The principle of "working from whole to part" is used in surveying because

Explanation:

• The principle of "working from whole to part" is followed in surveying to ensure that errors do not accumulate as the survey progresses.
• By first establishing a precise control framework (the "whole"), and then working within that framework for smaller details (the "parts"), the overall accuracy of the survey is maintained and localized errors do not affect the entire survey.

 Additional Information

Principle of "Working from Whole to Part":

• This principle involves first establishing a network of highly accurate control points over the entire survey area. These points serve as a reference framework.

• Once the main framework is established, detailed measurements (such as small features, internal details, and secondary points) are conducted within these control points.

• The method ensures that any small errors in detailed work remain localized and do not affect the entire survey. This prevents the accumulation of errors over large distances or areas.

• It also allows for efficient quality control because the accuracy of local measurements can always be checked against the already established high-precision framework.
