owners, preferable a year before the work is to start. Lectures
and meetings are arranged with the aim of convincing the
landowners of the importance of having their boundaries
marked on the economic maps.
A good arrangement has proved to be the appointment of
contact men. Each contact man represents the landowners in
a specified area.
The contact men are active participants in the informative
activities arranged in each village, and they subsequently en-
sure that the marking is carried out.
Vertikal Photography.
After marking has been completed, the aerial photography
is carried out by one of our two private aerial photography
firms: Widerge’s Flyveselskap A/S or Nor Fly A/S.
Four sets of prints are produced, for distribution as follows:
1) The Province Map Committee
2) The Land-Reallotment Service
3) The Department for Agriculture Development
4) The mapping firm.
Registry of property boundaries.
Registry of property boundaries is now carried out by the
Land Reallotment Service. As previously mentioned, this is
in the charge of an Area Manager in each province, who has
at his disposal a staff of 8 to 10 registrars. 500—600 sq.km
are registered annually in each province. The registrars are
principally people who have attended schools of agriculture
or forestry, who take a short course in interpretation of aerial
photographs. Registry of property boundaries is a time-con-
suming task which requires a high standard of interpretation
and precision in point marking. The finished photographs
show the complete run of all current property boundaries
and the registry number of each property.
Four different types of boundary symbols are used:
l. Bolt in bed rock or stone
2. Cross cut into bed rock or stone
3. Boundary stone or boundary cairn.
4. Boundary point without specil symbol.
