A quality assurance system at the Land Survey and Mapping Unit (Malta)

Abstract

The research approach looked at the experience of the author and colleagues within the Land Survey and Mapping Unit (Malta) concerning the implementation of a Quality Assurance System. The analysis demonstrated that it is feasible for the Land Survey and Mapping Unit (Malta) to implement a quality assurance system. However the issues of either implementing a quality assurance system designed to suit the needs and requirements of the Unit or following the route of ISO standards and other acceptable international standards is not so evident. While there appear to be a number of limitations to implementation, they are within the control of the Unit.
