What is a Decare? History, origin and usage

The decare is a metric land unit of 1,000 square metres, equal to 10 ares or one-tenth of a hectare. It corresponds to the modern metric dunam, whose name comes from the Ottoman Turkish donum (from donmek, 'to turn'), originally the area a team of oxen could plough in a day.

The decare and its dunam equivalent are used in Norway, Turkey and parts of the Balkans, while the metric dunam of 1,000 square metres adopted in 1928 is standard in Israel and Palestine. It is a convenient mid-size unit between the are and the hectare.

One decare equals one metric dunam, exactly 1,000 square metres, and ten decares make one hectare. The Ottoman dunam was a regional cousin of the English acre and the Greek stremma, all rooted in a day's ploughing.

What is a Murabba? History, origin and usage

Murabba is the Hindi and Urdu word for 'square', and as a land unit it dates to the British canal-colony schemes of late-19th and early-20th-century Punjab. Large irrigated tracts were laid out as rectangular 'squares' of 25 acres so they could be cleanly subdivided into 25 one-acre killas for allotment to settlers.

It is still used for large agricultural holdings and in rural revenue documents in Punjab and Haryana, in both India and Pakistan. A murabba represents a substantial farm rather than a residential plot.

One murabba equals 25 killa, which is 25 acres or about 10.1 hectares. Its internal 5-by-5 grid of killas is why it is also simply called a 'square'.

Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.

Accuracy and method

Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 daa = 0.009884215murabba), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for decare-to-murabba conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.

Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
