Full textAbstract:
It has been proven that modern emergency conditions require a rethinking of approaches to the use of real estate as an important factor affecting regional development. Unfortunately, problematic issues related to socio-economic disparities, a decrease in the efficiency of land relations, and the possibilities of using modern information technologies are deepening. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the modern European experience of land administration and information provision of the formation and use of real estate based on the use of a multi-purpose cadastre. The issue of defining real estate as a complex concept that takes into account spatial, urban planning, investment and environmental support is ignored.
The purpose of the study is a comprehensive definition of real estate, taking into account the influence of spatial, urban planning, investment, environmental factors at the regional level. To achieve the set goal, the following tasks were completed:
- formation of a theoretical basis for the definition of real estate;
- characteristics of regulatory legal support regarding the definition of real estate.
For the formation and implementation of a multi-purpose cadastre, real estate is defined as a set of real estate objects, land, and other structures that are affected by various signs and characteristics (spatial, urban planning, investment, environmental), the use of which creates conditions and ensures the territorial development of regions.
Based on the proposed definition of real estate, scientifically based recommendations for the development and implementation of the multi-purpose cadastre were characterized based on the results of their level assessment and modeling, which made it possible to single out directions for increasing the level of information provision and application of the multi-purpose cadastre for increasing the efficiency of real estate use at the regional level.

Abstract Green building is an important component of sustainable real estate market development, and one of the reasons is that the construction industry consumes a high amount of resources. Energy consumption of construction industry results in greenhouse gas emissions, so green buildings, energy systems, building technologies and other aspects play an important role in sustainable development of real estate market, construction and environmental development. The aim of the research is to analyse environmental aspects of sustainable real estate market development, focusing on importance of green buildings at the industry level and related energy aspects. Literature review, historical, statistical data analysis and logical access methods have been used in the research. The conducted research resulted in high environmental rationale and importance of environment-friendly buildings, and there are many green building benefits during the building life cycle. Future research direction is environmental information process and its models.

Abstract The tendencies of the development of real estate market could affect the tendencies within the real estate development. The development of the real estate market could be influenced by the variety of factors, depending on the economic system of the country and other factors. The aim of the research is to analyse the tendencies in the Latvian real estate market, by paying particular attention to its influencing factors and sustainable real estate development. The literature review, comparative, historical, statistical analysis, observation and logical access methods have been used in the research. The research provides an interdisciplinary view on the topic. Particular attention is paid to the case of Latvia. The research can be used to promote the importance of sustainability and sustainable development using different forms, mostly economic and environmental ones. Changes within the economic dimension, including changes of real estate market prices, and other significant aspects of real estate development can influence the sustainability of the real estate market in general and may affect the financial results of market participants. Thus, the research can also be useful for real estate developers for a planned, balanced and financially successful entrepreneurship in the changing environment.

Full textAbstract:
Improving communities and the urban built environment to promote good health, wellness, and wellbeing has become a top priority globally. This growing trend, evident also in the Sustainable Development Goals’ urgent call for action, has a significant influence on the real estate sustainable development process, which is mostly expressed through design, and is understood as a key value creator in the real estate sector, for all dimensions of the build environment. In order to shed further light on this complex matter, with reference to the perceived impact of sustainable real estate design upon wellbeing, cross-sectional data collected through a survey (n = 150, RR = 75%) were used. The results, obtained from descriptive statistics, regression analysis, variables correlation, and partial least squares-structural equation modeling analysis that incorporated the assessment of measurement and structural models, suggest a positive correlation among the design elements and health, wellness, and wellbeing aspects. The findings are considered significant in terms of filling the gap in the currently published scholarly literature, further supporting the importance of interdisciplinary urban sustainability among real estate professionals.

