About Dunam
A dunam (also dönüm or donum) is a unit of land area equal to exactly 1,000 m², used across Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and former Ottoman Empire territories. One dunam equals one stremma and one decare. The modern metric dunam of 1,000 m² was standardised during the British Mandate period; older Ottoman dunams varied by region (approximately 919-1,600 m²). It remains the primary land measurement unit for agricultural and property records throughout the Middle East, with properties routinely listed in dunams in Israeli and Palestinian real estate.
About Square Furlongs
A square furlong is an area unit equal to a square with sides of one furlong (220 yards or ~201.17 m), approximately 40,469 m² or exactly 10 acres. The furlong (from Old English 'furrow-long') was historically the standard ploughing distance, and 10 square furlongs equals one acre - a relationship that made traditional land surveying convenient. While square furlongs are rarely used in official modern measurements, they appear in historical land surveys, British horse racing contexts, and as a handy reference for visualising 10-acre blocks.
