• Land Surveying
– Is a traditional name applied to measuring
features directly in the field with tools such
Areas in Geomatic theodolites, tapes, electronic meters,
levels, and level staff.
– A common use of surveying today is to

• Geomatic measurement can be generally • Simplifies the survey in that it treats the
divided into two types: surface of the earth as a flat plane.
– Plane Surveying, and • The purpose of this kind of assumption is to
reduce the complexity in the subsequent
– Geodetic Surveying processing of the survey data.
• This simplification of the earth does have an
indirect effect for larger projects.
• In such type of surveying, the effects of
earth curvature is neglected.

• Either plane or geodetic can be classified by • The uses of topographic survey are for:
their purpose as follow: – Engineering design,
– Navigational,
– Topographic Surveys
– Recreational,
These are surveys where the physical features – Geographical,
of the earth are measured. Maps and plans – Geological,
can be prepared to show their relative – Military, and
positions both horizontally and vertically.
– exploration
Depending upon the size of the survey, they
can be geodetic or plane. The map or plan produced in topographic survey
Has scales ranging from 1:25,000 to 1:1,000,000