Full textAbstract:
Defining of the tax impact on economic growth is of particular importance in the face of exacerbation of socio-economic, technological, environmental and other problems. Property taxes, as ones that have less distorting impact on taxpayers’ economic behavior, compared to the greater part of the rest of the known taxes, are attracting more and more attention of many researchers and are considered from the standpoint of a potential fiscal policy instrument in ensuring positive dynamics of economic development. The purpose of the article is to summarize modern approaches and research results on the impact of the real estate tax on economic growth in order to identify opportunities for implementation of this tax instruments to stimulate economic development. It has been established that foreign researchers are studying the impact of taxes on real estate from the standpoint of distorting the distribution of resources in the economy, changing the decisions of economic agents on investment issues, growth rates of the housing stock, leveling income inequality, increasing the stability of tax systems to external shocks, etc. It was revealed that most authors consider the real estate tax as one of the most non-distorting, which, with a properly designed taxation mechanism, has practically no negative impact on economic activity, and therefore little hinders economic growth, helping to reduce income inequality, increase employment and income, efficient use of land. As a local tax, it is most often seen in terms of financing local budgets and is a useful tool for raising revenues and managing public finances, since raising effective rates and broadening the property tax base can offset cuts in other taxes that are more distortive of economic behavior. In Ukraine, the attention of the authors is focused on increasing the role of property taxes in providing income to local jurisdictions and strengthening their financial stability. There is a significant lack of national researches on the impact of real estate tax on economic growth in Ukraine. Further research on the functioning of the real estate tax in the new conditions of changing paradigms of economic development and international relations, and on the impact of the real estate tax on economic growth in Ukraine could reveal new aspects of its use in the national tax system.

Abstract The stakeholders and companies in the real estate industry are facing new challenges. They must react to megatrends such as climate change, resource depletion, shift in social values, demographic change and digitalization and at the same time comply with their responsibility to society and environment. In order to contribute to sustainable development and thereby ensure the future viability of the company, it is necessary to consider the social, environmental and economic impact of any business activities and decisions. Referring to the German market, a discussion will be based on the example of housing companies to show how sustainability aspects can be integrated into the instrument of portfolio analysis. The interactions between sustainability aspects resulting of the external business environment, the respective location characteristics, the building performance and the rentability and marketability as a success factor will be discussed. In this context, it will be explained how to react dynamically to a changing environment by using adaptable weighting factors and to local location and market requirements. As a conclusion, it will be discussed how the concerns of society, the cities (housing districts) and the tenants can be taken into account in addition to the economic interests of the housing companies.

Full textAbstract:
Buildings account for 40% of global energy consumption and nearly one-third of global CO2emissions; and the resulting carbon footprint significantly exceeds that of all forms of transportation combined. Attractive opportunities exist to reduce buildings' energy use at lower costs and higher returns than in other sectors. This paper analyzes the concerns of uncertainty, in terms of transaction costs, to the real estate developers when they make decisions about investing in Building Energy Efficiency (BEE). To solicit views of developers regarding BEE investment, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 executives and architects who work in big real estate development firms covering 80% of real estate activities in Hong Kong. This research applies transaction cost economics (TCE) to study the underlying reasons resulting from uncertainty that cause market reluctance to accept BEE by choice. It provides a detailed analysis of the current situation and future prospects for BEE adoption through studying the impacts from three aspects: economic, market and policy uncertainties. It delineates the market and suggests possible policy solutions to overcome the uncertainties and to attain the large-scale deployment of energy-efficient building techniques. The findings establish the groundwork for future studies on how to choose a particular policy package and what roles government should play to solve the existing problems in BEE development.

