IMPLEMENTING GPS FOR CADASTRAL SURVEYING
AND ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was designed and developed by the US Department of Defense (US DoD) primarily for navigation purposes giving positions in real time to around 5 – 20 cm accuracy (Roberts, 2005). On one hand, using GPS offer many advantages for surveying activities. On the other hand, GPS cannot be used in the specific area that has unclear sky view. The other problem, using GPS for cadastral surveying, is coordinate system. It is important to set a standard by providing the public and private agencies with uniformity to aid in communication and to limit confusion (Dalager, 2002).

Nowadays, cadastral surveying is facing big challenge. The main challenge is how can cadastral surveying provide the accurate data and up to date data. In Land Registration, the accuracy is the main point. Because the data are highly related with determine of law status and right title of the land. Londe (2002) stated that the adoption of high production GPS techniques is changing how large scale cadastral surveying are performed.

The objective of this research is to combine the different ways of using GPS for cadastral surveying and its implementation in accuracy. In particular, the research sets out :
1. Implementing Real Time Kinematics method for cadastral surveying.
2. Implementing another source of waves to improve Real Time Kinematics method.
3. Compare GPS Surveying with Total Station Surveying.
4. Network design management.

This research hopes to provide a good analytical consideration for using GPS in cadastral surveying. In the future, maybe it will be the recommendation to what extend that GPS can use for cadastral surveying.
