Nave, Jerry Wayne. "Leadership Styles of Entrepreneurs in Small Land Surveying Businesses." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2005. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/1079.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research study was to analyze the leadership styles of owners of small land surveying businesses in the states of Tennessee and Virginia to determine what leadership style was currently being employed by the majority of those owners. The participants in this study were chosen from members of the Virginia Association of Surveyors and the Tennessee Association of Professional Surveyors. The respondents to the questionnaire were licensed land surveyors who owned small firms of fewer than 101 employees. In addition, a corollary purpose was to flesh out the skeletal literature available on small business leadership styles and their effect on small business success.
The owners of the small surveying businesses were asked to reply to a series of questions on demographic data and Likert-type scale questions designed to examine the respondents' leadership styles as Participatory, Situational, or Autocratic in a both external and internal environments. The results of the questionnaire produced nominal data, which were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software to compute the frequency and significance. Additionally, a nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis K Independent Samples procedure and one-way Chi -Square tests were used to analyze the statistical relationships and differences in the respondents' answers.
The results of this study suggested that the majority of the respondents used a participatory style of leadership when confronted with internal environment decisions and an autocratic leadership style in the external environment. The overall conclusion drawn from this study was that the owners of small land surveying firms who responded to the questionnaire were predominantly situational because they adjusted their leadership styles to meet the needs and demands of their changing situations.

Ballantyne, Brian Andrew, and n/a. "�This must be the place� : plumbing a land ethic for the built environment." University of Otago. Department of Surveying, 1995. http://adt.otago.ac.nz./public/adt-NZDU20070531.140040.
Full textAbstract:
A land ethic within the built enviroment was examined from the perspective of the surveying community in New Zealand. The research followed a structure of context, interpretation and application; used legal analysis; and, sampled the ideologies of iwi liason officers, consultant surveyors, and local authorities.
Context involved asking why a land ethic was being debated, by focusing on the current level of environmental thought, and on the actions of the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) and the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors (NZIS). Some findings are: that terms such as sustainable management and nature are ambiguous cultural constructs; and, that the adoptation of an environmental policy by the NZIS continues to be a tortuous process.
Interpretation involved asking what constituted a New Zealand ethic, by putting such an ethic into perspective in relation to ecophilosophy, and by searching for a contemporary sense of kaitiakitanga. Some findings are: that restraint and humility are requirements in any moral theory of nature; that kaitiakitanga is not dependent on title to land; and, that iwi liason officers are divided as to how kaitiakitanga applied to the built environment.
Application involved suggesting how a land ethic could be invoked in the built environment, through the provision of green space in the form of local purpose reserves. Some findings are: that surveyors regard reserves as being significantly less vital to a community�s well-being than engineered services; and, that local authorities are not generally aware that reserve policies might have to be linked to municipal open space strategies.
The broad conclusions are: that regardless of the environment that now exists, surveyors will be required to make moral choices about the environment that is sought; that a land ethic will not necessarily provide rational prescriptions directing action towards land; and, that there is inherent tension between land tenure, land use and a land ethic. Suggested avenues for further research include a comparative analysis of other landed professions; the empowerment of women within any land ethic; and, the use of content analysis as an alternative methodology.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis was aimed at the development of a Geographical Information System (GIS) based model to support the Rwanda Land Use and Development Master Plan. Developing sustainable land management is the main task of this master plan. Stakeholder’s involvement was of key importance. Their demands should be analysed and visualised to support discussions and the decision-making process. Spatial Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a proven method for land-use planning purposes. However, most land-use planning applications focus on a specific theme, such as urban development. In addition, land-use planning is often limited to a relatively small area. This thesis focused at the development of a countrywide GIS model, containing all land-uses accommodated in three main land-use categories: urban, agriculture and conservation. The GIS model was largely based on the Land-Use Conflict Identification Strategy (LUCIS) model. Many of the goals, objectives, and subobjectives that described the earlier mentioned land-use categories were adopted from the original model. However, a significant number of them were dropped, and new were created to suit the Rwandan situation. Stakeholder’s involvement was realized by assigning weights to the goals and preference maps. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used as weighting method. ESRI’s ArcGIS ModelBuilder was used to give the model shape in the GIS. Firstly, suitability maps were created of all elements in the model. The suitability maps were then transformed into preference maps by weighting them. In the next step the preference maps were collapsed in three classes: low, medium and high preference. Finally, the preference maps of the three land-use categories were combined, in order to visualize conflict areas. Ortho photos proved to be useful when acting as reference for the suitability and preference maps. Despite a large number of missing datasets, the GIS model was executed to simplify the understanding. However, many of the obtained results were unreliable because of the incompleteness of datasets, and can therefore not be used for decision-making. Unfortunately, due to the stage of the project it was not possible to obtain weights from the stakeholders, and should therefore be done when the time is right. Right Choice DSS, a very user-friendly decision support application, was proposed to use for calculating weights. To conclude, the developed GIS model integrated countrywide land-use suitability mapping and stakeholders’ wishes that can be used for discussions and decision making.

Full textAbstract:
Cadastral reinstatement methods within Queensland involve the use of modern digital surveying techniques in combination with traditional non-digital methods of recording and reporting information. This leads to the need to manually enter and re-enter data into a digital format at different stages of a survey. The requirement to lodge survey information with government organisations in a non-digital survey plan format also forces a break in digital data flow throughout the cadastral surveying system, which can only be updated by changes in the lodgement regulations.
The private cadastral organisations are predominantly responsible for carrying out the cadastral surveys and the government agencies are primarily responsible for the examination, verification and administration of the cadastral data. These organisations will have no communication link for digital cadastral data until the introduction of digital data lodgement. The digital system within the private cadastral surveying organisations can therefore be considered to be an independent system with consideration needed to be given to the future introduction of a digital lodgement system at some undefined time in the future.
Cadastral surveyors hold large amounts of digital information that is suitable for digital reinstatement systems. This information, if appropriately archived and distributed, has the capacity to meet the needs of reinstatement systems including as an alternative source of digital information that will eventually be obtained from digital lodgement systems. The existing technology and the private organisation structures are capable of supporting continuous digital data flow and automated systems.
This research proposes a process of development for private cadastral organisations to advance from traditional systems to continuous digital data flow and automated processes within their cadastral reinstatement systems. The development process is linked to existing legislation and technology taking into consideration likely future directions. The current legislative and technological environments within Queensland allow for development towards automated digital systems that will enhance most current cadastral reinstatement systems.