The article discusses certain issues of the use of geographic information technologies in the field of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources in Ukraine as one of the directions of the development of the information society. The use of geoinformation technologies is essential for land reform, inventory formation of natural resources, real estate, geoinformation support for navigation corridors, environmental monitoring, integration into international structures and the global international information space. Modern geoinformation resources are created as a result of the use of the latest high technologies and have a multi-sectoral origin, multi-purpose and multi-sectoral application. One way to ensure the rational use of natural resources and the environment is to use geoinformation technologies. Modern geoinformation resources are created as a result of the use of the latest high technologies, including remote sensing of the earth, digital photogrammetry, GPS-measurement, use of databases and information computer networks, are of multi-sector origin, multi-purpose and multi-sector application. In particular, they are important for land reform, inventory formation of natural resources, real estate, geoinformation support for navigation corridors of transport, environmental monitoring, integration into international structures and global international information space. The article analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of existing natural resource inventories in Ukraine, which makes it possible to conclude that state natural cadastres are the basis on which the national geospatial data infrastructure should be created. The necessity of modernization of the system of natural resources cadastres is substantiated, which should become a multi-purpose system of accounting, management and maintenance of the proper state of the environment and the rational use of natural resources for the sustainable development of the country. This will: eliminate the duplication of work on the collection and registration of geospatial data; ensure compatibility of data from different suppliers; remove unreasonable barriers and restrictions on information interaction between data providers and consumers; promote the monitoring of natural resources and the environment; promote the creation of a national system of technical regulations and standards harmonized with international standards, which integrates Ukraine into the process of building a European geospatial data infrastructure; ensure equal and open access of consumers to geospatial data. Such a cadastral system should be integrated with the databases of other information registers. It is advisable to create natural inventories based on the use of European standards, in particular the INSPIRE - EU Spatial Information Infrastructure Directive, multidisciplinary data for environmental policy, to improve the environment, to prevent the negative effects of environmental problems.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A major topic in discussions about environmental protection is the concept of sustainable development utilizing the economic criteria enhanced by environmental, social and ethical aspects. The concept inspired a new approach to construction and paved the way for the idea of sustainable buildings. Sustainable buildings are expected to offer economic benefits to their owners and tenants that should be reflected in property values. The authors test a hypothesis that the real estate market in Poland still fails to incorporate sustainability in property valuation. The article seeks evidence in support of this hypothesis, as well as attempting to find out why the market does not pay a premium for sustainability. To accomplish the purpose of the research, a systematic literature review, an analysis of the pilot studies available in Poland and a preliminary assessment of the ability of valuation methods to reflect sustainability in property valuations are performed. The focus of the research is on the office property market, one of the fastest growing and most modern segments of the real estate market. The conclusion drawn from the research is that, of all respondents surveyed by international studies, Polish developers, property owners, tenants and valuers know the least about sustainable building and that the evidence of the benefits of sustainable building is still unavailable in the Polish real estate market. Such benefits are rather hypothesized to exist and considered theoretically rather than empirically confirmed. It is possible that the reasons for these findings are the short period of research and problems with distinguishing sustainable buildings from conventional ones, which make it difficult for valuers to reflect the benefits of sustainability in valuations. Nevertheless, a new approach to property valuation encompassing environmental, ethical and moral aspects seems necessary. This would encourage sustainable building and green investment strategies. Sustainable valuation would also be an opportunity for the development of the valuation profession.

Full textAbstract:
The adverse effects of the construction from the perspective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions are becoming increasingly important in terms of sustainable development and the growth of construction output. Construction actors involved in the process of creating buildings are responsible for the deterioration of the environmental situation. Flexible tools to motivate construction participants to actively and purposefully decarbonize construction and maintain the production and use of low-carbon technologies should be established. Multilevel institutional tools for regulating extended responsibility of construction participants through organizational and economic incentives for low-carbon design and construction and optimization of building design solutions are presented in the article. Recommendations are also provided to improve the environmental safety of construction, including the establishment of the of low-carbon certification institute for developers, based on a cost estimate of the carbon impact of buildings used in the development of compensatory and incentive measures. The proposed methodological aspects of rational low-carbon design and construction of buildings with minimal carbon footprint will allow to formulate the basic principles of functioning of the low-carbon certification institute of builders as a tool to improve their bid competitiveness.

Aspects of sustainable construction investment and real estate development (CIRED) and their interrelations during the period pre-, intra-, and post-COVID-19, are presented in the research. Applications of the topic model, environmental psychology theory, building life cycle method, and certain elements of bibliometrics, webometrics, article level metrics, altmetrics, and scientometrics make it possible to perform a quantitative analysis on CIRED. The CIRED topic model was developed in seven steps. This paper aims to present a literature review on CIRED throughout the pandemic and to look at the responses from the real estate and construction sector. This sector is a field that appears to be rapidly expanding, judging from the volume of current research papers. This review focuses on last year’s leading peer-reviewed journals. A combination of various keywords was applied for the review and the criteria for paper selections included construction investment, real estate development, civil engineering, COVID-19, and sustainability, as well as residential, industrial, commercial, land, and special purpose real estate, along with their risks, strategies, and trends. The articles reviewed for this paper, which analyzes three hypotheses, look at pre-, intra-, and post-pandemic CIRED. The three hypotheses were validated by analyzing scientific publications from around the world. Two innovative elements make this study stand out among the most advanced research on pre-, intra-, and post-pandemic CIRED. The first of the two innovations is the integrated analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19-related national policies, and business investment strategies relevant to CIRED and the interests of investors as well as on the impact a CIRED policy and investors make on the spread of COVID-19. In addition, this research demonstrates a marked increase in the effectiveness of a CIRED analysis, when the life cycle of a CIRED, the involved stakeholders with their own individual interests, the COVID-19 situation, and the external micro-, meso-, and macro-environments are covered comprehensively as a single entity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper demonstrates the infiltration of finance into increasingly niche real estate sectors, taking the example of the emergent Canadian purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector since 2011. Drawing on a novel database of PBSA, qualitative document analysis, and key informant interviews, we uncover the business strategies and geographic patterns of investment in the sector. We then consider the local impacts of this phenomenon in Waterloo, Ontario, the country’s largest PBSA market, where finance-driven new-build studentification has contributed to higher housing costs and age segregation. This process of financialization has differed from other housing sectors as it depends on the creation of new student housing to provide an avenue for investment therein. At the same time, finance-driven new-build studentification functions as a spatial fix by directing investment to secondary cities. However, this process has been fragile, marked as much by failure as success, pointing to the limits of financialization.

