181 THE LAND SURVEYING TRAINING IN ZAMBIA Aleksandra Bujakiewicz DSc. , PhD Head of Department Department of Surveying University of Zambia P.O.Box 3E379, Lusaka,Zambia Commission VI ABSTRACT The development of African countries reqires a great number of professional surveyors in order to carry out all mapping, cadastral and engineering surveys.The cost of services and training in surveying is very high. Such investment can only be made available through the international coopérâtion.The countries of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa have only a few academic institutions which can provide higher education services in the Land Surveying Programme, offer consultancy and conduct research in surveying, geodesy and photogrammetry for this region of Africa.The Department of Surveying at the University of Zambia is one of these academic institutions. The Department has been supported by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) in respect of equipment and staff.The education,consultancy and research activity of the Department will be a subject of this paper. 1.INTRODUCTION The serious shortage of surveyors in East,Central and Southern African Region has been widely recognised and discussed.This matter has been raised at the CASLE seminars and FIG Forum. In March 1973, the Second General Assembly of CASLE established the Commonwealth Board of Surveying Education,to promote the provision and improve standards of education and training in surveying and land economy. Deve1opment of African countries requires a geat number of professional surveyors in order to carry out all work connected with topographic, engineering and cadastral surveys,using the conventional field methods and photogrammetry and remote sensing as well.The cost of services and education in surveying is very high. Such investment can only be reduced through the international cooperation. Setting up such institutions as the Center for Services in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing in Nairobi,Kenia or the National Remote Sensing in Harare,was supposed to solve partly the short term technical training in mapping,photogrammetry and remote sensing. In some countries the national educational institutions for the technical training in surveying are available, where the certificates and the National Diplomas can be obtained. However, because of a luck of proper staff and equipment,the level of this training is not always satisfactory to meet the new trends in technology. Therefore,the advanced technical training, long or short term, is still required in the Overseas institutions. Regarding the higher surveying education in Eastern,Central and Southern Africa, the only academic institutions are: the Universities of Sudan, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Such countries as Botswana, Malawi, Swaziland, Mozambique, Namibia, do not have the surveying programme at all, and the academic qualifications in surveying are usually obtained from the overseas universities. A high cost of such study implies the academic regional training, in these universities, where The Surveying Program is not available.
