Survey of Israel (SOI)

The British Mandate established the country's first survey department in 1920, known as the Survey Department of Palestine. Survey of Israel is the survey and mapping department of the Israeli Ministry of Housing and Construction. It is the successor of the Survey Department of Palestine.

Survey of Israel is the goverment agency for Mapping, Geodesy, Cadastre and Geoinformatics. The Survey is responsible for the national infrastructure in these areas as well as for a number of official functions.

The Survey of Israel pays particular attention to construction infrastructure, security and emergency services, environmental protection, tourism and research and development.
In the area of cadastre, the Survey leads the activities leading to land registration (Land Surveys Department). It is responsible for defining the boundaries of blocks and parcels in terms of coordinates and plans. The Survey deals annually with the continuation of settlement as well as with new subdivisions (re-parcellation) that express a change in the rights to the land or its use, or both.
