AbstractThe survey of “mailos” or native estates in the Kingdom of Buganda has taken a prominent place in the annual programme of the Survey Department of Uganda for over 30 years past. The survey, which has covered some 17,000 square miles and is now practically complete, has some unusual features, and although it has no claims to refinement or to great precision, a short account of its history and workings may be of general interest. The system of land settlement introduced by Sir Harry Johnston has already been described in the Empire Survey Review (“The Surveyor and the Politician”, by H. B. Thomas, vol. ii, p. 28). 相似文献

AbstractSo much for the system. Now to describe the method of survey. Between 1902 and 1906 a chain of triangulation, extending from Zanzibar by way of the southern border of what is now Kenya Colony, and the northern and western shores of Lake Victoria to the Belgian Congo, had been surveyed by Anglo-German Boundary Commissions under G. E. Smith and Delmé Radcliffe as leaders. In 1902 a base line was measured near the middle of the Buganda Province by officers of the Uganda Survey Department. This was connected by triangulation to the Anglo-German chain, and several new chains were run across Buganda of an order of accuracy generally classified as that of tertiary triangulation. These chains are now known as the Uganda Main Triangulation, and form the backbone of the Buganda Cadastral Survey, popularly known as the “mailo” survey. 相似文献

AbstractCrabs! Thousands of bright red crabs on a white foreshore; clinging black mud in tidal creeks with an overhanging tangle of tropical forest. These dominate one's memories of the Irrawaddy Delta in 1924. The Forest Department of Burma is the custodian of some 1,000 square miles of valuable forest reserves in the delta of this great river. The survey and production of “Forest” maps of this area was long overdue, postponed by reason of the immense expense and difficulty of a ground survey. Air survey, developed during the First World War, was ideally suited to this type of country but was still in its infancy, so that prolonged negotiations were necessary to persuade the Government of Burma to risk £25,000 on what appeared to them a doubtful proposition, as this was one of the first of the peace-time air surveys to be undertaken. Eventually, in July 1923 the contract was signed. Ronald Kemp, the first Chief Inspector of Civil Aircraft in India, gave up that post and formed an air survey company to carry out the photography as the first of his many survey contracts in India and Burma; I was in charge of the ground work and subsequent mapping. 相似文献

AbstractWhenever the Government wants to receive new students to be trained as surveyors for the Government Service it is usual for the public to be informed by means of a Gazette Notice outlining the conditions of entry into the Survey School which is attached to the Land and Survey Department. Nowadays students are admitted through the Government Higher College at Yaba by means of the Entrance Examination of that college. It is one of the conditions that before a candidate applies to take this Entrance Examination he must have passed his Cambridge School Certificate Examination, the Matriculation Examination of any British University, or its local equivalent, and must possess also a certificate of character. 相似文献

AbstractIn two papers on this subject (v, 34, 236, and vi, 40, 85) some difficulties were examined and missing evidence explored. Reference was made to the past existence of divers acres in the British Isles. In a lecture by Professor A. E. Snape, M.SC., on “Our Units of Measurement”, delivered at the University of Cape Town and printed in the South African Survey Journal (III, Part viii, 24, 340, 1930), some other units are considered and additional evidence adduced. For example, the Cheshire acre is given as 2.11 statute acres. 相似文献

AbstractAt the end of 1934 I visited Zanzibar at the invitation of the Government to advise on methods of cadastral survey and land registration suited to local conditions. Here I am only concerned with the former aspect of this problem. Although stated in general terms, it was in the tenure of the clove and, to a lesser extent, the coconut holdings that the need for these associated records had primarily appeared. My inquiry led to the submission of proposals for the direct use of vertical air photographs for a dual purpose cadastral survey of the Protectorate, which would not only satisfy the requirements of a Land Register, but also systematically furnish information of value to clove cultivation following earlier recommendations made by Professor R. S. Troup. Space does not permit of consideration of this associated objective here, but the possibilities which the method offers of providing concurrently an agricultural as well as a cadastral record is one of its claims to consideration. 相似文献