The article aims at the determination of relations between the real estate market and water supply and sewage management based on the example of the Lublin Functional Area (LFA). The paper is composed of two parts. The first part focuses on the characteristics of functional urban areas (FUA) both in the context of theoretical assumptions and practical aspects of their implementation under the Cohesion Policy 2014–2020 in Poland, as well as development problems of FUA resulting from the intensity of the process of suburbanization. The second part of the article presents the characteristics of LFA and the analysis of the relations between an increase in dwelling stock and the real estate market in the communes of LFA and their provision in water supply and sewage infrastructure. It also presents problems caused by uncontrolled expansion of built-up areas in the context of conducting sustainable municipal management in areas with high values for agricultural production in spatial, socio-economic, and environmental terms.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to analyze radon awareness and disclosure policy proposed during the 2018 Kentucky General Assembly using Kingdon’s Multiple Stream Framework. Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Exposure to radon occurs largely in the home. The proportion of homeowners who have completed radon testing remains low, and home radon testing is voluntary in most states. The Environmental Law Institute recommends states enact policies to promote radon awareness and testing. The most common radon awareness policy mandates radon disclosure during a real estate transaction. A bill to mandate radon disclosure during a real estate transaction was proposed during the 2018 Kentucky General Assembly but was met with opposition and was not filed. As a policy alternative, an administrative regulation to amend the Form for Seller’s Disclosure of Conditions was proposed to the Kentucky Real Estate Commission. Administrative regulations set forth by government regulatory agencies are equally enforceable and may be a more politically feasible alternative to enacting public policy. Nurses are positioned to promote the health of patients and populations. Nurses advocating for radon control legislation and/or administrative regulations may push radon control policy higher on the governmental decision agenda leading to policy change to decrease the development of lung cancer.

Strategic planning in land is now at the stage of development and adoption of new documents defining goals, objectives, directions, priorities and instruments of state land policy and land management. The uniqueness of this object of public management and strategy requires a systematic approach to strategic planning based on both the ecological and social significance of the land and economic value of land resources. The authors examine the possibility of their use as a natural means of agricultural production, draw attention to forestry—the most important factor in the development of economic industries as a territorial (spatial) basis (foundation) of economic activity—location of capital construction objects, other real estate objects, development of modern systems of settling population in an urban and rural areas, urban agglomerations. Accordingly, strategic planning for land management in real estate and spatial development is an important part of land management, urban planning and other related areas.The paper considers terminological and conceptual problems of the object and subject matter of these relations (land, land resources, territory, space, real estate, spatial development, land use ) in the cross-sectoral context of strategic planning. The authors have determined the main issues of formation of the concept and strategy of state strategic management concerning land resources in general, as well as the land use strategy in differnt settlements in the context of present day factors influencing the state of development of this strategic area. The paper examines intersectoral aspects of preparation of documents of strategic planning, the connection of the land use with other areas of strategic management of public development (socio-economic, spatial, urban planning, state property management, energy, environmental safety).As the result of the study, the authors propose new approaches to land strategy and its improvement.