A atividade agrícola tem importância significativa na economia, justificando diversas pesquisas que busquem a aquisição de informações e desenvolvimento de tecnologias para que os processos envolvidos sejam mais eficientes. A topografia, geodésia e geoprocessamento têm sido utilizados de forma crescente e de diversas formas, tanto para monitoramento, quanto para planejamento na gestão agronômica e dos recursos naturais. O presente trabalho foi realizado na Fazenda Experimental Lageado, em Botucatu-SP e teve por objetivo aferir cartas do IGC e IBGE em comparação com equipamentos de alta precisão, nas quais foram confeccionadas linhas de perfis altimétricos e interpolação dos valores de altimetria. A geoestatística foi utilizada para uma interpolação com predição de erros, na qual os semi-variogramas e a validação cruzada permitiram analisar a correlação espacial e variância dos dados estimados. Como resultados foram obtidos mapas de altimetria, declividade e respectivos residuais altimétricos absolutos para a mensuração da confiabilidade de cartas na classificação de relevo, como também, o uso de cartas para traçado de limites de confrontações naturais, como linhas de cumeada e grota. Pôde-se concluir que não é confiável utilizar as cartas para determinação de limites de confrontação natural como linhas de cumeadas e grotas para certificação de cadastro de registro de imóveis.
The agriculture has a significant importance in economy, demanding several researches that allow information acquisition and technology development aiming an enhancing of the processes involved. Land surveying, geodetic sciences and geoprocessing have been more applied, and in different ways for land monitoring, soil and nature resources management. The present essay was developed on the Experimental Farm Fazenda Experimental Lageado Botucatu – SP, Brazil and aimed an altimetry analysis of IGC and IBGE contour maps with accurate instruments as parameters, in which altimetry profile lines and interpolation of the altitude values were made. The kriging process was used, likewise the semi variogram model, and further the cross validation was made to achieve a known function for the altimetry value’s estimation, spatial correlation and value of variance. Digital elevation models, slope maps and the respective absolute altimetry residuals were made to measure the reliability of the IGC and IBGE contour maps as well as its usefulness for obtaining land topography and natural boundary from gardenbed or flume. It was concluded that the IGC and IBGE contour maps are not reliable for obtaining natural boundary from gardenbed or flume for certification of land registry in Brazil, although IGC contour maps were fine enough for morphometric analysis of small basins. IBGE contour maps as last option could be used for bigger basins analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Studien undersöker om det är någon skillnad mellan en ny generation av Global Navigation Satellite Systems-instrument (GNSS) vad avser noggrannhet vid positionsbestämning och huruvida det är någon tidsskillnad i användande av de olika instrumenten. I studien jämförs det instrument som används idag av Lantmäteriet, Leica Viva CS15 och GS15, med nyare Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 XR. GeoExplorern kan användas antingen med en inbyggd antenn eller med en extern antenn för att ta emot satellitsignaler. Båda konfigurationerna är undersökta i studien.Studien genomfördes genom att etablera två lokala stomnät med satsmätning, för att få "facit"-punkter att jämföra GNSS-mätningarna mot. Näten transformerades in i SWEREF 99 12 00 med hjälp av statisk GNSS-mätning. Därefter mättes alla punkter i näten in 30 gånger per punkt med vart och ett av GNSS-instrumenten, för att få ett statistiskt säkert underlag.Resultatet visar att Trimble med extern antenn generellt hade minst spridning (0,009-0,020 meter i dolt nät och 0,008-0,013 meter i öppet nät) men den hade överlag ett något större avstånd från "facit"-punkten än Leican (0,016-0,088 meter i dolt nät och 0,032-0,054 meter i öppet nät). Leica-instrumentet hade istället mer spridning (0,021-0,142 meter i dolt nät och 0,014-0,032 meter i öppet nät) men mindre avvikelse från "facit"-punkten (0,006-0,076 meter i dolt nät och 0,019-0,059 meter i öppet nät). Trimble med intern antenn hade störst spridning (0,021-0,038 meter i dolt nät och 0,013-0,048 meter i öppet nät) och avvek också mest från "facit"-punkten (0,026-0,083 meter i dolt nät och 0,024-0,068 meter i öppet nät).En tidsstudie genomfördes också genom att mäta tiden det tog från att instrumentet var påslaget tills att det var färdigt att mätas med, det vill säga tills initieringen var färdig. Tidsstudien resulterade i att Leica Viva var i genomsnitt 12 % snabbare då omgivningen var fri från hinder, och i genomsnitt 21 % snabbare då närområdet var bevuxet med träd och buskar.Slutsatsen av projektet är att instrumenten är likvärdiga vad gäller kvalitet på mätningar och tidsåtgång. Den stora skillnaden finner vi i vikt och tyngdpunkt på instrumenten, där Trimble med intern antenn har den lägsta vikten.This study examines whether there is any difference in a new generation of Global Navigation Satellite System instruments (GNSS) in the accuracy of positioning and whether there is any time difference when using the different instruments. The study compares the instruments used today by Lantmäteriet, the Leica Viva CS15 and the GS15, with the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 XR. The GeoExplorer can be used either with an integrated or an external antenna to receive satellite signals, both configurations are investigated in this study. The study was carried out by establishing two core networks with set measurements, to obtain "true" coordinates to compare against the measurements made with the GNSS-instruments. The networks were transformed into SWEREF 99 12 00 using static GNSS surveying. Then each point was measured 30 times by each of the GNSS instruments, in order to get statistically reliable data. The result shows that Trimble with an external antenna generally had the best precision (0,009-0,020 meters in the shrouded network and 0,008-0,013 meters in the open network) but had less accuracy (0,016-0,088 meters in the shrouded network and 0,032-0,054 meters in the open network), in other words a greater distance from the "true" coordinate. The Leica instrument had a lower precision (0,021-0,142 meters in the shrouded network and 0,014-0,032 meters in the open network), but better accuracy (0,006-0,076 meters in the shrouded network and 0,019-0,059 meters in the open network). Trimble with the internal antenna had the lowest precision (0,021-0,038 meters in the shrouded network and 0,013-0,048 meters in the open network) and accuracy (0,026-0,083 meters in the shrouded network and 0,024-0,068 meters in the open network). A time course study was also conducted by measuring the time it took from the point where the instrument was turned on, to when the initialization was completed. The result of the time study was that the Leica Viva was about 12 percent faster when the environment was free of obstacles, and around 21 percent faster when the immediate area was more forest like with trees and bushes. The conclusion of the project is that the instruments are equivalent in terms of quality of measurements and time. The big difference is found in the weight and center of gravity of the instruments, where Trimble with internal antenna has the lowest weight.

