The thesis deals with the re-establishment, surveying, and adjustment of a geodetic micronetwork at Smuk near the Church of St. Lawrence. The main objective was to determine the coordinates and elevation of the new church tower roof, reconstructed in 2013, and to compare the results of the new survey with measurements from 1997. Preserved archival documentation provided an important basis for the work, as it enabled us to reconstruct the former state of the network and to fully reprocess and readjust the original measurements. Prior to the new survey, we carried out field reconnaissance, restored or re-established selected points, and modified the network geometry due to changes in the surroundings and vegetation. The new network was surveyed using a precise electronic total station, while three of its points were also observed using the static GNSS method. The horizontal adjustment was first performed as a free-network adjustment, after which the network was fitted into the current national coordinate system D96-17/TM and then as constrained network adjustment at former national coordinate system D48/GK. Particular attention was paid to determining the a priori standard deviations of the observations and to assessing the influence of weighting on the adjustment results. Appropriate weighting proved to be especially important for short sight lines to the church tower, which, due to the method of target definition and signalization, are not directly comparable with observations to precision reflectors. We also examined the national triangle-based transformation model and assessed its quality in the Smuk area by comparing transformed coordinates with coordinates determined independently from the new geodetic survey. A comparison of the new and historical survey results also enabled us to assess the stability of the preserved points and revealed a displacement of one of the points of the former network. In addition to presenting the results of the new survey, the thesis highlights the importance of properly archived geodetic data and permanently monumented control points. These make it possible to reconstruct past conditions, compare surveys from different time periods, and assess the quality of transformations and the long-term stability of the geodetic control framework.
