Leveraging Technology to Move Beyond Boundaries (10603)

To begin with our 1st America’s Young Surveyors Meeting, join our keynote speakers with their presentations about the important role technology plays in solving key issues within the Survey Community.

Updates from regional networks

Let’s take an opportunity to hear from colleagues from the Americas and other places to see the kinds of interesting activities that young surveyors are doing.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (10604)

Six different cultural backgrounds but one passion in common: Survey. Join these Young Surveyors on their path of becoming professionals, their work and personal experiences, boundaries & challenges they have encountered, and how they managed to overcome them and where it got them to be.

Charity Event (Sponsored by Trimble)

BINGO! The proceeds from the Charity event will go to the FIG YSN’s Volunteer Community Surveyor Program, and the FIG Foundation. This year’s Charity Event is sponsored by Trimble Inc.! Let’s gather and have some fun playing the classic game of BINGO!

Commission: 5, 6 & Standards Network
Chair: Dr. Mohamed Mostafa, Trimble Applanix, Canada
Rapporteur: Mr. Ryan Keenan, Chair FIG Commission 5, Australia

FIG would like to create a Standard for Surveying by Drones. This, and a second session will investigate the scope of this standards initiative. There are three key considerations. First technical details such as site and mission planning, data acquisition and processing, and map production must be considered. Second, operational best practices for surveying by drones such as payload and sensor choice for different applications, georeferencing of imaging sensors, data processing and map production best practices should be identified. The third key component is outreach and communication. The standard itself could take one of at least three possible forms: a FIG publication, a consortium of interested parties producing an ad-hoc standard, or an ISO standard. This first session will introduce the subject: Surveying by Drones - Theory, Practice, and Standards. A second session is organised around a panel discussion with experts.

TS01J: OPEN DATA INITIATIVES AND PERSPECTIVES IN SIM [10589]
Commission: 3
Chair: Prof. Yerach Doytsher, Israel
Rapporteur: Prof. Pietro Grimaldi, Italy

Cities and people - mainly those who live in developing countries - are increasingly looking for ways to innovate to make their cities more livable. Among the strategies that are becoming ever common is the sharing of anonymized open data and leveraging open-source software as low-cost alternatives in contributing to increased economic development, as well as resilience in planning and service provision. While there have been various efforts in leveraging open data, this has largely been on experimental basis in the developing economies and mainly in the land administration sector only. This technical session will focus on open data initiatives, open-source software and community-based initiatives and contributions within SIM to address urbanization problems.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• Open data and SDG - what else is required?
• Is open data open?
• Future trends in providing and using open data?

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVATION

Join us for the time-honored tradition of Memorial Day and the celebration for those who gave their lives while in military service. The National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) welcomes all Working Week participants to witness a short program featuring a military honor guard and proclamations by NSPS leadership.

Memorial Day honors America’s military men and women who lost their lives in service to their country.

The holiday is observed on the last Monday of May, a time of year when weather is turning warmer, and schools and universities are adjourning for summer break. To Americans, Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer. But at its heart, Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day when Americans reflect on the sacrifice of those who have given their lives in military service.

TS02B: ENHANCING WOMEN’S ACCESS (TO LAND AND SURVEYING) - 1 [10528]
Commission: 1, 7 & TF on SDG
Chair: Ms. Kate Fairlie, Australia
Rapporteur: Ms. Claire Buxton, Canada

In 2001, FIG published the FIG Guidelines on the Principles for Equitable Gender Inclusion in Land Administration (FIG Publication 24). In this publication, FIG contributed to the global push to recognise the importance women’s land rights and land access for social justice, economic sustainability, and environmental protection. In the two decades since, efforts have continued by NGOs, CSOs, national governments, development partners and multilaterals. In particular, the Stand for Her Land (S4HL) campaign was established to close the implementation gap for women’s land rights, with support from a global steering committee including GLTN, Habitat for Humanity, Huairou Commission, International Land Coalition, Landesa, Rights and Resources Initiative and the World Bank.

This session updates on the latest developments and current practice of surveyors in promoting and mainstreaming the land rights of women, drawing also on efforts to promote indigenous land rights and rights of the urban poor.

Attendees are asked to consider: what is the role of surveyors alongside other actors in achieving women’s land rights? What should FIG seek to achieve in this Commission 7 Working Group, in collaboration with Commission 1 and the Task Force on the SDGs.

