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.

 

粤港澳测量师学术交流联谊活动，在过去多年来，曾访问广州、潮汕、韶关、惠州、中山及湛江等地，每次团员都 口碑载道。今年交流联谊活动在佛山市三水区的绿湖温泉度假酒店举行，希望藉此交流联谊活动加深了解佛山的发展，亦希望与佛山市政府建立及增进友谊，为日后的往来合作迈出第一步。

 

我很高兴佛山市国土规划局领导为我们介绍佛山市测绘、规划建设等情况，佛山市政府领导介绍佛山市的社会经济发展情况和广东省国土资源厅领导给我们讲话。

 

我们今年的专题报告包括：佛山、香港及澳门有关测绘的专题报告；国家和香港两地有关测绘师和测量师的注册制度，也安排了最新的测绘科技：北斗卫星接收机和1秒全站仪介绍及无人驾驶遥感飞机介绍。我相信大家都已满载而归。

 

今次活动全赖广东省测绘学会、佛山市国土规划局和佛山市三水区人民政府的悉心安排，加上广东省国土资源厅的全力支持，才能顺利举行。

 

及后，大会为我们安排了多个实地考察。我们到佛山市祖庙见识佛山市传统文化，我们在东华里见证了佛山市一个三旧改造项目，在文化保育的大前题下，对旧城区的更新加入了商业原素，大大增加了项目的可行性和推动力。另一个考察的文化保育项目是三水大旗头古村，这条古村建于清朝光绪年间，是粤中区很有代表性的清代古村，这个保育改造项目正处于开发阶段，项目的潜力不容小窥。
