In general terms, surveying is to inspect, view, scrutinize or examine that phenomenon that needs to be surveyed. This is done in order to determine the condition of the object surveyed or to assess the situation and learn about the 'value' of that which is surveyed. This could be a piece of land, a stretch of road or even a legal parcel of land.
In our context here, survey is a science and art of determining the relative positions of points (locations) above, on or beneath the earth surface. The basic concerns regarding a survey are spaces and locations within them. Survey essentially take note of specific point locations for later reference.
