Cadastral Survey Project CADASTRALSURVEY LAND AND ITS DEFINITION Land is a word whose meaning has remained elusive to this day and varies according to each individual, according to his way of life. While it is lifeblood and sacred for some, it is an economic opportunity for development for others, but the emotional attachment one has to the land is the one which remains in life and even after that. Lands, territories and resources have particular cultural and spiritual significance and value for indigenous people who live there, they are the very basis for the continued existence of their societies in every part of the world. The United Nations Ad Hoc group of Experts on Cadastral Surveying and Land Information states that “Land is defined as an area of the surface of the earth together with the water, soil, rocks, minerals and hydrocarbons beneath or upon it and the air above it. It embraces all things which are related to a fixed area or point of the surface of the each, including the areas covered by water, including the sea”. • At the dawn of civilization in the history of mankind, people started to realize the value of agriculture and livestock rearing, people needed land and water for irrigation land as a resource therefore a boundary to establish ownership and safeguard land against occupation from others was inevitable and an absolute necessity. 1 • This gave birth to early surveys for establishing boundaries, classification of land for farming, grazing, habitat, recreation, economic pursuit, and social activity. This was a reason for advance of societies which later grew into kingdoms and monarchies which had always had land as the crux to expand their boundaries across the world. • The large tracts of land utilized by the societies needed efficient administration and departments to specially oversee distribution of land and upkeep of records to guarantee ownership and enjoyment of land parcels to the rightful owners, thereby a system to generate revenue from the land in the way of taxes originated and this in a way was an early cadastral system of which underwent innumerable changes which has stood the test of time. The sense of ownership of even a small piece of land is so immense that people would go any length to protect it with all their might. A china resident refusing to vacate his house which is located middle of the highways. CADASTRAL SURVEY (MEANING) The word ‘cadastral’ is the adjective of the word ‘Cadastral’ which means a public records of the extent, value and ownership of land for purposes of taxation. This type of survey involves the preparation of Village maps showing the boundaries of groups of holdings, large scale plans of survey filed showing the boundaries of each 2 holding, topographical details and all measurement and reputed ownership of each holding. This survey is repeated from time to time when changes occur in occupation and in the boundaries of fields particularly when such changes area too numerous to be dealt with the ordinary revenue staff. SURVEY–DIVISION OF POWERS BETWEEN STATE AND CENTRE Survey of India, the geological, potential, zoological and Anthropological survey of India now fall within entry 68 of the union list in the seventh schedule the to the constitution. These surveys have nothing to be with the State Government. The maintenance of land record, survey for revenue purposes and records – of – rights fall within the Scope of entry 45 of the State list in the seventh schedule to the constitution. The State government is therefore not concerned with any survey other than the survey for revenue purposes, and to maintain land recordsin which the ownership of the land and the extent thereof are mentioned. CADASTRAL SURVEY - HISTORY • It is believed that the river Nile in Ancient Egypt was the cradle of modern civilization. It is where agriculture and farming thrived and a system for measuring, classification and taxing the land evolved. • The need for surveying was a consequence of the civilized society in Ancient Egypt of particular interest are the cardinally orientated buildings, namely the temples and the pyramids (tombs), that required a great deal of careful measurement to obtain the orientation required. 3 • The river Nile of used to flood the lands nearby every year which resulted in large scale changes to the coastal lines and contours of the land. So after every season of flooding a land survey was carried out to re-establish boundaries and to determine. Surveyors also provided information for construction work. The main aspects of surveying that were carried out were strikingly similar to that is carried out today. The duties of the surveyor in Ancient Egypt covered a number of aspects, including boundary definition and in building construction. Early map of land holding in Mesopotamia 4 HISTORY OF CADASTRAL SURVEY IN INDIA Land and the Vedas: In early literature, there are descriptions of land in Stala Puranas. These puranas describe natural sacred places consisting of geographical features that are revered and are almost always associated with oral narratives about the location. The shared meanings and communicated oral histories of these natural-scapes draw attention to the deep connection of nature with the concept of earth or land (also called bhumi). • In the Vedic literature of over 5000 years ago, the knowledge of land was presented in a graphical form which described the extent and shape of territories. • The Brahmand Purana of 500 B.C. to 700 A.D. gives evidence of the art of modern map-making. • Individual holdings were called Shetras with clear boundaries. The revenue collected was one sixth of total produce. Documents related to ownership and tax were Farming and cattle rearing were the main occupation of people in the vedic times. Rules on land and scales to be used are detailed in the vedas. A manual on classification of land and taxation is highlighted. The art of surveying and techniques of mensuration of areas are described in Sulva Sutra (science of mensuration) 5 THE INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION • The Indus Valley Civilization was an ancient civilization located in what is Pakistan and northwest India today, on the fertile flood plain of the Indus River and its vicinity. Cities and town were well planned after carrying out very detailed survey of land. Land administration and taxing system prevalent was as good as modern days.Farming settlements began around 4000 BCE and around 3000 BCE there appeared the first signs of urbanization. By 2600 BCE, dozens of towns and cities had been established, and between 2500 and 2000 BCE the Indus Valley Civilization was at its peak. 6 • Indus valley boasted of well-planned township underground drainage system and a robust land administration lead by survey techniques to demarcate boundaries and ownership of land holdings. • The Indian subcontinent has since had many kingdoms which rose, merged and disintegrated from time to time. The chief of these were the Mauryan dynasty which was established by Chandragupta in 320 B.C • ArthShastra of Chanakya written in the 3rd century B.C clearly explains the rules of Land administration. A clear procedure to measure land, determine taxes and ownership of land parcels laid down in the literature sheds light on survey practices prevalent then. • Only surveying could have ensured a better design infrastructure the Taxishila University of Mauryan Empire where surveying was one of the subjects that were taught. 7 CADASTRAL SURVEY IN SOUTHERN INDIA • Tamil nadu has witnessed accurate and systematic surveys of land holdings of the kingdoms from very ancient times. • There is authentic epi-graphical evidence which reveals that “land as small in extent as 1/ 52428800000 of a veli was measured and assessed to revenue “ in ancient Tamil Nadu . • There is also evidence about a very systematic survey of the vast chola country in 1002A.D., Under the imperial orders of RajaRaja the great ,the founder of the chola Empire was carried out . • The earliest available record of a cadastral survey in the whole of India ,is that of this celebrated survey .As in many other fields ,Tamil Nadu appears to have led the way in the field of surveys ,too .It may also be mentioned here that it must not be taken that the celebrated survey in 1002 A.D., was the earliest survey in the Tamil country . 8 Systematic survey of a vast area was undertaken by King Rajaraja ,that a very great accuracy was achieved in the survey operations and that there were in popular use standardized technical terms relating to the survey operations ,lead to the obvious inference that land surveys should have been conducted in the Tamil country from times much earlier to his period (985-1014 A.D). • King Karikalacholan overseeing the construction of kalannai architectural and engineering marvel shedding light that a very sophisticated survey team should have worked on location, soil test and planning irrigation resources, • Many temples in Tamil Nadu are also repositories of information on an interesting subject — the measuring rods that were used for calculating the area of agricultural land, the length of roads or irrigation canals; the measures used in trade and the weights that were in vogue at that time. 9 • Two short, little noticed inscriptions, one with a short straight line and another with a long line incised next to them, at Sri Varadaraja Perumal temple at Kanchipuram, provide information on the measuring system that prevailed several centuries ago in the Tamil country • Since the temple’s economy depended on its land holdings, an accurate land survey was periodically made for taxation and the length of the standard measuring pole was inscribed on the temple wall. 10 This measuring rod, about 18 or 20 ft in length, was used throughout the kingdom.

