ABSTRACT This article compares the amount of land designated for various uses in the Jewish and Arab municipalities in Israel between the years 2003–13. It is generally accepted that the Arab-Jewish conflict in Israel is heavily based on land ownership. This conflict still has implications for the policies and actions of the State of Israel on the one hand, and the attitudes and behaviours of the Arab population on the other. Two main conclusions emerge from this article. The first is that in 2013, the area per capita used for residential living in Arab localities was larger, presumably because of the lack of high-rise buildings. The second conclusion is that the areas designated for economic and public purposes in the Arab sector are much smaller. The Israeli government should therefore allocate additional government land to the Arab local authorities.

2003-13 年犹太和阿拉伯城市土地利用的变化

摘要 本文比较了 2003-13 年间以色列犹太人和阿拉伯城市指定用于各种用途的土地数量。人们普遍认为，以色列的阿拉伯-犹太冲突在很大程度上取决于土地所有权。这场冲突一方面仍然对以色列国的政策和行动产生影响，另一方面对阿拉伯人民的态度和行为产生影响。这篇文章得出了两个主要结论。一是2013年阿拉伯地区人均居住面积较大，想必是因为缺乏高层建筑。第二个结论是，阿拉伯部门指定用于经济和公共目的的区域要小得多。
