definitions . In general , three parts of Applied Geodesy are distinguished : 1 . Engineering Geodesy , 2 . Natural-scientific aspect of geodesy application , 3 . Other ( non-engineering and natural-scientific ) applications of geodesy .
It is seen that this covers the realization of the versatile application of geodesy without violating the already established division and application . At the same time the first two parts include mass applications in the respective areas of knowledge and practice and the third part includes , in principle , special applications and fields not falling within the scope of the first ones { cf . also 01.3.2 of [ 6 ]}, with more specific characteristic requirements for Applied Geodesy and related areas , such as :
• Military affairs ;
• Economy branches – related to application in the Cadastre , real estate appraisals , agriculture and forestry , environment , etc .;
• Hydrography – related to water basins : oceans , seas , lakes , river and other water sources and systems ;
• Specific applications – meteorology , navigation , broadcasting , urban noise-protection systems and studies , etc .;
• Unique and typical separate objects and activities ( colliders-accelerators , missiles , medicine , etc .). It has been already noted in [ 5 ] that the collection , processing and presentation of information from the mentioned and other areas in the form of information systems [ 5 ], [ 7 ] are very closely related with the indicated activities . It has been also emphasized that there is certain conditionality and in the division of the presented areas a sharp boundary cannot and should not be set and it is either not necessary . There are activities and decisions that according to certain indicators may be referred to one or another direction . Methods and technologies from the Natural-scientific aspect are applied effectively and extremely successfully in the Engineering area , for example the Global Navigation Satellite Systems – GNSS and others .
Engineering Geodesy is the most comprehensively developed , widely used and with enormous reference literature of all the three aspects of Applied Geodesy .
In this way , on the basis of professional experience , there is a possibility for sufficiently systematic , detailed and differentiated exposition of the individual aspects of the Applied and respectively of the specific mass activity in the Engineering Geodesy . On the one hand , there is a systematization of the scope , structure and activities in Engineering Geodesy , in our case in three main books : Book 1 . Basics , systems and technologies in Engineering Surveying [ 6 ]; Book 2 . Design and implementation of physical and general plans [ 7 ]; Books : 3 ( 3.1 ), 3 ( 3.2 ), 3 ( 3.3 ). Construction of linear objects , buildings , facilities and installation of technological equipment . Plans of the built complex objects – individual objects and the facilities along them [ 5 ]. On the other hand , the exposition covers only the problems representing a direct object of Engineering Geodesy . So , figuratively speaking , the attempt “ of an adult to put on his child ’ s clothes ” is avoided .
Analysing the realized exposition with a scope , structure and content of the Engineering Geodesy it may be established that it is also subordinated to certain principles , logic and connections , directly related to those of construction , architecture and spatial planning , for example mainly adherence to the principle “ from the general to the particular ”. Moreover , it is implied here that the general solution of the objects , especially those with complex spatial solutions , is realized directly on the basis of a numerical 3D model composed in cooperation between architects , designers and surveyors . In addition , the surveyors provide first of all the axes , levels , coordinates and the designed and realized geometry ( for this and other reasons they are also known as “ geometers ”), ensure also control in the course of construction , installation and study of deformations and , which is very important – initial and
