Topographical and Cadastral Map Capacity 
Using Photogrammetrical Methods as Against 
the Annual Complete Capacity Over the Whole Country, 
Using Various Methods. 
1:5,000 scale topographical maps have been 
compiled, covering about 40 per cent of the 
whole country surface. 
Since 1961, a 1:5,000 scale basic topogra- 
phical map over the whole country surface 
has been compiled, using photogrammetrical 
procedures. The cadastral map has been de- 
1ived from the above mentioned basic topo- 
graphical map, as shown in Figure 2. 
The scale of the basic topographical map 
has been chosen to answer the cadastral re- 
quirements. A 1:10,000 scale was considered 
too small and unproper for any zone of the 
country. So, all 1:10,000 scale topographi- 
cal and cadastral maps have no more updated, 
but 1eplaced by the 1:5,000 scale basic to- 
pographical and cadastral maps. 
The main photogrammetric procedures were: 
- Stereoplotting procedure.The stereoplo- 
tters, such as, Stereoplanigraphs, Stereo- 
metrographs, Autographs have been used to 
compile an analogical/graphic map showing 
planimetry, hydrography and relief; 
- Mixed procedure. Various rectifiers pro- 
ducing photomaps further processed as gra- 
phical maps by cartographical procedures 
have been used for planimetry. The level- 
ling has been made up in the field topo- 
graphically. 
This mixed procedure has been used only 
144 
over plane and rather rough (undulating) 
ground. 
Obviously, our country topography justifies 
the two photogrammetric procedure uses to 
compile both the 1:5,000 scale basic topo- 
graphical map and the derived cadastral 
one. This scale is also too small for 
built-up surfaces showing many topographi- 
cal details and having a high economic 
value, respectively. 
Therefore, 1:2,000 and 1:1,000 scale topo- 
graphical maps and the derived cadastral 
ones have been compiled over these highly 
densed surfaces, using the same technology 
given in Figure 2. 
Surfaces requiring topographical and cadas- 
tral maps at scales larger than a 1:1,000 
scale are not the subject of the general 
cadastre, but they are related to the spe- 
cialized cadastre (mining cadastre, indus- 
trial site cadastre, a.s.o.). 
Data on topographical and cadastral work 
capacity in Romania and the state-of-art 
at the end of 1991 are shown in Table 1, 
in a synthetical way. 
As we have already mentioned, the 1:10,000 
scale topographical and cadastral maps had 
been replaced by the 1:5,000 scale ones; 
this is the reason not to mention them in 
the below table.
