ROLE OF THE SURVEYOR CONFRONTED WITH THE PROBLEMS OF MEGALOPOLIS

SURVEYORS AND MAPPERS FACE MANY PROBLEMS IN A RAPIDLY GROWING COMMUNITY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND TIME TO PERFORM ALL OF THE NECESSARY SURVEYING AND MAPPING TASKS. THESE TASKS MAY BE SHARED IF A GROUP IS COMPOSED OF SURVEYORS AND MAPPERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MINIMIZING DUPLICATON OF WORK, ESTABLISHMENT OF STANDARD PROCEDURES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GOOD HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL CONTROL SURVEY SYSTEM THAT CAN BE USED BY ALL AGENCIES. SEVERAL LARGE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC MAPPING PROJECTS HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN JOINTLY WITH SOME OF THE CITIES, SPECIAL DISTRICTS, AND THE CALIFORNIA DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS. /AUTHOR/
