3. SURVEYING AND MAPPING ACCURACY, MAP CONTENT AND iAP REVISION AND 
THEIR CRUCIAL BEARINGS ON THE IMPACT OF (PHOTOGRAMMETRIC) SURVEYING 
AND MAPPING ON THE NATIGNAL AND WORLD'S ECONOMY. 
  
  
There is no doubt that a complete, appropriate and up-to-date 
surveying and map system would result in a not insignificantly higher 
GNP for most countries of the world. As we have seen under 2. we are 
far from this goal. A significant improvement of the situation can 
obviousiv be achieved only by highly accelerating the present days 
Surv-ying and mapping operation. To achieve this we obviously should 
increase significantly the annual appropriations for surveying and 
mapping and the manpower involved (unless replaceable by a higher de- 
gree o? automation) and relax accuracy requirements to a justifiable 
  
lowest limit. It is important to state that exaggerated accuracy 
requirements have bcen one of the major reason in the past for an 
insufficient progress rate in surveying and mapping as required work 
and time increase at a higher power than one as a fonction of increa- 
sing accuracy requirements. But even if reasonable accuracy require- 
ments are stipulated it is not very likely that the governments of 
most countries would be agreeable to provide sizable additional funds 
for a massive increase of the country's surveying and mapping.
