Introduction to GIS
Many of the issues in our world have a critical
spatial component!
Land management
Property lines, easements, right of ways
Data on land values, taxation, assessment
Business site selection, advertising
Proximity of our land to other facilities (pollution, hunting,
municipal, federal, state)
Hydrology: Soil, Elevation, Structures , vegetation
Crime analysis
Emergency management and disaster preparation

Introduction to Surveying
Definition:
Surveying is the science of estimating
the elevation of points on the Earths
surface and determining their
distances, angles, etc.

Problems?
Temperature may affect the measuring tape.
The pull/tension applied to the tape in the field may be different from
the standardization pull.
Tape sagging (mainly for long tapes)
