Which term shall refer to the establishment of the permanent forestland and protected area boundaries by conducting actual ground survey?

• A. Boundary Survey
• B. Delimitation Survey
• C. Topographic Survey
• D. Geodetic Survey

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how the official boundary of forestland and protected areas is fixed on the ground through field measurement. Delimitation survey is the term that describes this process: it involves establishing the actual boundary lines on the ground, placing markers or monuments, and ensuring those lines align with the legal descriptions and proclamations for permanent forestlands and protected areas.

A boundary survey is a general boundary determination for land parcels, not specifically the on-the-ground establishment tied to forest and protected-area designations. A topographic survey focuses on mapping terrain features and elevations, not legal boundary lines. A geodetic survey deals with precise positioning within a geodetic reference framework, which is about network accuracy rather than the act of defining the boundary itself.
