• Three elements in surveying are distance, direction, and elevation.
• Technical approach to identify property in a site location is by relocation survey.
• The bearing in typing the bearing is " @distance< ( direction )(degrees)D (minutes) " (seconds) ' (direction) " and press enter.
• Layman's approach to identify property in a site location is by the direction of a knowledgeable person.
• The measuring wheel is a measuring wheel mounted on a rod and used to calculate spaces by pushing the rod along the line.
• Lot Plotting is the drawing of the exact shape (square, rectangle, trapezoid) and measurement of a particular lot from the technical descriptions shown in the title.
• Contour Lines are lines in a topographic plan which indicate the elevation of the land at various sections.
• Surveying is the science of making measurements to determine the relative position of points and lines on the surface of the earth.
• The odometer is an attached device that serves to measure the number of turns of the wheel.
• The distance reconnaissance can determine the relative accuracy through the circumference of the ring and the number of revolutions.
• TCT stands for Transfer Certificate Title, while OCT stands for Original Certificate Title.
• A map is a flat representation of the earth's surface in paper.
• Distance – the extent or amount of space between two things, points, lines, etc.
• Direction – a position on a line extending from a specific end toward an end of the compass. Define by the number of degrees, minutes, and seconds.
• Elevation – height above a fixed reference point.
• ESSENTIAL DATA NEEDED FOR SITE LOCATION • Direction (Using the internet, for example, Google Earth • Lot Plan/ Vicinity Map/ Location Map • Means of transportation • Access roads/ routes • The reference point (adjacent properties/ landmarks) and specific distance or time frame. • Land Use • Contact person
• SOURCES OF DATA FOR SITE LOCATION • Survey Maps • Vicinity or Location Maps • Tax map • Land Title • Sketch Plan • Owner • Owner's Agent • Internet (i.e., Google Map) • Barangay/ Puro Officials • Neighbors
• HOW TO IDENTIFY PROPERTY IN A SITE LOCATION?

  TECHNICAL APPROACH – by Relocation Survey LAYMAN'S APPROACH – Direction of a knowledgeable person SEMI – SKILLED APPROACH - Sketching with the use of; (1) compass and tape, and (2) Angular estimate and Pacing, Use of a GPS.
• OTHER WAYS TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE 1. Taping EquiAMents 2. Clisimeter 3. Transit, or Level; and stadia 4. EDM 5. Laser meter
• MAP SCALE – indicates the relationship between a certain distance on the map and space on the ground. Often located in the "legend box."
• TYPES OF SCALE: 1. RATION OR REPRESENTATIVE FRACTION (RF) Example: 1/ 100,000 or 1:100,000 2. WORD STATEMENT Example: "one centimeter equals ten kilometers." 3. GRAPHIC SCALE
• BASIC MAPS / PLANS 1. Vicinity Map/ Location Map 2. Subdivision Plan 3. Lot Plan 4. Topographic Plan 5. Geohazard Map 6. Land use Map
• The limits are the boundaries and lot orientation on the north, east, west, and south.
• CONTENT OF A TCT • TCT Serial No. • TCT Number • Page and Book Number • Location of the Property (Lot, Block, and Survey No.) • Technical Description • Reference Points • Tie Line
• Encumbrances annotated at the back of the title such as: ➢ Subdivision restriction ➢ Right-of-way

  ➢ Mortgage and other liens )