Full textAbstract:
The Upper Wabash Drainage over the last few years has become an area which has provided archaeologists with vital data concerning prehistoric settlement patterns. One time period which has not been well represented is the Archaic Period. Many questions have been unanswered about Archaic settlement patterns within the region. This study examines data from archaeological survey and presents a model for both Early and Late Archaic settlement within the Upper Wabash drainage. The information generated by this analysis will provide a better understanding of the Archaic period within this region. The study will also prove to be useful as a reference for future research as well as an important mechanism for resource management.Department of Anthropology

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study consists of gaining an understanding about Augmented Reality (AR) and if this technology can help land-surveyors to visualize cadastral parcels using an iOS app. In addition, the app is also used to get insights of what it takes for an AR system to replace 2D paper maps completely. In land-surveyors daily work, they usually bring annotated 2D paper maps to locate their assets when they do field work. However, the 2D paper map can be cumbersome to use because the map visualizes assets in 2D while the working environment for land-surveyors is in 3D. Therefore, this study presents an AR app that can visualize cadastral parcels in 3D in collaboration with a company called InfoTrader. This dissertation utilizes a qualitative methodology with a design and creation strategy as well as semi-structured interviews. To get feedback and evaluate the proposed app it was tested with professionals with experience in the land-surveying business. The findings from testing the app indicated that the app could be very useful in different scenarios. Nevertheless, to completely replace the 2D paper map, the AR system should integrate all the layers of information that the 2D map provides.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation develops the model of a prototype system for the digital lodgement of spatial data sets with statutory bodies responsible for the registration and approval of land related actions under the Torrens Title system. Spatial data pertain to the location of geographical entities together with their spatial dimensions and are classified as point, line, area or surface. This dissertation deals with a sub-set of spatial data, land boundary data that result from the activities performed by surveying and mapping organisations for the development of land parcels.
The prototype system has been developed, utilising an event-driven paradigm for the user-interface, to exploit the potential of digital spatial data being generated from the utilisation of electronic techniques. The system provides for the creation of a digital model of the cadastral network and dependent data sets for an area of interest from hard copy records. This initial model is calibrated on registered control and updated by field survey to produce an amended model. The field-calibrated model then is electronically validated to ensure it complies with standards of format and content.
The prototype system was designed specifically to create a database of land boundary data for subsequent retrieval by land professionals for surveying, mapping and related activities. Data extracted from this database are utilised for subsequent field survey operations without the need to create an initial digital model of an area of interest.
Statistical reporting of differences resulting when subsequent initial and calibrated models are compared, replaces the traditional checking operations of spatial data performed by a land registry office.
Digital lodgement of survey data is fundamental to the creation of the database of accurate land boundary data. This creation of the database is fundamental also to the efficient integration of accurate spatial data about land being generated by modem technology such as global positioning systems, and remote sensing and imaging, with land boundary information and other information held in Government databases.
The prototype system developed provides for the delivery of accurate, digital land boundary data for the land registration process to ensure the continued maintenance of the integrity of the cadastre. Such data should meet also the more general and encompassing requirements of, and prove to be of tangible, longer term benefit to the developing, electronic land information industry.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie har gjorts i syfte att utreda vilka effekter som kommun, byggherre och bank upplever då en exploateringsfastighet överlåts till en byggherre först efter att byggnationer påbörjats inom ramen för en kommunal markanvisning. Studien har gjorts på förslag av Gävle kommun som sökt svar på om en överlåtelsetidpunkt efter byggstart kan vara ett instrument att uppnå rätt resultat då exploatering görs på kommunalt ägd mark. För att belysa effekterna har studien gjorts genom jämförelse av hur aktörer upplever förfarandet som tillämpas av Örebro kommun med hur aktörer upplever förfarandet som tillämpas av Gävle kommun. I Örebro kommun genomförs marköverlåtelsen till byggherren först efter att byggnationer påbörjats på fastigheten. I Gävle kommun sker normalt överlåtelsen innan byggstart även om svävarvillkor ibland förekommer vilket fördröjer byggherrens möjlighet att erhålla lagfart. För att förstå hur aktörerna kommun, byggherre och bank upplever effekterna har (1) semi-strukturerade, kvalitativa telefonintervjuer gjorts med aktörer på respektive orter. (2) Avtal om markanvisning har granskats för att förstå hur kommunerna reglerar sina respektive överlåtelsetidpunkter. Resultatet visar att tidpunkten för exploateringsfastighetens överlåtelse kan användas som instrument att förhindra spekulation med kommunalt ägd mark. Resultatet visar också att mindre byggherrar behöver mer egna medel för att klara ökade kostnader i exploateringsprocessens tidiga skeden som följd av att byggnationer behöver påbörjas innan finansiering genom byggnadskreditiv finns på plats. Av de svar som erhållits från banker indikeras att tidpunkten som sådan inte har någon betydelse för bankens möjlighet att ställa ut ett byggnadskreditiv, så länge banken kan erbjudas tillräcklig säkerhet. Utöver panträtt i fast egendom kan vissa banker godta en moderbolagsborgen som säkerhet. Som medel att förhindra markspekulation kan också köpets bestånd göras beroende av att byggnationer påbörjas på exploateringsfastigheten. I det fallet påbörjas överlåtelseprocessen innan byggstart med ett giltigt köpekontrakt och panträtt kan upplåtas i fastigheten med den lagfarna ägarens medgivande. Det kommunala målet att säkerställa rätt resultat förefaller snarare vara beroende av kommunala förvaltningars samordning och hur exploateringsprocessen bedrivs i sin helhet.This study has been conducted to investigate how municipalities, developers and banks perceive the effects of having to commence construction as a prerequisite for vesting of the real estate to be developed, within the scope of municipal land allocations. The municipality of Gävle suggested the study as they sought to establish if the time of vestment, as an activity in the land developing process, could be used as an instrument to ensure the correct results of such a process. The study was conducted as a comparison between the municipalities of Gävle and Örebro and how stakeholders in the respective areas perceive the effects. In the municipality of Örebro real estate is vested to the developer once construction work on the property has commenced. In the municipality of Gävle the real estate is normally vested prior to commencement of construction work. In some cases, however, full ownership rights are delayed by means of contractual conditions requiring the developer to commence construction work for the contract to become fully valid, and thus allowing the developer to receive the title deed. To understand how the stakeholders municipality, developers and banks perceive the effects, (1) semi-structured qualitative telephone interviews have been conducted across the mentioned stakeholder groups in both locations. (2) Contracts of land allocation have been studied to understand how the time of vesting is regulated by both municipalities. The results show that the time of vesting of the real estate to be developed can be used as an instrument to prevent speculation with publicly owned property. The results also show that small scale land developers require more funds to cope with increased costs that result from the inability to receive building loans using the real estate as security for such funding. Interview answers from banks imply that the time of vesting the real estate to be developed is of no importance to them as long as sufficient security can be offered towards building loan funding. Apart from liens in real estate, parent company guarantees were mentioned as a possible alternative. As a means to prevent land speculation, contract clauses delaying the title deed to be transferred until commencement of construction, may be used. In this case the vesting process is initiated prior to commencement of construction using a valid contract, and a lien in the real estate to be developed can be offered to the bank with the permission of the municipality as the title deed holder. The aim of the municipality to ensure the correct results of the development process appears to be more dependent on how the council boards interact and how the land development process is carried out in its entirety.