Commission: 5, 6 & Standards Network
Chair: Dr. Mohamed Mostafa, Trimble Applanix, Canada
Rapporteur: Mr. David Martin, Chair FIG Standard Network, France

FIG would like to create a Standard for Surveying by Drones. This, is the second session investigating the scope of this standards initiative. There are three key considerations. First technical details such as site and mission planning, data acquisition and processing, and map production must be considered. Second, operational best practices for surveying by drones such as payload and sensor choice for different applications, georeferencing of imaging sensors, data processing and map production best practices should be identified. The third key component is outreach and communication. The standard itself could take one of at least three possible forms: a FIG publication, a consortium of interested parties producing an ad-hoc standard, or an ISO standard. This first session introduced the subject: Surveying by Drones - Theory, Practice, and Standards. This second session is a panel discussion with experts.

TS04B: FIG PLATINUM MEMBER SESSION -TRIMBLE


Enabling Geospatial Professionals to Conquer New Frontiers

Speakers: Stephanie Michaud and Anna Jarvis

As a market leader and technology innovator in the geospatial industry, Trimble Inc realizes it takes more than just a cool new product to transform the way the world works and create lasting change. It takes investment in the people who are leading and driving that change, and supporting the way they want to work with entirely new disruptive solutions.

Democratization of positioning solutions has been a persistent goal within the Trimble Survey and Mapping sector, especially for addressing Land Administration needs of mapping cadastre and people’s relationship to the land, all while maintaining data integrity and quality. Over the past year, several localized pilots have been launched in select markets worldwide (India, Brazil, and South Africa) to test the validity of a low cost, software based GNSS solution, paired with attribute rich survey software. In this session, we are excited to share the results and lessons learned while deploying these pilots.

As the cost of commercially available imaging sensors (LiDARs, cameras, etc.) continues to decrease, so has the cost of mobile mapping systems that use them, meaning there is more geospatial data available than ever which can be harnessed to make faster, safer, and greener decisions. Applications range from real-time detection of foreign objects on runways (FOD), high accuracy mapping for telecommunication companies planning locations for new fiber-optic cables, or contributing to real-time efficiency in a railyard.

Accuracy of the geospatial data and its collection efficiency are of utmost importance, and without the proper tools challenges can arise, especially in dense urban environments. The hardware and software solutions from Trimble Applanix provide the highest accuracy positioning and orientation measurements for mobile georeferencing in all environments, whether mapping from an aircraft, a UAV, land vehicle, or a ship.

Join the Trimble and Applanix teams as we share the many ways in which we are protecting our world, while simultaneously striving to enable geospatial professionals to conquer new frontiers.

TS04H: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE SURVEYING PROFESSION
Commission: TF on diversity/inclusion
Chair: Mr. Stephen Djaba, Chair TF on Diversity & Inclusion, Ghana

Generational sustainability is an important aspect of The Surveyor's Profession: Evolutionary Diversity task force. The task force aims to promote diversity and inclusion within the surveying profession, not only in terms of race, gender, and ethnicity, but also in terms of age and generational diversity, including Gen X, Y, and Z. This is important because it ensures that the surveying profession is sustainable and can continue to thrive in the long term.

To achieve this goal, the task force can focus on a number of initiatives, such as promoting mentorship and knowledge transfer between different generations of surveyors, from Gen X to Gen Y, and Z. They can also work to address issues related to age discrimination and ensure that older surveyors are not excluded from opportunities for professional development or advancement.

Additionally, the task force can work to attract Gen Y, Z and Gen Alpha to the profession by highlighting the exciting and innovative technologies and tools used in surveying and by emphasizing the importance of sustainability and environmental stewardship in the field. This can help to ensure that the surveying profession continues to evolve and adapt to changing needs and technologies, while also remaining diverse and inclusive across all generations.

FIG CINEMA


11:30-12:45: THE FOUNDATION OF GEOMATICS

Episode 1: Presentation of the historical context and of Delambre & Méchain
by Michel Kasser (Switzerland), Geographic Engineer and University Professor, Honorary President of the Association francophone de topographie (AFT) and President of the Ingénieurs Géomètres de Suisse Occidentale (IGSO)
In the midst of a political and scientific revolution in France at the end of the 18th century, how did the Académie des Sciences choose Delambre and Méchain? Why the choice of the meridian? Why the name "meter"?

