Algorithm for purposes of determining real estate markets efficiency with help of land administration system

Abstract The real estate market (REM) concerns many difficult and complicated issues. The subject of interest is the specificity of market and the processes taking place in its plane. The complexity and heterogeneity of real estate, the multitude of actors and their behaviours and finally various factors of efficiency and effectiveness of the real estate market, all create many difficulties in analysing and describing it. In this context, it is important to build a comprehensive real estate information system (land administration system, LAS), which will provide the relevant information, acting as a decision support system. LAS functioning properly will allow spatial and statistical analysis, archiving and also data visualisation. The main goal of this article is a proposed algorithm determining the efficiency of real estate markets with help of LAS, using rough sets.

The potential of Web-GIS and geovisual analytics in the context of marine cadastre

The importance of the marine environment to human existence makes it imperative that information models represent the multidimensional nature of reality as closely as possible in order to facilitate good governance. Information regarding jurisdiction, as well as the effects of formal law and community interests on the marine environment should be stored in a marine cadastre. The aim of the presented research is to present a concept marine cadastre structure for the EU Member State of Poland as well as show the potential of the application of open standards and Geovisual Analytics for the purpose of marine cadastre data integration, dissemination and analysis with the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS). The paper also presents a sample implementation of the proposed concept in the form of a Web-GIS for analysis and visualisation of risk assessment results in the context of a marine cadastre for the country of Poland.

Land Administration System for Sustainable Development – Case Study of Poland

Abstract The global idea of building state Land Administration Systems was to determine the infrastructures for the implementation of land policies and land management strategies in support of sustainable development. This new paradigm in science has directed many studies towards the development of concepts for the integration of various spatial information systems in the framework of interoperable infrastructures. Each infrastructure includes institutional arrangements, a legal framework, processes, standards, land information, management and dissemination systems, and technologies required to support allocation, land markets, valuation, control of use, and development of interests in land. Many countries are in the process of developing Land Administration Systems (LAS). Databases of Land Information Systems (LIS), including cadastres, land registries, tax registries and land-use plans, are integrated to improve Land Information System functions and provide effective support for other systems and economic processes. This article analyzes the LAS construction process in Poland with particular emphasis on the functionality of the infrastructure supporting the widely understood sustainable development of land, the economy and society. The presented solution may be an important model (template) for other national infrastructures.

The use of GIS tools for sustainable management of municipal housing stock in Poland

The management of social housing stock by balancing the housing needs of local communities plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of urban municipalities. In the present study, the management of municipal housing stock (MHS) was evaluated for compliance with sustainability principles using GIS tools. Special attention was given to the spatial, technical, tenure-related and organisational aspects of sustainable MHS management. The importance of spatial data and spatial analyses for assessments of MHS management was demonstrated. The research was based on a case study analysing MHS management in the Olsztyn municipality.

Automatic Detection and Monitoring of Cyanobacterial Blooms in the Context of the Marine Cadastre

In the wake of the European and global spatial data infrastructures (SDI) it is important to build information systems which use and serve thematic data in compliance with the INSPIRE Directive. In the context of hydrographic data, the Directive requires EU member states to collect and share information on maritime areas divided into regions and sub-regions, as well as coastal zone management areas. These data are part of recently developed marine cadastres. According to the INSPIRE Directive the marine cadastres should be supplemented with information on the physical condition of the seas as well as on the specific natural characteristics and phenomena occurring in the seas. The latter can include dynamic information on marine pollution such as cyanobacterial blooms. The paper presents the concept of dynamic satellite-based cyanobacteria bloom detection for the purpose of its analysis in the context of marine cadastre.

Dynamics of Legal Changes in Polish Cadastre

In more developed countries, contemporary cadastral system design is premised on the need for credibility, accuracy, timeliness, flexibility, completeness, and availability. Cadastral Systems as the official land information systems for the entire country operate on the basis of clearly defined principles contained in the legislation. Any need to modernize the system require changes in legislation. This paper focuses specifically on cadastral system flexibility, which stems directly from the dynamics of law. The method used to develop the approach is based upon dynamics of legal changes in the context of the international development concepts. The approach is then applied to the Polish cadastral system. It is found that a measure of real estate cadastre legal flexibility is it’s ability to react to dynamic, changing rules and situation. Globally, this means that the proposed approach can be adopted to determine cadastral flexibility in terms of its legal framework.