Bilen har länge stått i centrum vid samhällsplanering och har präglat gatunätets utformning. Därför behövs både allmänna och enskilda parkeringar för besökare och boende. Parkeringsplatserna kan anordnas både innanför och utanför detaljplan. Vad som skiljer dessa tillvägagångssätt är själva processen. Oavsett val av process krävs alltid bygglov för parkeringsanläggningar. Samhället är nu i en utvecklingsfas där normer och policys går mot en hållbarhetsförändring. Många kommuner väljer idag att styra mindre antal parkeringsplatser för att främja valet av alternativa transportmedel. Denna studie berör mindre kustkommuner längsmed västkusten som påverkas av ett ökat invånarantal under sommarhalvåret. Detta ökade invånarantal medför en stor mäng bilister och ett större parkeringsbehov. Studien jämför kommunerna Båstad, Orust och Tjörn och deras praktiska lösningar. Studien kartlägger kommunernas praktiska lösningar samt dess synsätt på parkeringsproblematiken under sommarhalvåret. Med hjälp av denna kartläggning kan andra kommuner inspireras och vägledas. Genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med tre olika tjänstemän på vardera kommun togs jämförelsekriterier fram och utifrån detta framställdes ett resultat. De tre kommunerna visade sig ha skilda lösningar på parkeringsproblemet, så som ändrad lokalisering av parkeringsplatser, alternativa transportmedel eller provisoriska parkeringsplatser. Båstads kommun har valt att anlägga en större parkeringsplats utanför centrum, dit bilister hänvisas genom skyltning. Orust kommun har ordnat med lånecyklar till besökare och satsar på ett nytt gång- och cykelnät. Tjörns kommun väljer att anlägga provisoriska parkeringsplatser för att täcka upp ökat behov.The car has for a long time been in the center of society planning and has characterized the street network. Therefore, both public parking spaces are required for visitors but also accommodation. The parking spaces can be arranged both inside and outside the local plan. Regardless of the choice of process, construction permits are required for parking facilities. The society is now in a developmental phase where norms and policies is heading for a sustainable development. Many municipalities choose to control the number of parking spaces to promote the choice of alternative transportations. This study handle smaller coastal municipalities along the west coast which is affected by a drastically increased population during the summer. This increased population is causing a large number of drivers and a major parking demand. The participating municipalities are Båstad, Orust and Tjörn whose practical solutions are compared. The study is a mapping of the municipalities’ practical solutions and its approach to parking problems during the summer. With the help of this survey, other municipalities can be inspired and guided. Semi-structured interviews with three different officials in each municipality showed comparative criteria and based on this a result was produced. The three municipalities proved to have different solutions to the parking problem, such as changing the location of parking spaces, alternative transportations or temporary parking spaces. Båstad municipality has chosen to build a larger parking lot outside the city center, where drivers are referred by signage. Orust municipality has arrange rental bikes for visitors and is investing in a new walking and cycling network. Tjörn municipality chooses to set up provisional parking spaces to cover increased needs.

