Overcoming the Soviet Legacy in Land Surveying and Topographic-Geodetic Activities in Ukraine: Terminological Unification, Reframing of Scope and Institutional Integration

It demonstrates that the Soviet educational–professional tradition narrowed geodesy to measurement-centric engineering practices while marginalizing the European understanding of land management as a project- and law-driven activity that designs boundaries and regimes of land use with direct legal consequences.
