Such mistaken belief often arises from flaws in title or errors in identifying land parcels or boundaries. These errors create a different problem from ‘encroachment’ where a substantial building or structure straddles a land boundary and is thus only partly on the wrong land. A surveyor is often the first professional person to confirm that a mistake has occurred and may be well placed to assist in resolving the problem satisfactorily.","PeriodicalId":222452,"journal":{"name":"The Australian Surveyor","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123537855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is designed simply to measure the mean resistivity of the ground in any locality. It might be thought that the problem could be approached by driving two iron stakes into the ground, applying a difference of potential to them and measuring the current that passes. Certainly, the resistance of something is measured in this way, but most of it is found to arise from the contact of the iron stakes with the ground. Hence, this procedure was long ago abandoned, and a more elaborate technique developed.","PeriodicalId":222452,"journal":{"name":"The Australian Surveyor","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123220751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For many surveyors however, the limitation imposed on the system when operating in areas with partial or complete obscuration of the sky, is a significant disadvantage to its reliability and practical use. With the trend here in Australia towards developing regional GPS base station networks, the next generation of surveying technology will definitely be based around satellite positioning systems. With plans underway for the development of a European satellite system that is independent of GPS but compatible with it, it is expected that by the year 2008 all elements of system integrity and positioning reliability will be met.
