A new role for Surveyors
Moving

• from a technical to a managerial role.
• from establishing mapping standards to enabling
  the production of bespoke social map making which
  recognizes occupancy rights.
• from enforcing legal standards to influencing
  policy alternatives.

How can professional associations support these
changes

• Changing from a skill based towards
  community-based competency based frameworks.
• Creating awareness programs and pilot projects
  with Private Sector, Government and NGO
  participation.
• Use of Government and NGO contacts to create
  awareness.
