  • Status of Cadastral Mapping in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and its Effect on Building a Digital Cadastral Database
  • Abstract:  Due to the political complications that the occupied Palestinian lands have suffered over time, mainly in the past century, the status of cadastral mapping in the West Bank and Gaza, as all other facets of life, has been greatly affected and is now still in a rudimentary situation.  This, in turn, has hindered most activities concerned with the management, planning, development and effective use of land.  This paper will shed light on the historical development of cadastral mapping in the West Bank and Gaza, indicate existing problems and suggest a methodology to complete the survey maps and build a digital cadastral database.

  • Surveying for Engineers, Second Edition
  • Published at:Not Found
  •             This book aims to provide the reader with a concise modern book on surveying principles, techniques and equipment.  Many books around the world have been written which deal with the subject of surveying; however, two main factors have given me the motivation to add another book to the library.  First, the need to re-present the material in a way that copes better with the recent developments in surveying instrumentation, computer technology and surveying practice.  As an academic and a licensed surveyor with more than six years of practical field experience, I included a description of several easy and some new techniques for performing surveying operations that I did not see in other surveying books (example: layout of transition-circular-transition curves in section 9.2.2.5).  Second, the realized need to provide the surveying and engineering students at the Palestinian and Arabic universities with an accessible inexpensi

  • أشكال قطع الأراضي في فلسطين ومعوقات ذلك على استخداماتها
  • Published at:Not Found
  • ملخص:
    المتتبع والمتبصر لأشكال قطع الأراضي في فلسطين سواء المخصصة منها للأغراض العمرانية أو الزراعية أو غيرهما من الاستخدامات، يلاحظ أن هذه القطع تأخذ في معظمها أشكالاً غير منتظمة تحد بشكل كبير من قابليتها للاستخدامات المختلفة في وقت يتزايد فيه الطلب على الأرض، وتتعاظم أهميتها.
     
    هناك حاجة ملحة لإعادة النظر في تقسيمات هذه الأراضي بحيث يتم سن تشريعات وقوانين تلزم أو تشجع أصحابها على تصحيح أشكالها ما أمكن، كأن يتم دمج شريطين متجاورين من الأرض مثلاً، وإعادة تقسيمها إلى بديلين أكثر انتظاماً من الناحية الهندسية، مما يسهم في تحسين إمكانية استخدامه

  • A Cartographic Model for the Evaluation of Health Status in Less Developed Countries
  • Published at:Not Found
  • Abstract:
     
                With the advent of digital computer mapping facilities and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) came new methods of data acquisition, storage, retrieval, analysis and presentation.  GIS, together with cartographic modeling techniques, helps modelers to address complex environmental and socio-economic issues and analyze the results in an efficient and effective manner.  This will, in turn, provide decision-makers with concrete information regarding the allocation of areas in need of development. 
     
                The health status in any community is a major indicator of the well being of people.  This paper will specifically outline a cartographic model for the analysis and evaluation of health conditions using GIS.  Such a model, if implemented, would provide planners and developers with information about resource al
