Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has been supporting Cambodia to constrution a permanent CORS satellite land surveying station and is considering providing additional assistance in setting up a GNSS land surveying network system nationwide in the near future.

The two projects were discussed during a meeting between Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction HE Chea Sophara and Chief Representative of JICA in Cambodia Ms Kamei Haruko on 16 December.

The first agenda of the meeting was to allow the JICA delegations to visit the construction of the CORS land measuring station.

According to HE Sophara, the station is designed to help make measurements more accurate, speed up land registration nationwide, assist land locations pin-pointing work, and accelerate surveying work for irrigation and general construction buildings.

The station is also used to control construction machinery and check the high-rise buildings condition to prevent them from collapsing.

Another major purpose of the meeting was to discuss the feasibility of requesting further assistance from JICA regarding the establishment of the GNSS land surveying network.

Ms Kamei Haruko said that JICA will look into the possibility of providing additional assistance as JICA observes that the Ministry’s officers are working hard on this project with high responsibility.
