PACING

courtesy of Academic Home Page


When there are no measuring instruments around and surveyors would need to measure a horizontal distance, pacing is an unconventional procedure which can give an approximation of the distance to be measured.

Pacing can only be utilized in measuring distances when the surveyor has an idea on his or her pace factor. Pace factor is the distance of a regular pace of one person. 







What is pace? 

A pace is the measurement of a step done by the opposite leg to move a distance. It is either measured toe-to-toe or heel-to-heel. Pace is different from stride. Stride is the measurement of the distance he same leg has moved. It is more commonly known as double pace.