There are several reasons resulting poor quality of cadastral surveying in mountainous areas. These could be the insufficient numbers of control points, the lack of reliable boundaries and deformation of stretched cadastral maps. To improve the accuracy level, we use three procedures in this research to coordinate transformation: (1) Locating control points using Electronical-Global Positioning System (e-GPS) on Taiwan Datum 1997 (TWD97). (2) Grids on TWD97 for deformation of stretched cadastral maps. (3) Compiling locations of Taipower towers on digital cadastral maps. By choosing Fusing Township, Taoyuan County as the study area, we outline conclusions as follows: (1) It is feasible to locate control points using e-GPS in mountainous areas. It is more suitable to use Affine Transformation with Least- Squares Collocation (LSC) to pinpoint control points on TWD97. In the field work, the maximum distance error is 1.5 cm. (2) It is conformed to the original specifications by using Conformal Transformation and mapping cadastral grids on TWD97. (3) It is more appropriate to resolve deformation of stretched cadastral maps and compile locations of Taipower towers on the digital cadastral maps using Affine Transformation with LSC. (4) The results of coordinate transformation using Back-propagation Network (BPN) are qualified to the accuracy of Cadastration Act.

Full textAbstract:
Land surveyors are using sophisticated digital equipment and the best available technologies to make observations in the field. These three-dimensional data are rigorously tested and adjusted in the office using advanced mathematical and software tools.
In the case of surveying data provided to architects and engineers, a common workflow is for the surveyor to derive representations of surfaces such as terrain in a 2.5D TIN format and to deliver products to clients as 2D vector drawings. From these representations, architects or engineers, reconstruct these simplified 2D drawings into a 3D terrain object.
The latest technological advances of building information modelling (BIM) methods create exceptional opportunities for the land surveying profession. The utilisation of BIM not only preserves the spatial integrity of the 3D components of the field observations but also offers numerous additional opportunities. BIM allow the creation of 3D terrain objects which can be used directly by the other stakeholders on the project. Terrain models within a BIM environment can be equipped with attachments and attributes and therefore used to store supplementary information. Custom made additional objects can describe certain features of a property in 3D, such as a building envelope, easements, underground services or even soil layers. Relevant addition data, such as long- or short-term climate data, precipitation and wind conditions, sun-path, and shadow-casting data can be attached or linked. Customised 3D objects can indicate the internal space-structure of a building, and thus support an Indoor Navigation system. Other customised 3D objects may indicate the ownership or strata title, consequently supporting a future 3D Cadastre registration with accurate spatial data. BIM procedures are automatically recorded therefore the BIM models are legally transparent and traceable.
The project seeks to investigate the impacts and opportunities presented by Building Information Models for land surveyors, and argues that the 3D modelling and common data environment provided by BIM creates important opportunities for land surveyors and for the surveying industry and profession.

The land surveying in Taiwan has adopted several results of different control surveying systems. It leads to the lack of tight connection in different surveying areas. They couldn''t be overlayed and linked directly by the coordinate grids, and thus it results in integrative problems of various types of maps. For widespread application of the National Information Systems in the future, the digital results of land suverying have to satisfy the integrative needs of different degree of rigidity, and can be easily overlayed with other spatial information. In this study, a theoretically tight and pratically useful integrative method is suggested so as to solve different kinds of problems of tight overlay in maps. Least - Squares Collocation Theory is chosen as the standard operation model and served as the primary method for coordinates transformation. The method of the geometrical contract adjustment accomodates the primary method to solve the problems of recurrency error after transformation in each reference point and to remain geometrical relationships. Through the study, the experimental analysises of the simulated test data and the real cases of digital cadastral map results prove that integrated model of land surveying can solve contradiction and difficulty in application that result from the inconsistent coordinates, and further achieve the goal of integration .

Traditional cadastral surveying uses the graphic method of plane table for surveying and drawing the cadastral data of land and building. Nowadays, it widely uses the digital ways such as electronic distance measurement, GPS（or RTK）etc., to obtain the cadastral information. For the surface features which measure difficultly, not only increase surveyors’ danger, but also produce errors. Moreover, for the 2D formed cadastral map and authenticated map, it is difficult to browse for the public, court, and prosecuting agencies. If those can be formed 3D to show, not only reading can be convenient , but also find out the relation of space position of surface features, and then making the land rights ensure clearly. This research adopts the ” Ground 3D Laser Scanner ” to obtain the 3D point cloud data of said land under no contacting the present situation of surface features. The coordinate systems at scanning stations were transformed into published cadastral coordinate system, and then analyze the precision of transformed results by check points. On the next step, the transformed results joined with cadastral map by the way of reliable boundaries, then display the precision of joined results and 3D information in the authenticated map. According to the research results indicated: （1）The result which point cloud data joined with cadastral map by the way of reliable boundaries reveals the building of said land has overstridden and the largest difference between cadastral lines and scanned state line is 0.9646 meter. （2）It indeed has originality to apply 3D laser scanner to the authenticated surveying of said land, and the disputed areas can be represented by the jointed results with 2D and 3D formed.

In 1887, following the completion of the CPR to the Pacific, William Stewart Drewry took part in the Topographical Survey of Canada's first experiment with photographic surveying, which he applied to the Rocky Mountain Railway Belt. He then surveyed the rich mining districts of BC during the Kootenay hardrock mining boom (1893-1909). In 1909, he became BC's first and only Chief Water Commissioner and, in 1911, he returned to surveying as BC's Inspector of Surveys. From 1913 until his retirement in 1929, he surveyed for government and in private practice. Throughout his career, Drewry operated between two land systems: first, a system based on customary rights and local obligations; and, second, a system based on private property and market exchange. Drewry implemented the latter capitalist system, attempting to empower the settlement society, which had the effect of ensuring corporate dominance and, to Drewry's dismay, monopolization of the BC landscape.

