The invention discloses a method for collecting onsite surveying and positioning information for rural distribution network designs. The method comprises the following steps: A) determining the starting point of the route on the site and drawing a sketch on a cell phone with the starting point as well as the position of the starting point; B) surveying along the engineering route to determining the locations of piles and transformers, using the GPS function of the cell phone to have the surveying personnel's location marked on an internet based map and drawing a sketch containing the locations of piles and transformers on the cell phone; C) using the cell phone to determine onsite surveying work associated points, confirm pile types and the route on the internet based map and drawing conductive wire connection routes on the sketches in the cell phone; and D) uploading the onsite surveying associated data and the sketches with complete conductive wire connection routes to a WEB server terminal through a cell phone terminal. According to the method provided in the invention, the surveying work of surveying personnel can be monitored. Collected data are complete, and as a result, greatly reducing the workload of design men.
