Application of GIS technologies for monitoring land resources in Kazakhstan
Maintaining agriculture has always been a government level issue. The State is implementing a number of programs and projects, as well as increasing the amount of funding to improve the agro industrial complex and the condition of agricultural land. Kazakhstan having great land and resource potential should develop a strategy for the rational land use and protection of land.
Community education and integrated organization of rural areas based on land consolidation processes in Poland
Any activities aimed at rural area development should not disregard the inhabitants who are "the tools" that implement given mechanisms. To a large extent, the effectiveness of social activities is determined by the participants’ expectations towards the projects and their knowledge of the subject. Land consolidation projects are the ideal tools for rural development. Land consolidation may be described as the planned readjustment of land ownership patterns with the aim of creating larger and more rational land holdings.
Planning as trigger for land use changes
In Poland significant changes in landscape intensified after the political transformation in late 1980’s. One of the signs of the changes are more transformations of agricultural land into developed land (industry, housing, services). At the same time, abandoned land started overgrowing with trees and brushwood. These are a result of changes in living and housing conditions, technical progress and changes in legislation. Local spatial plan is a planning act that defines the designation of the land in Poland.
Identification of factors influencing the transaction price of agricultural real estate
Since 2004, we have witnessed an increased demand in the acquisition of agricultural property, both by individual farmers and entities not previously associated with agriculture. A significant increase in the transaction prices of agricultural real estate in recent years has been caused by the impact of limited agricultural land supply and external factors related to the functioning of Polish agriculture in the economy of the European Community. The value of agricultural real estate is affected by many factors that are taken into account when determining the value of real estate.
