A GIS-related multi layers 3D cadastre in Israel
Benhamu, Moshe
The general density of the population in central and northern parts of Israel (some 480 inhabitants per square kilometer) is higher then in Germany, Belgium, Japan or the Netherlands. Moreover, during the past decade the population increased from six millions to nine million by 2020, and 13 million in 2050. To enable continued extensive land development, new options need to be found for urban development through more effective utilization of space both above and below the ground surface (as well as beneath the sea). For promoting the multi-layer-use of land and its registration in strata, a multi layers 3D cadastre R&D project has been initiated and specified by the Survey of Israel (SOI) and had been carried out by a team of 6 experts from several disciplines. The project has been successfully completed during August 2004. The principal objectives of the R&D project were to find geodetic, cadastral, planning, engineering and legal solutions, for utilizing above and below surface spaces, thus defining the characteristics of the future analytical, 3D and multilayer cadastre that will complement the existing 2D cadastre. This R&D project was one of the steps undertaken by the SOI during the last 6 years concerning the efforts to replace the existing two-dimensional (2D) cadastral system by a three-dimensional (3D) one. This paper introduces the creating spatial sub-parcels, as the proposed solution for the registration of rights in space and the recommendations for the immediate implementation of the 3D cadastre in Israel.