Cadastral maps are the most elemental data of the surveying work in the land administration offices. Cadastral maps could be divided into two kinds: digital cadastral maps and graphical ones, the former are operated with efficiency and high precision, however the latter are on the contrary. With the accomplishment of scanning and transforming graphical cadastral maps into digital data by Ministry of the Interior, the boundary points of graphical cadastral maps therefore have their own coordinates. However, the previous purpose of digitizing cadastral maps is to preserve cadastral maps data, and the corresponding between digital cadastral maps data and actual spatial location is out of consideration, Thus, though there are digitized coordinate numeric data of the cadastral maps, it is still unable to operate land resurvey with numeric method. This study takes advantage of “ land-registration, land-resurvey, land- price, and land use-computer operating system” used by the land administration office as operating platform. By means of increasing the density of control points and repairing transverse points, Affine transformation model is used to establish the transformation parameters between two different coordinate system. Through correction process of parameters transformation and repairing transverse point, the goal is to find out the feasibility of directly numeric method to operate land re-survey of digitized cadastral maps area, which improves the shortcomings of graphic method adopted now to operate land re-survey of cadastral maps area. Through experimental and practical tests, the operating system cstablished can solve the problem of corresponding between digital cadastral maps data and actual spatial location, connecting the digital cadastal maps data with the TWD67 coordinate system which is used in the peripheral re-survey area, and accomplish the goal of directly adopting numeric method to operate land re-survey of digital cadastral maps area.

Full textAbstract:
The Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Namibia is responsible for all land issues. The resettlement of landless farmers, of the previous disadvantaged groups, is one of the issues. The Agricultural (Commercial) Land Reform Act (Act 6 of 1995) applies to the commercial land parts of the country. Under this act the government of Namibia has the first option on the purchase of commercial farms when these are offered for sale. These purchased farms will then be used to resettle the landless farmers from the communal areas. These applicants may obtain a long-term lease over the purchased commercial farms. Long-term leases are legally required to be registered in the Deeds Office. A cadastral lease diagram is required for registration. The government, through the Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation, has bought approximately 130 farms for resettlement purposes. On June 2003 approximately 13 of these resettlement farms were surveyed and cadastral lease diagrams prepared for registration in the Deeds Office. The author argues that many factors have affected the slow progress of the resettlement in Namibia including the time required for the preparation of the cadastral lease diagram. The current field survey techniques, Total Stations or/and GPS, are very reliable, but are slow. The use of digital orthophotos has been shown to shorten the time to prepare the cadastral lease diagrams. The Author further argues that because digital orthophotos are available at the Surveyor-General's Office means, there are no cost implications. The cost of the cadastral lease diagrams by using digital orthophotos is only a third of the cost of using the current field survey techniques. Replacing current survey techniques with digital orthophotos or including the use of digital orthophotos, as a surveying technique would require the revision of the Land Survey Act (Act 33 of 1993) and the Survey Regulations, under section 5 of the said Land Survey Act - Government Notice No. 58 of 2002.Thesis (M.Env.Dev.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.

Land information is a an important resource in planning, and in undertaking land administration functions such as allocation of interests to land, land adjudication, land valuation, physical planning, etc. Rapid urbanization, however, puts great pressure on personnel delegated to undertake these functions. The
personnel can no longer cope with capturing, processing and disseminating land information for the increasing urban population.
Observing the failures of land information management to cope with rapid urbanization, the researcher undertook an exploration into the capabilities of LIS to manage land informatioo for The Millennium Park Land Development Project (MPLDP) in Maseru, the Lesotho capital. The project is based on land readjustment
principles and is of mulli-stakeholdership. Such big and networked projects have been shown to be associated with land information management problems. Undertaking this research was motivated by many success stories however, world wide, in which LIS was introduced as a tool to assist in land information management. The main themes in this project are firstly, the study of Land re-adjustment as a land management technique to meet land demand for urbanization and secondly land information system as a tool to manage land information for a land re-adjustment project. Study of LR will help understand what land information is required for such a land management project. Study of land information system will help exploring its
capabilities that can be applied to manage land in formation for LR projects. Furthermore, as a case study to this, the MPLDP system is analysed. examining the activities and ways in
which land information is managed. This analysis is aimed at identifying the constraints that result in the observed back logs in the project activities; and recommending improvements. Many problems and constraints are identified in the MPLDP. As a land surveyor, only improvements related to technical constraints are considered in this research, with cognizance of the legal and institutional issues that need to be addressed in implementation of these improvements. The main improvement discussed is the creation of automated databases and illustrations are given on how these databases could be used to manage land information effectively for the MPLDP.Thesis (M.Sc.Sur.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2001.

One of the major policy objectives of the South African government is to reform land tenure and address the current inequitable dispossession of land. A key to the successful implementation of land reform in communal areas will be the recently enacted Communal Land Rights Act. This Act allows communities to be vested with juristic personality, and enables those communities to acquire and hold rights, incur obligations, and encumber the land by mortgage in the name of the community. Communities will now have a legal tenure recognized by and enforceable at law. The Act provides the mechanism for replacing old order rights with new order rights, which, in turn, may be upgraded to freehold title with community consent. While the Communal Land Rights Act is clear in its approach to providing legal security of tenure, the implementation and linking of the internal land rights within these new legal collective ownership structures to the existing formal system is still uncertain. With the flexibility allowed under the Act, this dissertation offers a simple, cost-effective alternative for the registration of land rights using the envisioned Land Clerk of the Department of Land Affairs. This option involves placing suitably equipped Land Clerks into the communities in which they serve, operating as autonomous self-sustaining contractors. Research for this project was conducted in the community of Ekuthuleni (KwaZuluNatal), where two members of the community were equipped with a portable rig and trained to perform as Land Clerks. The author and others from the University trained them in the use of a computer, scanner, printer, handheld GPS receiver, and assorted software. In addition, to allow them to function autonomously, a photovoltaic power system was set up at their residence. To assess their ability as Land Clerks, several field projects were undertaken within the community. Under the guidance of the author, these field tests involved contacting individual landowners, capturing personal and property information, and registering that data into a specially written database programme. Evidence of previous land ownership was noted and rebristered, GPS coordinates were collected and registered in the process of delineating the landowner's property, and a form reflecting all captured data was printed for the landowner's records.Thesis (M.Sc.Eng.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2007.