    TENNESSEE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Forensic Services Division Firearms/Toolmarks Standard Operating Procedures Manual Barrel and Overall Length Measuring Procedure 7.0 BARREL AND OVERALL LENGTH MEASURING PROCEDURE 7.1 Scope: One of the routine procedures conducted in a firearm examination is determining the barrel length and overall length of the firearm. 7.2 Precautions/Limitations: Accuracy is imperative to this examination. It is vitally important that the firearm examiner use calibrated measuring devices, or instruments checked against calibrated measuring devices. These measuring devices will be checked against a NIST traceable ruler prior to being placed into service. Also, care shall be taken if any object is placed down the barrel to help expedite the barrel length measurement. Only a non-marring item should be placed down the barrel. Test firing of the firearm should be performed prior to placing any item down the barrel if possible. TCA Section 39-17-1301 defines a short-barreled rifle and shotgun as having a barrel length of less than sixteen inches (16") for a rifle and eighteen inches (18") for a shotgun, or an overall firearm length of less than twenty-six inches (26"). TCA Section 39-17-1302 classifies those as prohibited weapons.

Jodhpur-NH73 INDIA ABSTRACT: Surveying is the branch of civil engineering which deals with measurement of relative positions of an object on earth’s surface by measuring the horizontal distances, elevations, directions, and angles. Surveying is typically used to locate and measure property lines; to lay out buildings, bridges, channels, highways, sewers, and pipelines for construction; to locate stations for launching and tracking satellites; and to obtain topographic information for mapping and charting. It is generally classified into two categories: Plane surveying (for smaller areas) and Geodetic surveying (for very large areas). Surveying is the art of making suitable measurements in horizontal or vertical planes. This is one of the important subjects of civil engineering. Without taking a survey of the plot where the construction is to be carried out, the work cannot begin. Dalhousie provides all type of location in a platform . Key Words : 1.Surveying

Founded in 1906 by innovative young engineer, Frank Moore, Moore & Wright has been designing, manufacturing and supplying precision measuring equipment to global industry for over 100 years. With roots fixed firmly in Sheffield, England, the company began by manufacturing a range of calipers, screwdrivers, punches and other engineer’s tools. Following investment from Mrs Wright, a shrewd Sheffield businesswoman, Frank was able to expand the business and further develop his innovative designs. By the mid-nineteen twenties, thanks to the company’s enviable reputation, Moore & Wright was approached by the UK Government to consider manufacturing a range of quality micrometers. It was in this field that Moore & Wright’s status as UK agent for the Swiss Avia range of products and subsequent acquisition of the Avia brand and manufacturing rights, proved invaluable.

