maamõõtmisi

Maamõõtmisi, also known as land surveying, is the practice of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. This is typically done using specialized equipment and techniques to establish land boundaries, create maps, and record property information. The history of maamõõtmisi dates back to ancient civilizations, where it was crucial for land allocation, taxation, and construction projects.

Modern maamõõtmisi relies on advanced technologies such as GPS (Global Positioning System), total stations, and laser scanners. These tools allow surveyors to achieve high levels of accuracy and efficiency. The primary goals of land surveying include defining property lines, preparing topographic maps for engineering and construction, monitoring land deformation, and assisting in legal disputes related to land ownership.

In Estonia, maamõõtmisi is a regulated profession, and land surveyors must be qualified and registered. The Cadastral Survey is a key aspect of maamõõtmisi, which involves the systematic measurement and recording of land parcels for official land registration purposes. This process ensures the legal certainty of land ownership and facilitates efficient land management. Maamõõtmisi plays a vital role in urban planning, infrastructure development, and environmental management, providing the foundational data for informed decision-making.
