Technical aspects of converting analogical cadastral system to digital system : a case study in Israel

Jarroush, Jad

In the year 2006, the Survey of Israel (SOI) published a tender for converting sixty cadastral blocks, bounded to the Israeli seashores, to digital cadastre. The mission was defined clearly; for each parcel in each block the coordinates of the boundary points should be computed in the updated national Israel grid, according to the Israeli surveyors' regulations instructions. In addition, a new and novel methodology for fulfilling the mission for better results was asked. The paper presents several issues regarding the mission of converting existing cadastral blocks to digital cadastre concept, some of which: defining the cadastral process recommended by the surveyors' regulations, defining the new methodology concepts; their advantages and disadvantages, exposing the mathematical procedures as well as the geodetic ones for achieving calculated accuracies, homogeneous results and finally trying to optimize the accuracy level of the result.
