Summary:

The study presents a scenario of expansion of residential development in the Minsk poviat based on analysis of the local market characteristics of undeveloped land. A spatial analysis model was developed allowing for estimation of the number and value of market transactions in relation to selected location factors positively and negatively affecting (onerous neighbourhood) the value of real estate. Preferences for a given location factors were estimated on the basis of the developed graphic method presenting analysis results. Basing on the preference evaluations, significance of individual factors was determined. The resulting map illustrating the expected expansion of land development in the study area was prepared. The study area covered selected communes of the Mińsk poviat strongly affected by the local urban centre - Mińsk Mazowiecki and the central city - Warsaw, i.e.: Cegłów, Dębe Wielkie, Jakubów, Mińsk Mazowiecki, Siennica, and Stanisławów. In order to meet the objective of the study, the ArcGIS ESRI geographical information system was applied, along with data from the real estate price and value register, database of topographic objects, cadastre information included on the iGeoMap website, and the WMS Geoportal service.
