space, including natural and artificial celestial bodies.
In the territory of Turkmenistan the single state system of coordinates, heights and gravimetric measurements is installed.
Large-scale number of topographic maps and plans is established depending on their purpose.
The procedure for introduction and use of single state system of coordinates, heights, gravimetric measurements and establishment of large-scale number of topographic maps and plans affirm the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan.
Treat geodetic and cartographic works:
determination of parameters of figure of the earth and external gravitational field;
creation, updating, the edition and replication of topographic maps and plans in graphical, digital, photographic and other forms;
creation, development and maintenance in working order geodetic, leveling and gravimetric networks;
remote sensing of Earth;
geodynamic researches based on geodetic and space measurements;
forming of the State kartografo-geodetic fund of Turkmenistan;
creation of geographical information systems and their maintaining;
development, creation and edition of all-geographical, political and administrative, scientific and help and other thematic cards and atlases, education cartographic guidances;

Geodetic and cartographic products, including the topographical, geodetic, hydrographic, space and gravimetric materials and data obtained when carrying out geodetic and cartographic works in the territory of Turkmenistan and also materials and data of the State kartografo-geodetic fund of Turkmenistan are property of the state.
Geodetic and cartographic activities in Turkmenistan are under authority of the state.
Public administration by geodetic and cartographic activities is performed by the body authorized on that.
In competence of body, authorized to exercise public administration of geodetic and cartographic activities, enter:
creation and ensuring functioning in the territory of Turkmenistan of single state system of coordinates, heights and gravimetric measurements;
accomplishment in the territory of Turkmenistan geodetic and cartographic works;
establishment of technical requirements, regulations and rules on carrying out geodetic and cartographic works, and also procedure for their implementation;
creation of the state geographical information system and its maintaining;
requirements satisfaction of the state, legal entities and physical persons in geodetic and cartographic products;
geodetic, cartographic, topographical and hydrographic support of delimitation, demarcation and check of passing of the line of Frontier of Turkmenistan;
creation and maintaining the State kartografo-geodetic fund of Turkmenistan;
geodetic and cartographic support city, land and other inventories;
coordination of accomplishment of geodetic and cartographic works for the purpose of carrying out single state policy in the field of geodesy and cartography;
control of movement through customs border of Turkmenistan of the equipment and the technical devices intended for implementation of geodetic and cartographic works;
other powers determined in Regulations on this body.
The state supervision and control of geodetic and cartographic activities in Turkmenistan is provided with body, authorized to exercise public administration of geodetic and cartographic activities.
