The local organizing committee was headed by Ietsune Tsubokawa. 17 participants were from Japan and another 19 from abroad. A total of nine presentation sessions were held under five symposiums themes.

Following are the themes and convener of the meeting;

Symp 3: Recent crustal movements and phenomena associated with earthquakes and volcanism (P Vyskocil, Czechoslovakia)
Symp 4a: Results of high-precision gravity measurements, absolute and relative (E Groten, FGR)
Symp 4b: Geoid definition and determination (G Lachapelle Canada)
Symp 4c: Advances in geodetic refraction (FK Brunner, Australia)
Symp 4d: Marine Geodesy (G Seeber, FGR)

Subjek aturcara komputer adalah sebahagian dari subjek teras. Maka ia diajar berterusan setahun penuh. Pada penggal kedua berbagai topik yang amat berguna diajar untuk membolehkan aturcara fortran dibangun sebaik mungkin. Banyak masa diguna untuk berkunjung ke makmal komputer khususnya bagi menaip kad fortran. Boleh dikata pelajar ukur tanah yang mendominasi pemakaian makmal komputer. 

Pada tahun 1982 utm pula baru saja memula kursus sains komputer dengan batch pertama masuk ke tahun pertama pengajian. Namun pelajar sains komputer tahun pertama tidak ramai maka mereka tidaklah sibuk berkerumun sebagaimana pelajar ukur.
