Regions & Boundaries map data for Israel

Regions & Boundaries map data provides a geographic breakdown of Israel for visualisation and analysis purposes. Using GIS or mapping software, colours can be assigned to these regions to form a thematic map, also known as a choropleth map. Thematic maps are visually powerful and a simple but effective way to communicate a variable (e.g. sales figures) across a geographic area. Regions can be political/administrative, postcode or small areas often connected with a census. With seamless transitions across borders with neighbouring countries, this data product is ideal for international projects.

Further enabling geographic analysis, Regions & Boundaries for Israel can also be supplemented with statistics such as socio-demographics, purchasing power and consumer profiles. This product is available in a number of popular GIS data formats.

Country Summary

Situated in western Asia, the State of Israel shares land borders with Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, as well as the Palestinian territories of West Bank and Gaza. Its coastlines run along the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Israel is the only country in the world with a majority Jewish population and defines itself as the nation-state of the Jewish people. The economic capital city is Tel Aviv, but the seat of government is in Jerusalem.
Israel was one of the earliest lands to be settled out of Africa. Its significance historically, religiously and culturally is huge. It was incorporated into empires ranging from the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the Roman Empire, through domination during the crusades by Christian as well as Muslim rule. In the 1500s it became absorbed into the Ottoman Empire. The late nineteenth century witnessed the establishment of Zionism amongst Jewish people and supporting of the concept of the return to a Jewish homeland in Palestine, traditionally known by the Jewish population as the Land of Israel. The exodus of displaced Jews from Eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth century began this migration to modern-day Israel. After WWII the United Nations recommended the creation of independent Arab and Jewish states and the State of Israel declared independence. Since then, Israel has been in a state of war and unrest with Palestinian and Arab neighbours. Despite years of mediation and some peace treaties, a full resolution has not been reached. Israel is a parliamentary democracy, divided into six main administrative districts.
Israel has high levels of education and its resulting technology boom and economic diversity, and success has paid testament to this. After USA, Israel has the second largest number of start-up companies. It is limited on natural resources but has intensified its agricultural offering to become largely self-sufficient. It exports cut diamonds, chemicals, industrial equipment, and textiles. It is a major research and development hub and a major innovator in water conservation. Tourism - particularly religious tourism - also contributes heavily to the economy. Israel is very heavily urbanised with over 90% of the population residing in or around cities.
The cultural heritage of Israel is rich and has influences from the Arab world, the ancient world and the rest of the world due to the Jewish diaspora. It is the only country which follows the Hebrew calendar. Israel is home to the greatest number of museums, per capita, than any other country and is the guardian of the history of Jewish peoples-ranging from The Dead Sea Scrolls to the Holocaust. There is a strong music tradition in Israel, with global influence in abundance. Hebrew is the official language and poetry is a strong literary medium. The leading sports are soccer, basketball and chess.
On the world stage Israel is a member of the United Nations.
