Appendix 3: Ideas for the Definition of Surveying and their Sources Surveyors, best described in modern times as Geomatics Professionals, guarantee that abstract geospatial information matches the reality on the ground. By applying this guarantee to land and property rights, they underpin the foundation of all modern economies. The field of surveying/geomatics encompasses a broad spectrum of services and high-tech tools. Boundary surveying, Photogrammetry (both aerial and terrestrial) GIS, LiDAR (mobile, terrestrial and aerial), Topography, Hydrogeography, decision support, large scale metrology and modern measurement or imagery all fall within the theoretical foundation of the survey profession. Although not all of these aspects of surveying require a license, the professional surveying license provides those in the field with additional opportunity, higher salaries and a level of professional stature equivalent to the professional licenses of engineers and architects. The profession opens doors to use technology unavailable in other professions. Surveyors are licensed to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public and are proud to do so. (Source: Summary Report, January Forum, January 29, 2016) The surveying profession, also termed GIT or Geomatics is a high-tech, rapidly evolving field dedicated to geospatial accuracy built upon historic foundations. It is blending of disciplines involving math, science, geography and measurement that use the most cutting edge tools such as satellites, LiDAR and drone technology in invisible realms. The diverse work environments of a surveyor range from air, land and water to conventional and unconventional mobile office environments across the world. The field encompasses boundary, topographic, cadastral, hydrographic, engineering and construction surveying as well as photogrammetry, mapping, geodesy, GIS and many other areas. Surveying is exploration…the beginning and the end of every project…and a pathway to the future of making the word a better place.
