Evaluation of indicators of cadastral assessment

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2013
Latvia

To justify the importance of the indicators affecting the cadastral value, surveys were carried out, by help of which opinions of different respondent groups were summarized. The interviewed respondent groups were real property specialists of municipalities and experts. The thematic blocks of the questions included in the questionnaires are designed with the aim to clarify the quality of the indicators of cadastral assessment models, as well as their significance.

Impacts of Livestock Operations: A Gaussian Dispersion Hedonic Approach

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2005

The paper studies the impacts of livestock facilities on property values, and extends the hedonic housing price models by explicitly modeling the way odor is dispersed in the atmosphere. Using a Gaussian dispersion model of odor, our estimation allows us to separately estimate the environmental effects and other effects, and to evaluate the marginal contributions of livestock facilities depending on their location.

Development strategies for green fodder production in Hungary

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2011
Hungary
Denmark
Europe

Arable fields make up 60 % of the total area of Hungary; in Europe, this rate is higher only in Denmark. Ecological conditions are favourable but organic matter resources in the soil have been depleted in the past 20 years and draughts threaten production in an increasing area. Animal husbandry - including the keeping of cattle, sheep and pig - has been reduced to its third in the past 20 years. P

USING SATELLITE IMAGERY IN PREDICTING KANSAS FARMLAND VALUES

Journal Articles & Books
December, 2002

Can remotely sensed imagery improve hedonic land price models? A remotely sensed variable was added to a hedonic farmland value model as a proxy for land productivity. Land cover data were used to obtain urban and recreational effects as well. The urban and recreational effects were statistically significant but economically small. The remotely sensed productivity variable was statistically significant and economically large, indicating that knowing the "greenness" of the land increased the explanatory power of the hedonic price model.

DYNAMICS OF LAND-USE CHANGE IN NORTH ALABAMA: IMPLICATIONS OF NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2007

The paper presents an analytical tool that could help in understanding the consequences of individual decisions associated with land use change by identifying their potential impacts to a community, county or region. The tool outlines the potential costs and benefits of land conversion activities to decision makers in Madison County, Alabama. The results show that the loss of agricultural lands erodes the county's ability to maintain revenue/cost equilibrium across the selected land use types, thus reducing the county's ability to provide current levels of service to residents.

Monitoring land use and land cover change using remote sensing, markov analysis, population and landscape metrics analysis : a case study from Çanakkale (1987-2010)

Policy Papers & Briefs
December, 2013
Turkey

Population growth in cities along with migration from rural areas dramatically increases the Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes. This study was conducted in Çanakkale province consisting of central part and its vicinities where rapid population growth and development have been taken place. This study aimed to determine LULC changes using remotely sensed data and geographical information system (GIS) techniques between 1987 and 2010.

A Spatial Simultaneous Growth Equilibrium Modeling of Agricultural Land Development in the Northeast United States

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2006

This study aims to understand the relationship between regional growth in population, employment, and per capita income, and agricultural land values and development in the Northeast United States. A system of spatial simultaneous equations is estimated using three-stage-least squares on county level data. Results indicate that regional growth positively influences agricultural land values and negatively affects the stock of agricultural lands. Farm performance and some farmland protection policies were not effective in preserving farmland.

AN ANALYSIS OF LAND DISTRIBUTION AND CONCENTRATION IN BOLIVIA

Journal Articles & Books
December, 1991
Bolivia

Despite the implementation of Bolivia's land reform in 1953, the agrarian structure continues to have an extreme concentration of land. Furthermore, in the last two decades regional agrarian structure have been aggravated by population pressures and a lack of new technological
practices for most small scale farmers and peasants. Public and private institutions and urban residents observe hundreds of landless and near-landless families in the cities searching for jobs. Most end up becoming part of the growing unemployed labor force in the urban sector.

Stability evaluation of the number of farmers farms and declared agricultural land in Lithuania

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2016
Latvia
Lithuania

The beginning of the restitutional land reallocation reform in 1991 brought a rapid change in agricultural land utilisation and user groups resulting in the decrease of state land users’ categories and the growth of private agricultural land areas used by farmers and other natural and legal entities. The aim of the article is to analyse the stability of farmers farms and their agricultural areas in Lithuania during the period between 2009 and 2014.

Farmers' perceptions of agricultural land after accession to the EU - case study

Conference Papers & Reports
December, 2016
Poland
Latvia

Poland's accession to the European Union and the resulting availability of direct payments to farmland owners increased the prices of agricultural property. The main aim of the study was to identify the most desirable attributes of agricultural property and to verify whether those features affect the prices of traded farmland. The survey was conducted in the region of Warmia and Mazury.
