:4026).

Overview

Extracted from cadastru_data:terenuri on the geodata.gov.md GeoServer on 2026-08-16 and reconciled exactly against the server's own count.

That reconciliation was not free, and the method is worth knowing because it shapes what you can trust. The layer cannot be paged off this server: deep startIndex values are not rejected, they simply slow down until a request exceeds the gateway timeout. It was fetched instead as 199 bounding-box tiles over the 35 second-level administrative units, plus grid cells covering the gaps between those boxes, plus four strips catching 131 parcels lying outside every raion extent. The tiles overlap, so 11,036,391 raw rows deduplicate on id to 5,206,686 — the server's number, to the row.

Coordinates are MOLDREF99 / Moldova TM (EPSG:4026): projected, metric, unreprojected. ST_Area returns square metres with no conversion. A predicate written against a WGS84 envelope returns no matches without an error.

Schema

Land use, measured

Note that Nu este indicat ("not indicated") and NEDETERMINAT ("undetermined") are distinct values meaning much the same thing, and together cover 1,080,574 parcels. Roughly one parcel in five has no usable land-use classification. The source does not explain the difference and neither does this catalog.

Data quality

• aria is text, not a number. 0.14 ha will not compare or sum. Use ST_Area(geometry) for metres, which agrees with aria on inspection: 0.14 ha against a computed 1,377 m², 0.84 ha against 8,403 m².
• Parcel areas span an implausible range. The median is 1,827 m², the minimum is 0 m², and the maximum is 27,446,669 m², which is 27.4 km² in a single parcel. Zero-area and extreme parcels are in the source and are carried through unaltered. Filter on ST_Area(geometry) before any statistic that a degenerate polygon would distort.
• codcadastral is not unique. 7,659 rows share a code with another row. Join on id instead.
• The extraction is a point-in-time copy. The upstream cadastre changes daily, and the catalog records its sync date rather than tracking it.

Related collections

cadastru_data_uat2 holds the 35 raions and municipalities. Both sides are EPSG:4026, so a spatial join needs no transform:

Centroid containment rather than ST_Intersects assigns each parcel to exactly one raion, so the counts sum to the total instead of double-counting parcels on a boundary.

cadastru_data_cladiri holds 1,838,203 buildings and cadastru_data_adresa_point 855,851 addresses. Neither carries a documented foreign key to a parcel, so join them spatially and treat the result as an inference rather than a fact the source asserts.

The catalog's AGENTS.md covers what applies across every collection here.
