Subdivisions of A&D lands covering an area of more than 1,500 hectares.

• A. Isolated Surveys
• B. Public Land Surveys
• C. Public Land Subdivision
• D. Group Settlement/Townsite Subdivision Surveys

Answer: (C)

When surveying alienable and disposable lands, the method of subdivision is tied to both purpose and size. For A&D lands, if the tract to be subdivided is very large—specifically over 1,500 hectares—the appropriate category is Public Land Subdivision. This approach is used to break down a large public-domain area into individual parcels for disposition under the public land system, with the procedures and documentation designed for large-scale subdivision and titling.

Group Settlement/Townsite Subdivision surveys are geared toward creating a townsite or supporting a group settlement program, which involves planning for infrastructure and a settlement layout, not simply dividing public lands into sellable parcels. Isolated Surveys apply to single parcels not part of a larger subdivision, and Public Land Surveys relate to establishing boundaries of public-domain lands without the specific subdivision-for-disposition framework.

So for a subdivision of A&D lands exceeding 1,500 hectares, the correct process is Public Land Subdivision.
