This bachelor's thesis examines the accuracy of horizontal stakeout using the polar method, the intersection method (resection by directions), and the distance intersection method (arc intersection). The aim of the thesis is to compare the theoretical accuracy of these stakeout methods and to determine how the choice of method and the stakeout geometry affect the accuracy of the staked points. A precise stakeout geodetic network was established in Toscanini Park in Ljubljana, where field measurements were carried out and the coordinates of the instrument stations were determined by leastsquares adjustment. Based on the coordinates of the precise stakeout network and the design coordinates of the building corners, the stakeout elements were computed for all three methods. The theoretical accuracy was evaluated using the law of variance-covariance propagation and expressed in terms of coordinate standard deviations, positional accuracy, and error ellipses. The stakeout was then performed in the field, and the positions determined by each method were marked on millimetre paper and compared with one another. The results showed that the accuracy is significantly influenced by the distance between the staked point and the instrument station, as well as by the intersection angle of the measured elements. In the investigated case, the polar method provided the most uniform accuracy, whereas the accuracy of the intersection methods varied more noticeably depending on the geometry of the individual point.