Full textAbstract:
With the introduction of a new government in South Africa in 1994, the country embarked on a programme of land reform, and currently the process of dealing with the issues of Land Redistribution, Land Restitution and Tenure Reform is underway.
Sound land administration is crucial to the Land Reform programme, and to future peace in the country. Such land administration requires a range of role players with varying levels of education. Also in the field of education the country saw a complete break away from the system of content-based education and competency based training, to one of
outcomes-based education and training. The introduction of this new educational dispensation is overseen by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), who is in the process of ensuring the smooth implementation of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) into all aspects of learning in South Africa. The purpose of the NQF in the broad sense is to provide for the registration of nationally and internationally recognised qualifications on all levels in an integrated system, in
order to facilitate access to and provide mobility in education and training. The NQF is designed to develop learning that is relevant to the needs of industry, the individual and the economy, but also to be dynamic and able to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. It therefore is providing South African educators with new challenges in the field of Outcomes-Based Education and training. One of the methods available to identify appropriate learner outcomes to meet the above requirements is the DACUM method, which works on the premise that expert workers are better able to describe/define their job than anyone else. The DACUM method is a proven way of arriving at relevant outcomes, which is the starting point in the curriculum development process as used in outcomes-based education and training programmes. In this thesis the DACUM model is tested as a tOGI for
designing relevant outcomes, and such outcomes are modified in accordance with outcomes in practices in existing programmes in land administration in SouthernAnother important component in designing learning outcomes is to ensure that appropriate embedded knowledge is identified in order to avoid that learning
becomes mechanistic without learners mastering necessary content. In this thesis a body of general knowledge has been compiled which can inform the curriculum developer on relevant embedded knowledge when designing learning units in Land
Administration. This body of knowledge includes land related historical issues in South Africa as well as Australia and the USA, Government Policies and Legislation dealing with Land Reform. Finally some learning units in one of the fields in land administration were developed. In making the choice of which field, care was taken to identify one which will span a range of NQF levels, and the choice fell on the adjudication of land rights, which proved to have relevant learning on every NQF level from Level 3 to Level 7. To achieve this the writer had to interview a number of stakeholders and compile a body of knowledge specific to adjudication. Care was taken to develop elements, which could be used by the Standards Generating Body (SGB) in Surveying in designing Unit Standards, as well as by educators in Higher and Further Education.

Zimbabwe is made up of eight provinces, fifty-seven districts and as many Rural
District Councils. In each district there is at least one Growth Point although some
may have up to two or more. A Growth Point is a 'town or City in the making' and is
usually, but not necessarily the capital of a district. Rural District Councils, which
form the local administrative authority and have administrative responsibility over the
land that falls within their jurisdictions, are often located at these Growth Points.
These local authorities liaise and interact closely with central government, which is
made up of Ministries and Departments with different functions, which somehow
hinge on the administration of the land. This makes the linkages and land information
flows, based on land records crucial. The legacy of the history of separate
development introduced and left systems of government, which are complex and
hinder a free flow of information within central government and also between central
and local governments. These linkages and interrelationships are mapped and traced
with a view to streamlining information flows in order to eliminate or minimize flaws .
While the efforts of decentralisation towards this goal are recognized, the
shortcomings have been cited and the thesis makes some recommendations based on a
research undertaken with the cooperation of Gokwe Rural District Council at Gokwe
Growth Point. The thesis recommends strengthening the local capacity by assisting
their efforts to computerise their records and eventually develop that into a fully
integrated local Land Information System that should eventually be linked to the

For local authorities to manage land policies effectively data bases of land use information that
are current and mirror development on the ground are required. At present local authorities have
no mechanisms in place to acquire maintain and spatially link land use information. Detailed land
use information is not generally available at the local level. Generally little attention is paid to
maintaining the expensive data which is assembled when planning schemes, development plans or projects are prepared. Land use planning has traditionally focussed on the control rather than the facilitation of
development. Details of the actual land use on the ground are generally ignored as tariffs for tax
purposes are set on the zoning of the land or a flat rate rather than the actual land use.
This lack of land use information, which is exacerbated by informal settlement, causes delays in
approving new land uses. There is generally no data available for informal areas and land use
and tenure is subject to the informal rules that have evolved with such settlements. If these areas
are to be included in the formal land management systems, ways of including and maintaining
land use information about these settlements must be developed.
By reviewing land information theory, the South African legal land development framework and
using a small town as a case study, I have shown that provided certain conditions are met a Spatial
Decision Support System (SDSS), designed to record and maintain the land use data necessary to
support land use planning in both formal and informal contexts, could be a valuable land management tool. Such a system should be implemented in partnership with local communities and should;
• support local level land use decision making and regulation
• serve as a land management tool to integrate formal and informal communities
• have mechanisms to keep land use information current
• be transparent about the type of land use information
• develop linkages with regional government to provide detailed land information over time.Thesis (M.Sc.Sur.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2002.

This dissertation examines the various forms of informal settlements in evidence in the Greater
Edendale Area, and extracts the design criteria for the development of an appropriatc land records
system to manage these informal settlements and their upgrading processes.
It is shown that the various setllement patterns in existence ill the Greater Edcndale Area (GEA)
reflect the apartheid history of South Africa and the policies of the previous governments. All exhibit
certain aspects of informality, and therefore exist at various points on a continuum of formality-informality.
Certain settlement patterns, such as the properties within formal townships developed
by the former Department of Development Aid, possess many formal aspects and relatively fewer
informalities, whereas others, for example the conventional informal settlements on State owned land,
are informal in almost every respect.
It is shown that the government's policies require informal aspects of settlements relating to land
tenure and services should be upgraded, and that the responsibility for such upgrading has been
delegated to the local government level. I will show that this upgrading of informal settlements can
be broken down into four major processes which make up the overall upgrading process. These are
land delivery, land tenure reform, provision of services, and cost recovery. It is argued that to
effectivcly deal with these upgrading responsibilities, the local government structure. in this case the
Pietermaritzburg-Msunduzi Transitional Local Council , should develop and maintain a land records
system at the local level, with community participation to ensure sustainability.
The design requirements for such a system are identified throughout the chapters, and are drawn
together in the final chapter as a set of design criteria for the land records system. These design
criteria call be represented by five main themes: firstly, that the land records system should be based
on the design of the multipurpose cadastre; secondly, that in addition, it should accommodate non-
parcel-based tenures; thirdly, that it should incorporate temporal GIS technology; fourthly, that it
should be easily accessible to the community; and finally, that it should incorporate the users' needs
and should be extremely user-friendly.Thesis (M.Sc.Sur)-University of Natal, Durban, 2001.

