Israeli Violations against Palestinian Rights to Land and Housing -2014 - English 

Methodology

Information gathering is done in accordance with the International coalition for the right of property and residence: a specialized team of field observers follow Israeli violations up. Information on ongoing violations is usually obtained from news agencies, victims’ calls, interviews, and field visits. Information is then classified and distributed to field observers based on location. The field observers conduct visits to the attacked sites, record testimonies, take pictures, and let the victims fill special survey to obtain as much information as possible about the aggression. The gathered information is used to produce case studies, news feeds, and monthly and quarterly reports.

All of the reported aggressions are recorded electronically on the LRC’s central database.It is worthy to mention that produced reports include pictures and maps and/or aerial photographs designed by the GIS unit at LRC in order to provide visual aid needed to better understand the extent of the aggression. In the end, these reports are published on LRC’s webpage www.lrcj.org and the program’s special website which is developed and maintained in cooperation with the Applied Research Institute – Jerusalem (ARIJ) www.poica.org in both Arabic and English as well as being often published in the form of booklets and books.
