Surveying is a method of determining the threedimensional position of points and objects. These positions are usually, but not always, on the surface of the Earth. The established points are sometimes used to create land maps and determine boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes. They are also used to produce a topographic model that is useful in civil engineering and construction. In order to accomplish their task, surveyors use trigonometry, physics, and practiced skill.

There are 6 parts to a Surveyor's Work Decision making - selecting techniques, equipment, etc. Field Work - data acquisition Data processing - calculations to give locations, areas, volumes, etc. Mapping - maps, plans, charts Marking - pegging boundaries, construction, etc (setting out) Reporting - logical conclusion of the task

Surveying is a great skill to learn. As a surveyor, you will become valuable to your community.

Surveying establishes the spatial position (location) of points and objects. These locations are recorded as numerical data in the form of 3D Cartesian coordinates, which means that each point has an X,Y and Z coordinate.

The easiest way to find the coordinates of a point is to start with a known location and measure the difference in X, Y and Z between the known location and the new point. For measuring purposes, it is convenient to separate the Z coordinate (elevation) from the X and Y (Horizontal Plane & Vertical). In most surveying methods, the known point is the location at which the instrument is placed.

also named geodetics, a branch of earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study geodynamical phenomena such as tides and polar motion. For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver.

Cartography (from Greek chartis = map and graphein = write) is the study and practice of making maps. Combining science, aesthetics, and technique, cartography builds on the premise that reality can be modelled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively.

The measurement of the depths, the tides and currents of a body of water and establishment of the sea, river or lake bed topography and morphology. Normally and historically for the purpose of charting a body of water for the safe navigation of shipping. It includes the positioning and identification of things such as wrecks, reefs, structures (platforms etc), navigational lights, marks and buoys and coastline characteristics. It does not include water quality or composition (see Hydrology).

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and oceans) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or satellites

Photogrammetry is the practice of determining the geometric properties of objects from photographic images. Photogrammetry is as old as modern photography and can be dated to the mid-nineteenth century. This practice are using with special camera setup on the flight which is helicopter or airplane. This photo will be process using special software.

Topography is the study of Earth's surface shape and features or those of planets, moons, and asteroids. It is also the description of such surface shapes and features (especially their depiction in maps). The topography of an area can also mean the surface shape and features themselves

A cadastre (also spelled cadaster), using a cadastral survey or cadastral map, is a comprehensive register of the metes-and-bounds real property of a country. A cadastre commonly includes details of the ownership, the tenure, the precise location (some include GPS coordinates), the dimensions (and area), the cultivations if rural(mengusahakan jika di luar bandar), and the value of individual parcels of land. Cadastres are used by many nations around the world, some in conjunction with other records, such as a title register.
