Establishment of coordinate based cadastre in Negev Desert

Klebanov, Michael et al

The Survey of Israel (SOI) has embarked upon an ambitious project to modernize its cadastre system and calculate precise coordinates for every parcel corner. Like in many other countries, cadastre data in Israel are archived in various formats (e.g., paper and digital), diverse forms (e.g., digitized boundaries, subdivision plans, survey notes) dissimilar methods of computation (chain distances or polar measurements) and even different coordinates systems. The new coordinate based cadastre will create uniformity and eliminate the time and labor consuming process of data integration and adjustment of dimensions and measurements. Technologically, advanced GIS tools will be used to store, manage and analyze these cadastral data system along with GPS technology which will be used to identify the coordinate based corners in the field.
