Surveying and mapping disciplines
Surveying and mapping are fields focused on measuring, analyzing, and representing the Earth's surface. Surveying involves determining precise locations and land boundaries using tools like GPS, total stations, and levels, essential for construction, land division, and development. Mapping takes this data to create accurate visual representations or maps, showing features, terrain, and boundaries. Together, they provide vital information for planning, engineering, and environmental management, ensuring projects and land use are accurate, legal, and sustainable.
