Why I should Record My Survey
Track: Survey & GIS Technology Case Studies

Overview and Purpose

The intent of this paper is to emphasize the value of GIS to Surveyors as well as the value of Surveyors to GIS. The underlying theme is the desire for a "Spatially Accurate" multi-purpose cadastre. GIS Professionals require an accurate land base to work from. But the responsibility for the accuracy of that landbase with respect to ownership rests in the hands of Land Surveyors.

The resultant data from a survey can only be shared if there is a vehicle for making that possible. A uniform method of recordation benefits both parties. It gives GIS Professionals spatially accurate land ownership. And when the database is kept current, it greatly improves research capabilities for Surveyors.
