Fundamentals of surveying, cartography and cadastre -AulaGEO

Course Objective

The objective of this course is to provide a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of surveying and cadastral systems and their relationship with disciplines associated with land studies. Throughout the course, you will learn about the methods and techniques used in surveying, including measuring distances and angles, using surveying instruments, and interpreting maps and plans. Additionally, we will explore how these concepts are applied in cadastral systems and their connections to land tenure.

What Students Will Learn

• Basic principles of surveying.

• Techniques for measuring distances and angles.

• Use and handling of surveying instruments.

• Interpretation of maps and plans.

• Application of surveying in cadastral systems.

• Methods for creating and updating cadastral records.

• Treatment and management of errors in surveying.

• Trends in integrating surveying with GIS, BIM, and Artificial Intelligence.
