The analysis of application of geo-referenced technologies in cadastral measurements

Abstract

The research has revealed that the land-surveyors prepare about 10 cadastral files in a month on the average. About 50-80 percent of all prepared cadastral files are delivered from the very first time. Universal instruments and software are used while compounding topographical land pictures. Usually GPS devices “Trimble” and software package “GeopMap 2017” are used for making drawings of cadastral measurements. The most important factor for purchasing new geodesic devices and software is the price. According to the respondents, the level of geo-referenced technologies in the country is adequate and innovations in the sphere of cadastral measurement should be financially promoted from the State budget. The cadastral measurements of land plots are performed according to the documents of territory planning, the resolutions of Government of the Republic of Lithuania that regulate the data collection of Government Real Property Cadastre of the Republic of Lithuania. However, not always measured land plot borders match defined borders indicated in the documents of territory planning and factual land usage [1]. In the developing countries the advanced technologies for land measurements are used more and more often in order to optimize expenditures and assure the precision of land measurements. Therefore, innovative attitude towards land measurements and application of advanced technologies become relevant. The application of innovations in land measurements ensures the decrease in the expenditures and consumed time as well as the increase in the efficiency of activities [2]. The primary data has a great impact on cadastral measurements. Geo-data that is necessary for land planning ought to be reliable, accurate enough and detailed as well as constantly renewable and available. The aim of this study is to analyse and evaluate the application of geo-referenced technologies in cadastral measurements in Lithuania. The method of expert questionnaire and descriptive statistical analysis using MS EXCEL programme package have been used to collect and evaluate the data of this research. The set of questionnaire for this research is 50 respondents. The specialists of their own spheres that took part in this research were the land-surveyors of Kaunas region.
