The Cadastral Survey: Its Making and Uses

Authors

  • Antonio Gauchía Hernández

Abstract

The paper begins with a run through of the history of cadastral surveing in Spain from the Nineteenth Century on, to then continue with a detailing description of the sophistications that have been used in drawing up the survey in course. The work, thanks to a through-going use of documental aids (tables, diagrams, and graphs) attempts to set out for the reader each and every step behind this ardous process that, once finished and through its synthetizing capacities, will give us the present cadastral returns. The great technological advances we now enjoy have revolutionized the old idea of what a cadastral survey should be but not as yet offered all that one could be, or so the author holds, envisaging a bright future for such endevours thanks to an informed use of graphic information systems and GPS which would allow for an aerial triangulation (trigonometrics?) that could be inmmediately available for working use.
