The logical, legal and technical support of surveying, mapping and geoinformation is considered as three key parts in natural resource management. How to fully implement the technical advantages and technical support of surveying, mapping and geoinformation in natural resource management is described in this paper. The characteristics of natural resources, the connotation and application requirements of natural resource management are analyzed. Combining with the layout of tasks related to scientific and technological innovation and development of natural resources in the Outline of Scientific and Technological Innovation and Development Planning for Natural Resources, the main tasks of surveying, mapping and geoinformation technology in natural resource management are put forward.