Episode 2: The story of the Delambre & Méchain expedition from Dunkirk to Barcelona
by Bernard Flacelière (France), Vice-president of the Association francophone de topographie (AFT), editor-in-chief of the journal XYZ
On June 25, 1792, two astronomers, Jean-Baptiste Delambre and Pierre Méchain, left Paris. They were charged with measuring the length of the meridian between Dunkirk and Barcelona in order to establish a universal standard of measurement.

Episode 3: From the digital chain to the dynamic chain
by SAS Géofoncier
The reconstruction of the chain of triangles measured by Delambre and Méchain and dynamic presentation in the Géofoncier.fr portal. A tour of the chain and a pictorial and commented discovery of some remarkable or symbolic points.

Episode 4: Meridian of Delambre and Méchain: Principle, measurements, calculations and precisions
by Françoise Duquenne (France), Engineer Geographer, President of the Association francophone de topographie (AFT)
What methods, calculations and instruments were used? What was the quality of the data obtained?

Episode 5: After the measurement: past and present resistance to the metric system
by Bertrand Juompan (France), Surveyor
The introduction of the new units, which sometimes overturned centuries-old habits, came up against cultural as well as political and economic obstacles. Today, despite the unification of systems of weights and measures, some singularities remain in certain countries or fields of activity.

TS07C: FINDING THE PRICE OF LAND – A CASE OF REGISTRATION AND GOOD DATA [10609]
Commission: 3 & 9
Chair: Dr. Enrico Rispoli, Italy
Rapporteur: Dr. Felician Komu, Tanzania, United Republic of

The price of land and real estate depends not only on supply and demand – risk related to unclear information also has an influence. For example, knowing for certain whether the seller is really the landowner, or where exactly the piece of land begins and ends promotes high risk, and hence influence the price. Reducing such risks by diminishing uncertainties should encourage the buyer to pay more. “Purchase risks” are therefore dead capital for the owner.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• What are the ways to minimize the risks associated with purchases of real estate?
• Is it true that good registration of real estate property has a price effect?
• What approaches exist for the valuation of unregistered land?
• Is it possible to measure risk effects when SDG measures have been taken for land?

TS07G: LAND ADMINISTRATION EDUCATION [10568]
Commission: 2, 7 & GLTN
Chair: Dr. Dimo Todorovski, Chair FIG Commission 2, Netherlands
Rapporteur: Prof. Fernandez-Gomez Wilmar, Colombia

Land Administration education is at the cross-roads. In more developed contexts, renewal is needed, as associations struggle to attract and train professionals. In emerging contexts, the challenge is lack of available resources and staff to do the training. One challenge is that education and training pathways vary greatly across countries. There is high fragmentation. This means less visibility for school leavers. This session looks at these issues in more depth, uncovering opportunities and challenges.
Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• How are education and R&D working together?
• What is the experience with regional education networks?
• How can awareness and uptake in courses be improved?

TS08B: FIG AFRICA CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT NETWORK - MEETING
Chair: Mr. Mohammed Mamman Kabir, Chair ARN, Nigeria


The International Federation of Surveyors-Africa Regional Network (FIG-ARN) is a Regional Capacity Development Network of the FIG that is saddled with the responsibility of developing the capacity of African surveyors. It works to raise the visibility and profile of its members and to articulate the interest of Africa within the overall vision and mission of FIG. In line with the theme of the 2023 Working Week, the FIG-ARN session will outline the critical roles African surveyors should play in protecting Africa and conquering new frontiers in the content. No doubt Africa needs protection the most. Africa, the second largest continent in the world with a population of more than 1.3 billion people remains most challenging, least mapped and least charted. The session will therefore unbundle opportunities offered in the FIG-ARN 2023-2026 Work plan in our collective drive towards Protecting Our World, Conquering New Frontiers. [handouts]

To achieve a world in which everyone enjoys secure land rights in inclusive living spaces and improved livelihoods, understanding the current state of urban-rural land governance is essential. This special session identifies and highlights ideas necessary for grasping spatial development problems from an urban-rural land linkages perspective.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• What do we already know about urban-rural land linkages?
• How can rural areas benefit from urban-rural land linkages?
• Are there revitalisation or restoration opportunities in the urban-rural land linkages?
