Abstract:
Due to increasing use of land surveying practices along with technology advancements, a
necessity for appropriate tools for task accomplishment has been occurred. A computer
application program has been developed to make land surveying applications into a single
user-friendly desktop operation to reduce the complexity of the surveying work. In the
developed software (SCAD2006) the processing in outline and by the nature of snapshot
provides a static view of activities. SCAD2006 acts as a bridge between raw data and
digital maps because it provides required tools for digitalization. It benefits professional
land surveyors in developing countries for efficient completion of mapping tasks. The pilot
study revealed that 52% of Sri Lankan land surveyors are currently using this software,
which indicates the practicability of it within a short period of time.
