Sažetak
The paper first discusses the issue of existence of ethical codes in the geodetic profession in Croatia. Although there is the Croatian Geodetic Society, it does not have a code of ethics. There is the Code of Professonal Ethics of Croatian Architects and Engineers in Civil Engineering created in 1998, which is valid for geodesists who are members of the Croatian Chamber of Architects and Engineers in Civil Engineering. The Faculty of Geodesy is a part of the University of Zagreb, but the University does not have its ethical code yet. According to the High Education Law, the Croatian parliament was supposed to nominate the Committee for Ethics in Science and High Education, but as far as the authors know, such a committee has not been established yet. We also have not found a code of conduct of officials in public or state service in Croatia. Furthermore, the paper considers the ethical codes for geodesists in other countries, such as e.g. Australia, USA and Slovenia, and in professional societies (Fédération Européenne d'Associations Nationales d'Ingénieurs European - FEANI, International Federation of Surveyors - FIG, American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing - ASPRS). The example of research of ethics in public services in countries members of the European Union shows an increase in interest for that subject. Finally, the paper describes in details the Code of Ethics of FIG. The authors recommend its adoption in Croatia.
