What was the political importance of surveys in Dutch forest control?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To measure land and forests and strengthen state claims and control over them

Under Dutch colonial rule, surveys recorded the boundaries, extent and resources of land and forests. This enabled the state to claim forests as its property and regulate their use, timber cutting and local access. Predicting weather was not the political purpose of such surveys. Exam tip: in colonial history, link maps, measurement and surveys with state power and control over resources.
