Abstract
Geodesy, starting as a scientific discipline exploring the size of the earth in the eighteenth century, soon produced the basis of modern land tax systems and enabled the institution of individual property rights in real estate, a backbone of the constitutional order. Geodesy stimulated the development of the modern state by data collection and land management methods. The satellite techniques and the advancement and the expansion of the sensor technology based upon the theoretical mastery of the space in methods and incoming data made the geodesy and its professionals effective in the public management and the economy. Geodesy as an economic sector producing and managing geo-information is deeply woven in different disciplines of science, public administration, and economy but recognizable by its methods and results.
