The authors study actions of the abelian group \(G={\mathbb Z}/p^m\) on surfaces, where \(p\) is a prime integer. The authors present a complete topological classification of \(G\)-actions on surfaces. Notions of strong and weak equivalence classes of actions are given. Conditions for actions to be equivalent in the two senses are given. The authors use the fact that a fixed point-free action of \(G\) induces an alternating bilinear form of \(G\).