  • Procedure for Adult Height
    NIHR Southampton Biomedical Research Centre The NIHR Southampton Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has a tight quality assurance system for the writing, reviewing and updating of Standard Operating Procedures. As such, version-controlled and QA authorised Standard Operating Procedures are internal to the BRC. The Standard Operating Procedure from which information in this document has been extracted, is a version controlled document, managed within a Quality Management System. However, extracts that document the technical aspects can be made more widely available. Standard Operating Procedures are more than a set of detailed instructions; they also provide a necessary record of their origination, amendment and usage within the setting in which they are used. They are an important component of any Quality Assurance Framework, but in themselves are insufficient and need to be used and interpreted with care. Alongside the extracts from our Standard Operating Procedures, we have also made available here an example Standard Operating Procedure and a word version of a Standard Operating Procedure template. Using the example and the Standard Operating Procedure template, institutions can generate their own Standard Operating Procedures and customise them, in line with their own institutions. Simply offering a list of instructions to follow does not assure that the user is able to generate a value that is either accurate or precise so here in the BRC we require that Standard Operating Procedures are accompanied by face-to-face training. This is provided by someone with a qualification in the area or by someone with extensive experience in making the measurements. Training is followed by a short competency assessment and performance is monitored and maintained using annual refresher sessions.

Kaufmann1 and E. George Robison2,3 In the broad sense, physical habitat in streams includes all those physical attributes that influence or provide sustenance to organisms within the stream. Stream physical habitat varies naturally, as do biological characteristics; thus, expectations differ even in the absence of anthropogenic disturbance. Within a given physiographic-climatic region, stream drainage area and overall stream gradient are likely to be strong natural determi- nants of many aspects of stream habitat, because of their influence on discharge, flood stage, and stream power (the product of discharge times gradient). Summarizing the habitat results of a workshop conducted by EMAP on stream monitoring design, Kaufmann (1993) identified seven general physical habitat attributes important in influencing stream ecology: ! Channel Dimensions ! Channel Gradient ! Channel Substrate Size and Type ! Habitat Complexity and Cover ! Riparian Vegetation Cover and Structure ! Anthropogenic Alterations ! Channel-Riparian Interaction All of these attributes may be directly or indirectly altered by anthropogenic activities.

  • 2.3. DEVELOPMENT of DESIGN 2.3.1. Surveying Surveying Is The
    2.3. DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN 2.3.1. Surveying Surveying is the technique and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or 3D space position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually, but not exclusively, associated with positions on the surface of the Earth, and are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes. In order to accomplish their objective, surveyors use elements of geometry of engineering, mathematics, physics, and law. Surveying has been an essential element in the development of the human environment since the beginning of recorded history (ca. 5000 years ago) and it is a requirement in the planning and execution of nearly every form of construction. Its most familiar modern uses are in the fields of transport, building and construction, communications, mapping, and the definition of legal boundaries for land ownership. Method Historically, angles and distances were measured using a variety of means, such as chains with links of a known length, for instance a Gunter's Chain, or measuring tapes made of steel or invar. In order to measure horizontal distances, these chains or tapes would be pulled taut, to reduce sagging and slack. Additionally, attempts to hold the measuring instrument level would be made. In instances of measuring up a slope, the surveyor might have to "break" the measurement- that is, raise the rear part of the tape upward, plumb from where the last measurement ended. Historically, horizontal angles were measured using a compass, which would provide a magnetic bearing, from which deflections could be measured.

    DETERMINING SLOPE 3NOTES OBJECTIVES The purpose of this chapter is to: • Measure slope. • Calculate percent slope. • Understand the different locations that slope may be measured from. Slope What is slope? Slope is the change in elevation, measured in consistent units, from one point to another. Why would slope be a factor in evaluating a site for an onlot sewage disposal system? DRevisedETERMINING 5/12 SLOPE 3-1 How To Measure Slope Slope must be measured perpendicular to the contours of the land. Contours are lines of equal NOTES elevation. There are two ways to measure slope: 1) By taking field measurements and dividing the vertical distance by the horizontal distance (rise ÷ run), and then multiplying by 100 for percent slope. 2) By measuring the angle with an instrument. 3-2 DETERMINING SLOPE 1) VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL DISTANCES Slope can be calculated by using the rise over run method of dividing the vertical distance by NOTES the horizontal distance.
