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. ...
Land consolidation is a complex process requiring the consideration of rich resources of data on the land under consolidation, preferences of participants of the consolidation regarding arrangement of newly projected parcels, performance of a number of spatial analyses, and taking decisions concerning optimal design solutions among many potential scenarios. Such a multi-aspect process requires the development of tools in the environment being able to face these criteria. Such an environment is currently constituted by Geographical Information Systems. The technological advantages of those systems in the process of transformation of rural areas are appreciated in a number of countries. This is exemplified by numerous international publications on the subject. In Poland, however, the systems are not fully exploited in the execution of particular stages of the land consolidation process. This article presents an example application of spatial analysis in the spatial management of rural areas. It assesses the risk of water erosion of a loess area in the northern part of the Harta village (Podkarpackie Voivodeship) based on basic criteria, namely water conditions, land use, and land relief, with the application of ArcGIS ESRI software. The source data (the registration database, ortophotomap, and soil-agricultural map at a scale of 1:5000) were ...
Real estate turnover is a spatial phenomenon, because the location of properties refers to geographic space. Transaction prices are attribute values which distribution in geographic space can be subject to an analysis. The analysis of spatial autocorrelation of transaction prices of properties permits detection of local outlier transactions, detection of clusters of high and low prices, and the assessment of the statistical significance of such clusters. Transaction prices of undeveloped properties intended for building development obtained in suburban areas, and the location of such properties may suggest the intensity of the occurring processes of functional transformations. Results of statistical analyses of the spatial distribution of unitary transaction prices of such properties may constitute an element of specific characteristic of rural communes located in the vicinity of large cities. The article presents results of the analyses and their interpretation for selected rural communes of the Otwock district. The study was conducted in the scope of research grant entitled: "Spatial analysis of undeveloped land property transactions for the purposes of prediction of unfavourable changes in land use at variance with the idea of sustainable development of suburban areas", implemented in 2015 at the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography of the Warsaw University ...
