The Fédération Internationale des Géomètres ( FIG ; German International Association of Surveying Engineers ) is a global umbrella organization of surveying engineers - mainly for those geodesists who work as civil engineers under private law .
The FIG was founded in 1878 by professional organizations from Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and Switzerland and primarily promotes international cooperation between surveying and its professional organizations, interdisciplinary cooperation between geodesy and other geosciences and technical progress, etc. . a. through its own commissions , congresses , workshops and publications . It also strives for common standards in professional practice and training at technical colleges and universities on.
The umbrella organization is a non-governmental organization recognized by the UN and works in their development programs ( UN Habitat , FAO ).
Working method
The FIG is divided into 10 commissions, each of which covers one work area (the chairperson in italics):
- Commission 1: Professional Practice; Klaus Rürup (Germany)
- Committee 2: Vocational Training; Professor Pedro Cavero (Spain)
- Committee 3: Management of spatial information; Gerhard Muggenhuber (Austria)
- Commission 4: Hydrography; Adam Greenland (Great Britain)
- Commission 5: Positioning and Surveying; Matthew B. Higgins (Australia)
- Commission 6: Engineering surveying; Svend Kold Johansen (Denmark)
- Committee 7: Cadastre and Land Management; Professor Paul van der Molen (Netherlands)
- Committee 8: Spatial Planning and Development; Paul Lohmann (Netherlands)
- Committee 9: Appraisal and Property Management; Stephen Yip (Hong Kong, China)
- Commission 10: Construction Industry and Management; Philip Shearer (Great Britain)
International projects are a multi-lingual technical dictionary , history of geodesy and grants for developing countries .
Cooperation partner
The International Science Council (ICSU) and various professional organizations are also important international partners . These include u. a. the following associations:
- International Association for Geodesy (IAG) ,
- International Union for Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) ,
- International Association for Cartography (ICA) ,
- International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) ,
- International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) and the
- International Society for Mine Surveillance (ISM) .
Further partners can be found in professional associations that complement the work of surveyors. These include
- the International Council for Building Science (CIB) ,
- the International Association of Real Estate Agents (FIABCI) ,
- the International Council for Project Evaluation (ICEC) and
- the International Association for Housing, Urban Development and Regional Planning (IVWSR) .
As a partner, the International Geodetic Student Organization (IGSO) is the link to geodesy students.
Members
The members of the FIG are 79 regional associations (230,000 geodesists), some institutions and individual members. You work in 9 commissions, which are sent by experts from the associations . The DVW is the German member association of FIG.
From their results are u. a. some definitions of general importance - such as the Commission's Geospatial and Land Information Systems (LIS) 3.
