Geodesy was one scientific branch eldest that was connected with the physical environment the earth. Since berabad passed, Geodesy be connected with survey and the mapping. From the Nile River flood (2000 SM) up to the monitoring of the movement kerak the earth was the matter that really was related to Geodesy. To the report on the Council of Riset National United States, the definition of Geodesy could be read as follows: a branch of applied mathematics that determines by observations and measurements the exact position of points and the figures and areas of large portions of the earth apostr s surface,the shape and size of the earth, and the variations of terrestrial gravity. In the different language, geodesy was the branch from knowledge of applied mathematics, that was carried out by means of doing the grating and observation to determine: * the position that was certain from the blank in front bumi * the measurement and the area from most faces bumi * the form and the measurement of the earth as well as the gravity variation earth
This definition had two aspects, that is: * Aspek scientific (the aspect of the determination of the form), was linked with the aspect of geometry and physical the earth as well as the difficult magnetic field variation the earth. * Aspek of the application (the aspect of the determination of the position), was connected with the grating and observation of the thorough or wide blank from some of most earths. The aspect of this application that afterwards was known with the survey term and the mapping or the geodesy technique. Currently the geodesy technique no longer only is connected with the survey and the mapping. The development of digital computer technology widened the scientific scope and the expertise of the geodesy technique. The map was managed as geographical information . That was the reason the international community adopted the new terminology: Geomatika or Geoinformatika.
