There seems to be a common misconception worldwide that the work of a Land Surveyor is less professional or prestigious than that of many other professions.  It seems that there is a lack of public awareness of the role of a Land Surveyor in everything that is built.  In order to demystify the role of the profession and to explain the value of what we as Land Surveyors do for the development of and maintenance of a strong land titling and information system, and thus the ability for a State to assign value to real property, in assessment for taxation and other revenue, there needs to be more dialogue on the subject.  Does the profession of Land Surveying suffer this lack of public awareness in Israel?
