Abstract

Abstract
This research aims to gather information of computer uses for land
surveying data calculation in the work field of land surveying and
mapping in the Yogyakarta Province and surroundings. The research
focuses on the actors of computer uses, surveying data types, software
types, and its linkage with the drawing process.
This research applies qualitative approach. The chosen
research subjects are seven land surveyors in Yogyakarta and
surroundings. The data were collected by in-depth interview,
participating observation, and document analysis. The data analysis
consists of the processes of categorizing, data reduction, data display,
and verification.
The research results show that the computer uses for land
surveying data calculation are applied by various levels of surveyor, from
the lower competency level, Young Surveyor or operator, with senior
high-school education background, to the highest level, Main Surveyor
or Senior Professional Surveyor. Computer aided calculation is applied
for all surveying data types, especially mapping framework surveying
data. traverses and levels. The common software used for surveying
data calculation is Microsoft Excel, utilizing formulae and function
menus. The drawing processes of calculation results can be categorized
into three groups: manual drawing, computer drawing using AutoCAD
software, and drawing with the integrated program for calculation and
drawing.
Keywords: computer uses, land-surveying data, surveying data
calculation.
