Study Notes

What is Surveying?

Surveying is the science and art of making measurements to determine the relative positions of points above, on, or beneath the surface of the earth.

Elements of Space

The three elements of space used in surveying are: length, angle, and elevation.

Measurement in Surveying

Surveying primarily involves measuring distances, angles, and elevations between points on the earth's surface.

Purpose of Surveying

The purpose of surveying is to determine the positions of points, lengths, and directions of lines, and to establish the boundaries of areas and volumes.

What Surveying Teaches

Surveying teaches how to collect, analyze, and apply spatial information to solve problems related to planning, design, and management of natural and built environments.
