Scale=GroundDistanceMapDistanceтАЛ тАФ Fundamental ratio for accurate cadastral mapping.
The process involves legal and physical identification of boundary markers using geodetic control points. Surveyors measure distances and bearings between monuments (corners) to generate a 'cadastre' or a map that records the dimensions and area of individual holdings, which is then cross-referenced with registry documents.
Cadastral maps are primarily used for public land records and taxation purposes.
It deals with the 'cadastre', which serves as the legal register of property ownership.
Accuracy requirements are generally higher than for topographic surveys due to legal implications.
Often uses a combination of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Total Station techniques.
Provides a clear legal record of land boundaries.
Minimizes property disputes between landholders.
Facilitates efficient land revenue collection.
High cost and time consumption for large-scale rural updates.
Susceptible to errors if survey markers are removed or disturbed.
Land taxation (Revenue department).
Urban planning and city development.
Legal property registration.
Route survey is used for linear projects like roads and canals.
Construction survey involves setting out structures based on design plans.
Engineering survey is a broader term encompassing preliminary, location, and construction surveys.
A is correct тАФ Cadastral survey is specifically designated for defining property boundaries and maintaining ownership records for legal and fiscal purposes.
Remember that 'Cadastral' comes from the French 'cadastre' (register of property); whenever you see 'boundaries', 'taxes', or 'land records' in an exam, the answer is almost certainly Cadastral Survey.
