Assessing the accuracy and precision

of pacing through the techniques of
taping: A field work and report
analysis approach
This fieldwork and report ANALYSIS discusses the ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF PACING THROUGH TAPING TECHNIQUES
THAT foster a culture of accountability and quality control in surveying. It encourages individuals and organizations to pay attention to detail and
continuously improve their processes, ultimately leading to better outcomes and higher levels of success in various endeavors. This paper discusses the
objective, procedure, tabulated perspectives of the field work, computations, and conclusions or takeaways in the workplace at far eastern university, Manila.

OBJECTIVES OF THE FIELD WORK 1

Certainly, here are specific objectives for obtaining the pace of a certain person in the field work on surveying, especially in the practice of architecture at far eastern
university, manila:

 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.

Materials used
Here are the following materials presented from the field work happened at far eastern university, manila:

 Grade rods;

 50-meter steel measuring tape;

 Markers for point (tapes, Chalks, or crayons); and

  Any notes and pen for tracking and recording the data gathered.

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

Conclusion and take away

In conclusion, determining a person's walking pace with a mean number of rates of 96.3 and a pace factor of 0.727 meters per pace provides valuable insights into their gait
and mobility. This information is significant for individual health assessment and has broader implications, such as urban planning, transportation engineering, and fitness tracking. The
key takeaway from this analysis is that everyone’s walking pace is unique and can be characterized by the number of paces they take to cover a specific distance. The mean number of
paces, in this case, 96.3, is a reference point for understanding how efficiently a person moves. Meanwhile, the pace factor of 0.727 meters per pace offers a quantifiable measure of stride
length, which can be used to assess and improve one's walking efficiency.

Proficiency on the assessment of pacing

Through linear measurements of basketball
court: A field work 2 and report
analysis method
This fieldwork 2 accentuates the proficiency on the assessment of pacing through linear measurements of basketball court in far eastern
university, manila for surveying. Measuring the pacing of an individual for surveying is crucial as it provides a practical and cost-effective method for
estimating distances in the field, especially when precise equipment isn't readily available. This approach enables surveyors to quickly assess distances,
aiding in preliminary site evaluations and saving valuable time. Additionally, pacing is particularly valuable in remote or rugged terrain where traditional
OBJECTIVES OF THE FIELD WORK 2
When conducting fieldwork in surveying focused on measuring pace, using a taping line, and employing stadia methods, the specific objectives include:

 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.

Conclusion and takeaway

In conclusion, the determination of a person's walking pace, resulting in a mean number of paces of 44.30, a paced distance of 32.206 meters, and a taped distance of 31.5
meters, demonstrates that individual walking speeds can vary significantly. The relative precision of 2.241 percent indicates the accuracy of the pace measurement. It underscores the
importance of precise measurements when assessing walking speed, as even small errors can lead to notable discrepancies in distance covered. This information is valuable for a range of
applications, including health monitoring, urban planning, and fitness tracking.
