1. Land Surveyors / Geographic Information System Managers

As Geomatics is the science and study of spatially related information and is particularly concerned with the collection, manipulation and presentation of the natural, social and economic geography of the natural and built environments, the section seeks to strengthen its membership whilst engaging fully in technological and economic developments in Brunei Darussalam.

We believe that the Land Surveyors / GIS Managers Section acts as the 'infrastructure of the infrastructure' , and, through new and burgeoning areas such as geographic information science, fulfils an increasingly important role in the economic and environmental development of society.

With all the current members are working in the government sector, the section can develop its strength as a centre of planning and development expertise for members and also for the outside world.

The interests of this section exist within all types of property. Its purpose is to support the professional issues concerning members (Land Valuers, Land Economists, Land Officers, Property and Asset Managers, Real Estate Managers, etc).

The Institution can also conduct a wide range of economic analysis to examine the latest developments in the Bruneian economy, as well as those in specific land and property markets that members of the institution practise in.

We can conduct regular surveys of our members, giving it the ability to provide timely and accurate information on conditions in the major property markets. Special research can be undertaken into a wide variety of land and property-related issues, and the resulting economic effects.

5.Research proposed by the Institution

The Institution can set up a Research and Consultation Advisory Board to undertake and publish a wide range of research undertaken on a variety of land and property issues.
