Surveyors and land reform in Latvia

Eglitis, Mintauts & Balodis, Janis

With abstracts in English, German and French.

In connection with the Land Reform, Latvia is confronted at present with a lot of work in the field of land surveying and cadastre. To ensure land register and land management there is great need for development of a Geodetic Reference Network, updated maps, workable land information systems and up-to-date geodetic equipment, such as GPS, total instruments etc. Specialists have to be trained to be able to work along modern lines. Many difficulties are to be encountered, many a thing is lacking since everything is in its inceptional stage.
