The aim of this study is modelling spatial relationship between the number of geodetic control points and land use as well as the analysis of spatial distribution of geodetic control with respect of Polish national regulation. The results are related to surveying districts, theretofore grouped according to land use types, namely: built-up, rural, forest, and miscellaneous. The conducted study proved that geodetic control points are scattered with significantly visible groupings along roads, railways and built-up area. It also shows that information on the land use has a vital influence on the number of geodetic control points and indicates where geodetic control needs densification.
