Message from LSD Chairman (July 2012)

Technical Visit to Sanshui District of Foshan City (粵港澳測量師學術交流聯誼活動2012)

Technical seminars are held among land surveyors from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau from time to time to update everyone on the latest technologies from all three places. Over the years, we have visited Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Shantou, Shaoguan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, and Zhanjiang and treasured every visit. The 2012 Technical Visit was made to Foshan between 22 and 25 July with over 100 delegates. The visit enhanced our understanding of the development of Foshan. We first established our relationship with the Foshan Municipal Government, which paved the way for future cooperation.
 
At this seminar, the latest updates on the Survey and Mapping developments in Foshan, Hong Kong, and Macau were reported and Foshan’s economic growth was highlighted. We also exchanged our registration systems of land surveying professionals in both Hong Kong and the Mainland. The latest technology of the Beidou Satellite Receiver System and the unmanned remotely-operated aircraft for aerial survey were introduced. Many thanks go to the organizers: the Guangdong Provincial Association of Surveying and Mapping, the Foshan Natural Resources and Urban Planning Bureau, and the People’s Government of Sanshui District, Foshan, for their wholehearted planning and arrangement of every single step in making the event a great success. Special thanks go to the Department of Land and Resources of Guangdong Province for its full support for every aspect of the event.
 
粵港澳測量師學術交流聯誼活動,在過去多年來,曾訪問廣州、潮汕、韶關、惠州、中山及湛江等地,每次團員都 口碑載道。今年交流聯誼活動在佛山市三水區的綠湖溫泉度假酒店舉行,希望藉此交流聯誼活動加深瞭解佛山的發展,亦希望與佛山市政府建立及增進友誼,為日後的往來合作邁出第一步。
 
我很高興佛山市國土規劃局領導為我們介紹佛山市測繪、規劃建設等情況,佛山市政府領導介紹佛山市的社會經濟發展情況和廣東省國土資源廳領導給我們講話。
 
我們今年的專題報告包括:佛山、香港及澳門有關測繪的專題報告;國家和香港兩地有關測繪師和測量師的註冊制度,也安排了最新的測繪科技:北斗衛星接收機和1秒全站儀介紹及無人駕駛遙感飛機介紹。我相信大家都已滿載而歸。
 
今次活動全賴廣東省測繪學會、佛山市國土規劃局和佛山市三水區人民政府的悉心安排,加上廣東省國土資源廳的全力支持,才能順利舉行。
 
及後,大會為我們安排了多個實地考察。我們到佛山市祖廟見識佛山市傳統文化,我們在東華里見證了佛山市一個三舊改造項目,在文化保育的大前題下,對舊城區的更新加入了商業原素,大大增加了項目的可行性和推動力。另一個考察的文化保育項目是三水大旗頭古村,這條古村建於清朝光緒年間,是粵中區很有代表性的清代古村,這個保育改造項目正處於開發階段,項目的潛力不容小窺。
