Google Street View began in Israel in April 2012. Israel is the first country in the Middle East to see non-museum Street View. First, on April 3, the interior of the Israel Museum was introduced. Then on April 19, three days ahead of the planned formal launch, Jerusalem and the country's two largest cites, Tel Aviv, and Haifa, along with a number of other landmarks, came public.〔 〕 On January 16, 2013, dozens of cities and towns around Israel, along with some road connections, were added. While seen as a boost to tourism in the country, the feature has also brought up concerns that it could aid terrorists, which have been addressed. The imagery even offers views of some contested sites. ==Background== When Street View was originally considered for Israel in 2011, multiple concerns arose, particularly with security, since Israel has had a long history of terrorist attacks. US law already restricts the resolution of satellite imagery taken of several countries, including Israel, for the protection of security of those countries. Israeli officials authorized Street View after three months of negotiations to define conditions to protect privacy.〔 Consideration favoring Street View was that it would provide a boost to the economy by boosting tourism.〔 〕 The Israeli government has permitted Street View to be in the country provided the following conditions have been met: *Allowing any court cases related to Street View to take place in Israeli courts *Google will not challenge Israeli law *Google provides a method for users to request images be blurred or removed *Google must inform the public in advance of its planned routes. *Images would not reveal license plate numbers or home addresses and would obscure the faces of people on streets〔 The Israeli Intelligence Minister refused to divulge details in the final security arrangement that was made. Filming of Street View in Israel began in September 2011.〔 This included the use of tricycles to film areas of the Old City and other paths not accessible by motor vehicles.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Google Street View in Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
