Land use is the part of the earth's surface that is used in a uniform manner. The information on the extent and type of land uses is entered into the register of land and buildings. The data contained in this register are the standardized descriptions of the physical characteristics of the objects in question.

The implementation of the said processes often requires the introduction of land use changes. These changes bring about important consequences, especially in land taxation.This paper is an attempt to outline the basic problems related to the determination of the extent and type of land uses.

Also, other public registers and individual users, including property owners and contractors of surveying works, use the data stored in this database. The Author ...
