| Summary: | This research aimed to analyze double meridian distance for a closed traverse area in developing a land title for a
propose gymnasium in Qassim University. Theodolite, leveling rod and steel tape plays an important role in measuring
elevations, bearings and distances of the boundaries of a lot. Contour map is necessary to determine the traces of level
surfaces of successive elevation. This will enable to identify the type of contour map and type of contour lines necessary
for this project. Corel draw software is used to draw contour map and guide to interpret the significance of the variables.
It is essential to check the error of closure for interior angles and for both latitude and departure before applying the
Double Meridian Distance (DMD) method to obtain the total area of the lot. Technical descriptions of the land such as
distance, bearing, boundaries and area are necessary to visualize the shape & exact location of the land. Developing a
land title will be obtained using the technical descriptions of the lot in preparation for the type of gymnasium necessary
for Qassim University. |
