Professional ethics for licensed surveyors : the proposal for a social contract
Adler, Ron and Moshe Benhamu
The land resources in Israel have national value, with social, legal and economic aspects and implications. The surveying and mapping practitioners constitute an important factor in registration and management of these resources [2]. This is the background for a professional and ethical commitment of the surveyor in his practice. The surveyorrs activities, even if performed for a specific client have a long term influence on the public, lasting for generations [1]. The information and data collected at a certain time and for a certain purpose will be available to the public in general for a variety of purposes, becoming the infrastructure for planning and development. Notwithstanding is a fact that over the years the surveying profession became one of the most advanced, one can observe a certain lowing in the surveyors standards, sometimes reaching a level which can cause to damage the user and devalue the profession - This causes the customers to see the surveyorrs community in an unfavorable manner.
