It is both technical and legal in nature. Real Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) method is the use of dual-frequency GNSS to obtain the position of an object/ entity in real time. Presently, this is widely used in the conduct of surveying tasks such as topographic surveys and stake-out activities in construction surveying. Its use in property survey is not a straightforward application and must consider different situations, problems and limitations. Factors to consider includes coordinate systems used in the country, concepts of common point, azimuths and distances, and limitations such as multipath and obstructions. Methodologies and tests include azimuth determination, survey under tree canopy and use for old and new surveys. The results of the experiments show that RTK-GNS...

Being quantities of different nature, a different approach is presented in this paper to represent their influence in value using regression analysis. A case study was conducted in Guiguinto, Bulacan, a first-class municipality in the Philippines, about 28 kilometers northwest from Manila. From a developer’s perspective, a regression algorithm which calculates for the counter-utility function value was formulated using the operational form of the Bid-Rent economic theory. These values were spatially represented using GIS, showing the utility assessment of Guiguinto for residential use.

Encoding and plotting were done using the original cadastral lots. However, cadastral data are regularly updated because of various processes and events. The most common events and processes that affect the change in spatial characteristics include a parcel’s subdivision or splitting, consolidation or merging, consolidation-subdivision and boundary adjustment. Monitoring and updating are done by two land agencies, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Land Registration Authority. These updates affect the spatial and attribute characteristics of the cadastral parcels. Ideally, the topological relationship and integrity of the affected cadastral parcels must be maintained as the changes happen. The objectives of the research are to determine and evaluate the factors affecting changes in the cadastral database, provide a protocol that updates the main ca...
