Abstract
This paper considers the regulation of three aspects of surveying profession namely, agency surveying, cadastral surveying, and valuation surveying in Kenya. The regulation boards are examined in the context of their enabling legislations. All the professions belong to one professional organisation, the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK), modelled in the like of self-regulation objectives of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). A review of the practice of professional regulations attempts to assess the level of state control in the regulation of these professions. Paper recommends injection of more self-regulatory culture in future.
期刊介绍:
Survey Review is an international journal that has been published since 1931, until recently under the auspices of the Commonwealth Association of Surveying and Land Economy (CASLE). The journal is now published for Survey Review Ltd and brings together research, theory and practice of positioning and measurement, engineering surveying, cadastre and land management, and spatial information management.
All papers are peer reviewed and are drawn from an international community, including government, private industry and academia. Survey Review is invaluable to practitioners, academics, researchers and students who are anxious to maintain their currency of knowledge in a rapidly developing field.
