				Commission 
				Chair Dan Roman gives his Statement on the sustainable 
				development goals in relation to Commission 5 - Positioning and 
				Measurement  
 
				FIG commission 6 “Engineering Surveys”  gathers experts 
				that deal with the production of data on the geometry and 
				location, from large structures to small objects, either 
				man-made or natural. In the domain of construction - the area 
				that involves most surveying engineers - it is present in the 
				development of new buildings or facilities and during their life 
				cycle: it’s vital for the planning, the setting out of the 
				design, the dimensional control and monitoring of deformations. 
				The skills and the accuracy of the work presented, involved 
				these professionals in projects assigned to other areas, ranging 
				from mechanical and industrial engineering to environmental 
				safety.
				 
				Good results in engineering surveying, suitable for the purpose 
				in view, are dependent on several factors: adequate equipment, 
				appropriate methodologies and a motivated team with the 
				necessary skills. These skills come from different sources: they 
				can come from school education (at different levels) but also 
				from the experience transmitted by the most knowledgeable 
				co-workers. Thousands of surveying engineering teams are working 
				in different parts of the world, many associated with projects 
				that are of vital importance for the survival and well-being of 
				populations (as examples, the supply of goods such as water, 
				electricity or sewage systems, transport infrastructures and 
				buildings such as hospitals or schools) in the lesser developed 
				countries, small island developing States and African countries. 
				This work, and the way it is developed, contributes to many of 
				the sustainable development goals adopted by United Nations 
				member states.

				The overall objective of Commission 
				9's work is to work towards improved 
				transparency in the land markets. Real estate has an 
				outstanding importance of the quality of living and working, the 
				transparency of this market is of particular importance. 
				Corruption, money laundering and white-collar crime are the more 
				difficult the more transparent the market is. Banks reduce the 
				risks of mortgage lending, the safer the development of property 
				values can be, and the risks of a financial crisis are reduced 
				if investors can be sure that the price of a property is not 
				completely off the market. In addition, governments can use the 
				data to make funding decisions for reducing soaring real estate 
				prices.  
				SDG 13 (Climate Action) is also part of it, because climate 
				neutrality cannot be achieved without climate-neutral and 
				sustainable construction and the related financing instruments 
				(which in turn also include the evaluation of the price effects 
				of climate-neutral buildings). We also have to look for partners 
				for these goals within the valuation- and the land management 
				scene. These communities are, especially in the Commission 9 
				area, most often also geographers, economists or sociologists.
