Excerpt: Real estate surveying plays a significant role. Cadastral maps and property maps, along with other surveying data, accurately provide the administrative and ownership boundaries of land, the location, boundaries, and area of each ownership unit (parcel), the geometric dimensions and floor area of each building, and the geometric dimensions and floor area of each floor. After confirmation by land management and housing authorities, these maps and data are legally binding, protecting the legitimate rights and interests of land users and property owners. They provide reliable drawings and data for the rational development, utilization, and management of land and property, as well as a basis for the reasonable taxation of real estate by the state.