AbstractDuring the winter of 1952–53 I was engaged in the work of a large scale survey of a small area at the point where the Blue Nile or Great Abbai flows out of Lake Tana in Ethiopia for Messrs. J. Seymour Harris and Partners who were reporting to H.I.M. Government of Ethiopia on the suitability of the area as the site of a proposed new town. In view of the uncertainty attaching to the various heights attributed to the lake it was considered desirable to attempt a fresh determination, although this aspect had little priority in its claims on the time of the survey party. Although, in the outcome, all that was possible was a conventional reduction of a series of aneroid readings, the subject may possess some general interest. 相似文献

AbstractBecause of the failure to provide adequate registration facilities, the law as contained in the Registration of Titles Ordinance and in the earlier 1908 Ordinance has either not been complied with at all or not been fully complied with by the majority of Baganda who may have in equity (though not in law) some interest in mailo land, or who may be in occupation or taking rents and profits without even any equitable claim thereto. Before giving an account of this, and an account of what has happened at the Registry as a consequence, it would be advisable to state now what steps should have followed logically the signing of the Uganda Agreement. Essentially there are two consequential matters which Government should have attended to and which only Government was in a position to attend to. 相似文献

AbstractThe Dominion of Canada, with an area approximating that of Europe, is the largest and most populous of the great self-governing Dominions of the British Empire. Through the British North America Act, 1st July 1867, the Union of Upper and Lower Canada, with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, were united to form the Dominion, Upper and Lower Canada being designated as the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. An expansion was made possible on 19th November 1869 by the Deed of Surrender to the Crown of the Hudson's Bay Company's territorial, rights in the Northwest. On 12th May 1870 the Province of Manitoba was established, and on 15th July the Northwest Territories were transferred to the Dominion, and Manitoba was admitted into Confederation. Although the boundaries of Manitoba have since been enlarged and those of the Northwest Territories diminished through the creation in 1905 of the Provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, the control of the resources and public lands in the West remained under Dominion authority until the year 1930. By this brief statement we are enabled to understand the background of what has developed into the largest connected and systematic Public Lands Survey in any country, that of the Canadian Northwest; and this survey is unique in having been performed under one organization. 相似文献

AbstractOn the occasion of the Empire Survey Conference in 1931 we had the privilege of arranging at the Science Museum an Exhibition of Cadastral Maps and Land Records which had been somewhat hurriedly collected from the United Kingdom, the Dominions, India, eleven Colonies and Protectorates, three Mandated Territories and six foreign countries. As there is some vagueness in the application in English of the French word cadastre, it may be advisable before proceeding to say that while in Europe this word, with its German and Italian equivalents, originally applied to a record of landed property (biens fonds) compiled for fiscal purposes and is commonly still so defined in standard dictionaries, we have throughout used it in the wider sense it has gradually been assuming generally of any analogous record concerned with subdivisions of land occasioned by human use, whether the purpose to be primarily served is fiscal, juridical, economic or otherwise. Cadastral survey is the process by which the parcels of land dealt with are defined, and can be located again at need. The noun, which is rarely mentioned in English, was from the earliest days applied to the whole conspectus of the record: registers, maps, supporting documents, etc. We use the term land record loosely, and somewhat unsatisfactorily, in this comprehensive sense because the more convenient and exact one-cadastral record-has not so far found a place in British practice with its associates: cadastral maps and cadastral survey. 相似文献

AbstractIt is very many years since the Radial Line method was first used in America and England, and, so far from going out of favour, as was predicted by some European surveyors, it is now thriving in the Slotted Template form. The history of the method is an example of the Anglo-Saxon genius for persevering in a practical compromise. Had we been tempted by the voices of the photogrammetric Rhine Maidens to adopt theoretically exact methods to solve all problems, virtually no new mapping would have been carried out during World War II and many thousands of square miles of sparsely populated territory in the U.S.A. and British Commonwealth would still remain unmapped. A much greater mapped area is associated directly or indirectly with such names as Bagley and Hotine than with others more familiar at international conferences. 相似文献

