Abstract
Two of most exciting and effective technical developments to emerge in the last towdecade are: the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Geographic InformationSystem (GIS).GPS is a powerful tool providing a unique position of a specific feature. It allowsyou to know where you are by consulting a radio receiver. The accuracies range asgood as a few millimeters to somewhere around 100 meters, depending on equipmentand procedures applied to the process of data collection.While GIS is an extremely broad and complex field, concerned with the use ofcomputers to input, store, retrieve, analyze, and display geographic information.Basically GIS programs make a computer think it?s a map, a map with wonderfulpowers to process spatial information, and to tell its users about any part of theworld, at almost any level of detail.Combining the GPS data with GIS allow for greater capabilities than what GPS andGIS can provide individually. With the combination of two technologies one is ableto display the ?Field/Actual Site? on a PC and make information decisions. There isno need to make specific site visits or review several documents/drawings. Also,anther benefit of the integration is the fact that the data can be shared by unlimitedusers in various departments for their own specific needs and analysis.This work has two main objectives; the first objective is to study the integration ofGPS and GIS technologies. The second objective is to design and establish a goodand up-to-date base for a modern cadastre system for Beyşehir municipality, Turkey,by using the GPS and GIS techniques and other modern surveying instruments
