Abstract	This study examined the influence of geodetic surveying skills and mapping techniques on farmers’ awareness of agricultural land tenure security as a basis for developing a strategic action plan for the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Camarines Sur II for calendar year 2025. Grounded in the need for accurate land information and informed beneficiaries to support secure land tenure, the study employed a descriptive–correlational research design. Data were collected from DAR Camarines Sur II survey unit staff and selected farmer-beneficiaries from the upper barangays of Naga City using validated researcher-made questionnaires. Results revealed that the survey staff demonstrated a very high level of geodetic surveying skills in terms of communication, critical thinking, and detail orientation. Similarly, mapping techniques, including GPS/GNSS, traverse, and triangulation, were assessed as very highly skilled. Farmers also exhibited a very high level of awareness of agricultural land tenure security, particularly in documentation and land title knowledge, government programs and policies, and legal awareness. Statistical analysis showed significant relationships between the geodetic surveying skills and mapping techniques of survey staff and the farmers’ level of awareness, indicating that higher technical proficiency contributes to improved understanding and confidence among farmer-beneficiaries regarding their land rights. The study concludes that accurate surveying, effective mapping, and clear communication play a vital role in strengthening agricultural land tenure security. Based on the findings, a strategic action plan known as TEODONES (Technical Evaluation of Documentation and Operations for Navigating Equitable Surveying) was developed to enhance technical capacity and promote sustainable and equitable land management.