AbstractIn the survey world of Northern Rhodesia the most notable event in 1931 (apart, of course, from the birth of this Review) has been the completion of the aerial survey contracts undertaken for the Government by the Aircraft Operating Company. The results have justified expectations particularly with regard to the mapping of 63,000 square miles of the Territory on a scale of 1/250,000. Used in conjunction with the information obtained by ground methods by the Mining Companies, who have kindly consented to put their information at our disposal, a really reliable detailed map of a considerable portion of the Territory should be obtained. The mosaics of the six principal townships are also proving of value and contain a wealth of detail which would be difficult to obtain so accurately by ground survey except at great expense. On the other hand it is obvious that it would be a costly business involving a very large amount of ground control to prepare a closely contoured plan such as is required for detail purposes in connection with township lay-outs. 相似文献

AbstractWhilst turning over some old papers the other day I came across a copy of the first Annual Report of the Colonial Survey Committee, and the recent, much regretted death of Sir Herbert Read reminded me of his services in the development of the surveys and explorations of British possessions in Africa, especially his suggestion, which was approved by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, of the formation of the Colonial Survey Committee, an Advisory Committee which was set up in August, 1905. This Committee advised the Secretary of State “in matters affecting the survey and exploration of British Colonies and Protectorates, more especially those in Tropical Africa”. 相似文献

AbstractFollowing a request from the Commission of Government of Newfoundland, the Canadian Government has consented to an arrangement whereby the Geodetic Survey of the Department of the Interior will assist the Island Government in laying down two main nets of triangulation as the basis for the survey development of Newfoundland. The completion of the final practical details was reached in Ottawa recently, and the work, it is expected, will extend over a period of five years. 相似文献

AbstractThe survey and mapping activities which took place in Palestine and Mesopotamia during the First World War need to be considered in their contexts, both of long-term British mapping activities in the region, and of survey and mapping generally during the First World War. Thus, while it is important to recognise the real technical advances in map-making which resulted from survey activities in the Near and Middle East during the First World War, it needs to be recognised that this was simply the culmination of nearly 80 years of British military mapping in the region. Each generation of surveyors used the most appropriate tools for the task in hand and the conditions under which the survey needed to be conducted. The First World War surveyors were fortunate that a new tool, aerial photography, had become available just prior to the war. 相似文献

The aim of this research is evaluation of land suitability for urban land‐use planning. Four factors and fourteen criteria were selected for suitability analysis and land‐use planning. Factors and criteria were defined based on literature survey, experts’ opinions, local contexts and availability of data. GIS‐based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used as a Multi‐criteria Decision Making model. The study was conducted on a selected area of Dhaka city, which is one of the fastest growing mega‐cities of the world. The research result shows that highly suitable area (13%) should be used for urban residential zone; moderately suitable area (35%) should be designated as mixed use zone; low suitable area (42%) should be reserved for agricultural use and open spaces; and not suitable area (10%) should be protected from any types of activities except agriculture. The research approached an urban land‐use planning at a regional scale. 相似文献

第二次土地调查的土地分类与已有的土地分类不同,在调查中对土地分类的判定方法有偏差就会在土地详查、土地利用更新调查中产生差异。因此,如何准确、合理地判定每块土地的分类,对全面查清土地利用状况,掌握真实的土地基础数据十分重要。本文在分析《第二次全国土地调查技术规程》的土地分类基础上,结合辽宁省实践提出了一些想法,为开展第二次土地调查进行地类调查提供参考。 相似文献

AbstractColonel C. G. Gordon, C.B., of the Royal Engineers, later known to the world as General Gordon, had already achieved the reputation of a man of action when, in 1874, he accepted service under the Khedive Ismail as Governor-General of the Equatorial Province of the Sudan. Envoys from Gordon visited Mutesa, the King of Buganda, in 1874 (Chaillé Long) and 1875 (E. Linant de Bellefonds), but not until nearly two years after his appointment was Gordon able to lead the final advance which was planned to carry the Egyptian flag to the shores of Lake Victoria. In January, 1876, he reached Mruli on the south side of the mouth of the Kafu river into the Nile, and here he established a fort and garrison while a force was sent forward under an Egyptian (Arab) officer, Nuehr Aga, to occupy posts as far south as the Ripon Falls. Gordon returned at once towards Dufile, where his presence was required, not intending again to visit the southern portion of his province. 相似文献
