Which term describes surveys that establish the boundaries and related attributes for parcels to support land registration across municipalities?

• A. Cadastral Surveys
• B. Public Land Surveys
• C. Geodetic Control Surveys
• D. Isolated Surveys

Answer: (A)

Cadastral surveys establish parcel boundaries and related attributes to support land registration across municipalities. They measure and record exact boundary lines, corners, parcel areas, descriptions, and ownership or plan data, compiling these into cadastral maps and plans that authorities use to register titles and manage land parcels consistently over a whole area such as a municipality. This makes it possible to resolve ownership and boundary issues across different localities.

Other survey types serve different purposes: geodetic control surveys create a network of reference points for precise positioning rather than delineating parcel boundaries; public land surveys focus on lands that are public or classified as public domain; isolated surveys document a single parcel without integrating into a wider cadastral framework.