No matter traditional cadastral survey or every hi-tech survey and draw technology that is promoting this center needs to depend on every different levels of survey and draw talents to reach the goals of this organize. So this center should not merely absorb the outstanding talent in fit time but also should keep the outstanding and experienced talents all the while. If the rate of quit was too high, the input of this organize will be increase and the experience could not be accumulated and transmited. So, the reason why the staffs leave office is a great subject that worth to probe. Regards the study about technology of surveying and drawing, most probing into the technical development as targets. But the relations between human resources and organization as the study of starting point much absently. This research measures different attributes of survey and draw staff from three dimensions:「Job characteristic」,「Job Satisfactuon」, 「Turnover Intention」. These three items difference. And three researches relations dependence of item and ability of predict. Collect these materials with questionnaire investigation method, and「Descriptive Statistics Analysis」, 「Factor Analysis」, 「Reliability Analysis」,「t-test」, 「One-Way ANOVA」,「Pearson''s Correlation Analysis」, 「Regression Analysis」etc, statistical methods to discuss. The conclusions obtained mainly as follow： 1: The staff of different '' personal attribute '' and '' Job Characteristic '' have apparent differences . 2: The staff of different '' personal attribute '' and '' Job Satisfaction '' have apparent difference. 3: The staff of different '' personal attribute '' and '' Turnover Intention '' have apparent difference. 4: Staff '' Job Characteristic '' with '' Job Satisfaction '' have relation of obviously. 5: Staff '' Job Characteristic '' with ''Turnover Intention'' have relation of obviously. 6: Staff '' Job Satisfaction '' with ''Turnover Intention'' have relation of obviously. 7: Staff ''Job Characteristic '' with ''Job Satisfaction '' have apparent ability of predicting. 8: Staff ''Job Characteristic'' with ''Turnover Intention'' have apparent ability of predicting. 9: Staff ''Job Satisfaction'' with '' Turnover Intention'' have apparent ability of predicting.

This is a case study research that focuses on the assessment of the impacts of land use changes on the Duthuni wetland ecosystem in Limpopo Province using geospatial techniques and Social Survey. SPOT 4 satellite images which covered the time frame between 1999, 2005 to 2012, were used. The unit of analysis included different institutions such as the local municipality, farmers, the heads of the households and Chief of the Village. In this study, different methods of sampling were used in different context for selecting participants and for sample size determination. The different instruments for data collection included the questionnaires, interviews, focus group interviews and documents review. Socio-economic survey and review of documents were carried out to understand historical trends, collect ground truth and other secondary information required. Data collected from the survey were captured and analysed using the Statistical Package for Scientific Solutions (SPSS). For quantitative analysis, Chi-Square and cross tabulation were employed in SPSS. Analysis of satellite imagery was accomplished through integrated use of ERDAS Imagine (version 2015) and ArcGIS (version 10.1) software package. The themes were identified and analysed using the content analysis based on the main research topics. The results show that the land use/ cover changes have occurred at an unprecedented rate over the years 1999 to 2012. From the year 1999 to the year 2012, the total land use/ cover conversions equal to 299.984 ha of land. The trend and spatial extent of land use/ cover changes had undergone considerable changes over the years in the study period. The major contributing factors included population increase, expansion of agriculture and lack of space to settle. The residential area was found to be the major factor contributing to land use change over the years with an increase of (102.87ha.). People residing in Duthuni village especially along the wetland ecosystem consist of the majority of female-headed households. There is no proper facilitation and mentoring in the village by the government in order to resolve social problems when it comes to land use change. Water pollution and soil erosion were found to be the major concern by wetland users such as farmers and residents. Lack of knowledge has also been identified as one of the driving factors of environmental impacts of land use change in the area. Food was the most resources with 41% which the community gets from the wetland.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines prehistoric land use patterns of the entire North Santiam
subbasin, located on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascade Range. The objective of
this analysis is three-fold: 1) to contribute to reconstructing the cultural chronology of
the area; 2) to address the use of raw material by local hunter-gatherers and how raw
material can be used to reconstruct the seasonal procurement ranges for these groups; and
3) to model the adaptive strategies of the prehistoric inhabitants of the North Santiam
subbasin.
The adaptive strategies of hunter-gatherer groups in the North Santiam subbasin are
addressed by using the known ethnographic record, limited archaeological excavations,
and the environmental and social data layers in Geographic Information Systems.
ArcView Spatial Analyst was used to analyze the density and distribution of prehistoric
sites and their association with major vegetation, huckleberry patches, non-forested
communities, slope, aspect, streams, lithic sources, hot springs and trails within the
subbasin. Five elevation zones are outlined corresponding to the site density pattern and
the key predictive environmental and social variables. This study assumed that sites are
not randomly distributed across the landscape; instead hunter-gatherer groups chose a
particular location based on the natural environment. It is also assumed that many of the
environmental variables have survived to modern time and are represented by the
presently available data.
Concurrent trace element analysis by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and obsidian
hydration analysis conducted on projectile points recovered from the surface and
subsurface have provided evidence for early occupation in the subbasin; and revealed
patterns in mobility, social interaction, and the use of raw material during the Archaic.
The key predictive variables sustained a diversity of plant and animal resources that
attracted human groups from both east and west of the Cascade Mountains over the past
10,000 years to seasonally hunt and procure a variety of important plant resources. The
results of this study while descriptive in nature elucidates a pattern of land-use by hunter-gatherers,
by providing key distributional data on prehistoric sites and their association to
particular ecological zones within the North Santiam subbasin during the Archaic Period.Graduation date: 2002
