To determine the accurate distance measurement of the length of an individual's pace to facilitate precise distance measurements during surveys;
To use the boundary and property line for the data to confirm on their pacing boundaries, ensuring to be constructed and aligned to the specific target;
To Address errors, mistakes, types of errors, and origins of inaccuracies; accuracy and precision; probabilistic concept; and most actual value;
To recognize the errors in estimating distances and make exact fixes or changes throughout the fieldwork; and
To familiarize with the usage of different materials in surveying, the steel tape, tachymetry (theodolite), and steel meter ruler.
These specific objectives illustrate the versatility and significance of obtaining an individual's pace in surveying across various fields and individuals may determine their
pacing in the workplace.
Procedures presented
Here are the following procedures presented from the fieldwork used by the group to determine the pace of every person inside the group. Individuals may follow these
procedures:
Select a Straight Line – Choose a relatively long, straight, and level path for the person to walk. This path should be suitable for the desired measurement, such as
mapping, land surveying, or site assessment.
Prepare Equipment – Gather the necessary equipment, including a measuring tape or surveyor's chain,
marking flags, a notepad, a pen or pencil, and a partner to assist with the measurement.
Establish the Starting Point – Identify the starting point of your measurement. This could be a reference point on a map, a known coordinate, or a physical marker on
the ground.
Calibrate the Pacing – Ask the person whose pace you are measuring to start walking from the starting point at a normal pace, taking natural and comfortable strides.
Ensure that they maintain this pace throughout the measurement.
Count the Paces – As the person walks, one of the surveyors should count their paces. A pace consists of two steps: one step with the left foot and one step with the
right foot. Count each pair of steps as one pace.
Measure the Distance – At regular intervals (e.g., every 100 paces), use the measuring tape or surveyor's chain to measure the distance covered. Make sure to note the
number of paces it takes to reach each measuring point.
Record Data – Record the number of paces and the corresponding measured distances in a notepad. Ensure that you maintain a clear and organized record of the data.
Calculate the Pace Length – Divide the measured distance by the total number of paces to calculate the length of one pace. This will give you the average pace length
for the person being surveyed.
Analyze and Document – Analyze the results to ensure consistency and accuracy. Document the pace length obtained and any additional notes or observations about
the person's walking pattern.
Check and Verify – Periodically recheck and verify the pace length, especially if the person's walking pattern changes or if extreme accuracy is required.

NO. OF SPACES, AND THE PACE FACTOR.
PACE FACTOR:
L1 = 70.0 M
Mean no. of paces:
N1 = 10
TD = 70.0 M
SUM = 963
MNP = 963 / 10
M1 = SUM 1 / N1
= 96.3 paces
= 963 / 10 = 96.3
L/M1 = 70 M / 96.3
= 0.727 M/PACE
To Accurately measure distances between points by employing the pacing technique, where the surveyor's steps are counted, the taping line for longer distances, and
stadia methods for quick estimates, enabling precise mapping and boundary determination:
To Determine property boundaries and land parcel dimensions by combining pacing, taping, and stadia measurements;
To Address errors, mistakes, types of errors, and origins of inaccuracies; accuracy and precision; probabilistic concept; and most actual value;
To recognize the errors in estimating distances and make exact fixes or changes throughout the fieldwork; and
To familiarize with the usage of different materials in surveying, the steel tape, tachymetry (theodolite), and steel meter ruler.
These specific objectives highlight the versatility and importance of combining various measurement techniques, including pacing, taping lines, and stadia methods, in
surveying fieldwork for a wide range of application, especially for architecture and engineering..
Procedures conferred
Here are the following procedures presented from the fieldwork 2 used by the group When conducting fieldwork in surveying to obtain pace, use a taping line, and apply
stadia methods:
Equipment Setup – gather and check the surveying equipment, including a surveyor's steel tape, stadia rod, and theodolite or total station, ensuring they are in working
order and calibrated correctly.
Starting Point – Establish a stable starting point and set up the theodolite or total station there, ensuring it is level and properly oriented.
Pacing Measurement – Select a straight path, designate one surveyor to walk it at a consistent pace while counting their paces, and record the number of paces taken
for shorter distances.
Taping Measurement – For longer distances, extend the surveyor's steel tape between two points along the path, ensuring its level and taut, and record the measured
length.
Stadia Measurement – Use the stadia rod or leveling staff to measure vertical distances or elevations between the instrument and specific points of interest along the
path, recording the readings.
Calibration and Quality Control – periodically check and recalibrate equipment to maintain measurement accuracy, and cross-verify measurements to ensure
consistency and reliability.
Record Keeping: Maintain organized records of all measurements, including field notes, sketches, and digital records, to create a comprehensive survey dataset.
Analyze and Document – Analyze the results to ensure consistency and accuracy. Document the pace length obtained and any additional notes or observations about
the person's walking pattern.
Check and Verify – Periodically recheck and verify the pace length, especially if the person's walking pattern changes or if extreme accuracy is required.
