While the civilizational critique of “Western” democracy (the origins of which can be traced to Imperial Germany and Meiji Japan) has contributed to democratic decline in the region, there has also been push back by offering an interpretation based on East Asia's major religious traditions to show that “Asian values” are not incompatible with democracy. These apparently contradictory discourses have been dialectically related in the post–Cold War era: authoritarian rulers reacted to universalist claims about democracy with assertions of cultural particularism which, in turn, triggered a reaction by Asian democrats who pointed to the liberal character of world religions practiced in the region. Less well known is a pro-democratic stance in Asia rooted in the region's major religious traditions. The most famous expression was the “Asian values” discourse of government-linked intellectuals in Singapore and Malaysia, but there has also been a “political Confucianist” critique of “Western democracy” in China as well as claims that only “Thai-style democracy” is appropriate in Thailand. It performance is tested against the RTK-GPS results.In the last three decades, a number of Asian thinkers supportive of, or opposed to, authoritarian rule have developed culture-based theories of democracy that challenge, or buttress, a liberal, “Western” understanding of democratic rule. This paper discusses the results of a dedicated five days monitoring trial, without system reinitialisation, focusing on height performance and identification of any biases preventing Locata from being employed as a monitoring system. Prior research has identified Locata capacity for system for structural monitoring, but focused on planar positioning only. Locata is one of such system, capable of centimetre level stand-alone positioning even in difficult environments. Pseudolites share characteristics with GNSS and offer deployment flexibility, providing a optimisation of the geometry. To amend that, pseudolite systems have been suggested as an alternative or companion to GNSS.

This method’s include limitations includes accuracy, reliability and integrity dependence on the number and geometric distribution of the available satellites. Ease of use lead to the increasingly dominant position of GNSS within the market. Today’s monitoring schemes often demand fully or partly automated networks to be established, with the operations done remotely.
