Up-to-the-date practices of geodetic measurements for build-up area expansion: a case study from Uzbekistan

Abstract

This paper seeks to contribute to continuing efforts to better understand and control the effects of urbanization on our environment and society by offering a thorough review of the most recent geodetic measuring techniques for build-up area growth. In this article, we give a case study from Uzbekistan that looks at current geodetic measuring techniques for expanding build-up areas. Uzbekistan is a fast urbanizing nation in Central Asia, and politicians and experts are both deeply concerned about the growth of the country's built-up regions. The case study, which offers a thorough investigation of the geodetic measuring methods and tools used to gauge and track the growth of the built environment, is focused on a particular metropolitan region in Uzbekistan. Therefore, this article gives a summary of current geodetic measurement methods, including remote sensing methods like LiDAR and satellite imaging as well as surveying methods like total station and GNSS. The case study also emphasizes some of the difficulties and restrictions related to these methods, such as the requirement for precise geodetic control points and the inadequacies of satellite imaging in regions with thick vegetation or cloud cover.