Full textAbstract:
Although extensive research has investigated urban vibrancy as a critical indicator for spatial planning, urban design, and economic development, the unclear relationship between local vibrancy and active living needs to be clarified and requires more in-depth analysis. This study localizes urban vibrancy at both hyper-local and neighborhood scales by integrating high-resolution, large-scale, and heterogeneous urban datasets and analyzing interactions among variables representing vibrancy’s environmental, economic, and social aspects. We utilize publicly available urban open data, Points of Interest requested from API, and leisure running trajectories acquired through data mining to investigate the spatial distribution of various vibrancy indicators and how they interact with physical activity at the local scale. Based on these variables, we then construct linear regression models and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to test and estimate how local vibrancy and physical activity relate to residential real estate characteristics. The results reveal the strong impact of urban form on local vibrancy but not physical activeness. At the neighborhood level, all vibrancy factors are statistically significant to local residential real estate prices but with different interactions based on location. Our study highlights the importance of accounting for locality and different physical, environmental, social, and economic factors when analyzing and interpreting urban vibrancy at a granular scale within a city.

The subject of this publication is to determine what environmental and climatic factors can significantly affect the value of real estate. As a research object, there was chosen area surrounding the Gulf of Gdansk, which, like the entire coast, is attractive for investment and constitutes an interesting object as a space with a special focus on tourism, including short-term rental. Progressing climate change is particularly affecting this sector. It is safe to assume that unfavorable environmental conditions can significantly change the attractiveness of this area. Therefore, the research hypothesis about the correlation between climate aspects distinguishing the coastal belt and the distribution of real estate prices in the selected area has been verified. The area of the Gulf of Gdansk Coast and the technical and protective belt were analyzed. The weather situation on the coast is different from that prevailing in the rest of the country. There are strong and gusty winds, local floods, but at the same time a natural landscape, proximity to the sea and clean, iodized air. Other possible climatic factors have also been tracked, i.e. temperature, sea level and possible changes that may occur over the next years. The analyzes were based on the data of the KLIMAT project entitled "The impact of climate change on the environment, economy and society", and the Government Project KLIMADA and SPA analyzes. An in-depth analysis of the problem of combining planning documents for the maritime sector influencing the Study of Spatial Development of Polish Marine Areas with Local Spatial Management Plans, introduced Flood Risk Maps and Flood Risk Maps was also conducted.

The article considers a system of scientific research methods that ensure the order of economic forecasting in ensuring military spending. Consideration of the need for public spending is inextricably linked with the historical aspects of the creation of the Armed Forces, the development of models and methods to meet their needs. The history of the creation of the Armed Forces is connected with the birth of the state, one of the main qualities of which is belonging to the army, which is valuable for itself and its own needs. They provide everything necessary to fulfill their obligations in peacetime and in war, taking into account the impact of goods, money, relationships, needs for available materials (weapons, military and special equipment, real estate and any other materials) and financial resources. This resource can be provided by the State to which the Armed Forces belong.

Jakarta (capital city of Indonesia) is threatened by potential disaster in the future. Furthermore, scientists predict that Jakarta will sink in 2050. Currently, northern Jakarta has sunk by 2.5 meters in a period of 10 years due to human activities along with natural conditions which causes disaster, such as land subsidence by infrastructure construction and excessively use of groundwater, poor drainage systems, and a constant sea level rise. Government of Indonesia also considers several effects of capital city relocation such as changes in the fields of economy, politics, defense, security, social, culture, and environment. This study examine environmental aspects considered in the capital city relocation, associated to disaster mitigation using a mental model approach. Environmental aspects as the main factors are from human activities which caused by decrease of natural carrying capacity and natural conditions itself that caused an increase of disaster vulnerability. Both of these aspects are elaborated to compile a study of capital city relocation based on the disaster prevention principle. The study through a mental framework model can assist the government and relevant stakeholders in the formulation of capital city relocation.Jakarta, as the capital city of Indonesia, several sectors has facing rapid growing development, particularly in the sector of trade, industry, transportation, real estate, and many others

Full textAbstract:
The land market is usually influenced by many factors, but the key to some of them is decisive when buying a property. These are both physical features of the property, such as the area, shape or class of the land as well as external factors related to the popularity of the area or the availability of communication. The group of factors that decide about the purchase is certainly the vulnerability of land to natural phenomena related to mass movements. They belong to factors that have a very negative impact on the price of real estate, limiting the possibility of its use, and above all buildings. In a situation where data on mass movements are available in a given area, these data directly affect the provisions of the study of conditions and directions of spatial development of the commune and, as a consequence, also local plans. The article analyzes the impact of landslide areas on property prices. The research was carried out in the municipality of Wieliczka where in 2008 a comprehensive assessment of mass movements was carried out, defining their character and making their classification.

Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science 44, no. 6 (July 20, 2016): 1122–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0265813516659071.
Full textAbstract:
All over Europe, it is a known fact that cities are shrinking. One of the main causes is population decline, but the consequent reduction of urban area is neither immediate nor easy to foresee spatially. Questions arise such as where do cities start to ‘shrink’ first? What are the most fragile areas that face the risk of becoming derelict? What are the most vulnerable social groups? And how does this affect real estate values across the city? Existing models for projecting the effects of shrinkage have been criticized for lacking spatial-explicitness, being excessively data-dependent, and failing to incorporate various socio-economic, urban and environmental aspects in the assessment of attractiveness of urban areas and of decisions by households. In this article, we attempt to overcome this criticism by applying the spatially-explicit Sustainable Urbanizing Landscape Development decision support tool (SULD), based on hedonic pricing theory, in two cities in southern Europe (Aveiro, Portugal and Imperia, Italy). SULD is used to project, assess and compare changes in land-use, household type distribution, real estate values and household densities, in three different scenarios of population decline (−5%, −10% and −15%). Results quantify the amount of contraction of urban area, housing quantity and living space; highlight the most problematic areas; and uncover low income households as the least affected, whereas the relocation of high income households may cause gentrification of medium income households in some areas of the historical city centre.

Full textAbstract:
In both the countries, i.e. Poland and Georgia, administrative bodies carry out expropriations not only on the basis of individual administrative acts, in accordance with the classic concept of expropriation, but also through planning acts. Derogation from this right in whole or in part is therefore a consequence of legal action of the administration. In the case of expropriation, deprivation of property may in fact “result from actions by the state which, although not directly aimed at depriving the owner of its property rights (in other words, as a result of which the owner does not lose their legal title to the property), yet they have the same effect, not only in fact, but also in law, as expropriation in the formal sense” . However, such significant public interference is not considered expropriation and is therefore not accompanied by any adequate compensation. In its jurisprudence, the European Court of Human Rights regularly emphasises that in order to assess whether an expropriation has taken place, one should rely not only on formal but also material considerations, and the limitation on the possibility of exercising this right by the local spatial development plan meets the conditions for interference with the ownership of real estate within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights.

Full textAbstract:
The organization of an effective land use system is an important state task. Modern technologies allow us to find a balance, optimality in the use of land resources. At the same time, it can be said that the combination of technologies and their integrated application gives a more powerful synergetic effect, which is expressed, among other things, in the prevention of global environmental disasters, and currently can contribute to solving a number of economic breakdowns, in particular the food crisis. Among the technological solutions and geotechnologies developed and currently used in the field of land and property relations, it is possible to single out the main ones that allow organizing effective land use on the territory of the state: Unified State Register of Real Estate, automated cadastral systems, geoinformation basis of the territory, Unified electronic cartographic basis, geoinformation analysis, information modeling, geodesign technology, smart technologies, digital twin. As examples of the practical application of geotechnologies for the design and organization of an effective land use system, the following are considered: a study of the destruction of the shoreline of the Novosibirsk reservoir in the periods from 1970 to 2020, a study of seasonal flooding of the territory of dacha societies in the Soviet and Pervomaisky districts of Novosibirsk, the design of the placement of solid municipal waste accumulation sites (MSW) on the territory of the private sector of Novosibirsk, analysis of the road network of the city of Novosibirsk for the development of solutions to improve capacity, a comprehensive study of the level of development of social and household comfort of the population on the territory of the city of Novosibirsk, three-dimensional modeling of zones of accumulation of environmental damage on the territory of the city of Novosibirsk, geoinformation analysis of the provision of the territory of the city of Novosibirsk with recreational zones. The considered geotechnologies form the general geospatial structure of the rational land use system. A distinctive feature of their complex application is the possibility of predictive modeling and pre-project analysis of the consequences of economic use of land resources.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the paper є is to study the mechanisms for investing in residential renovation in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, sustainable development is considered both from the point of view of safety and environmental friendliness of residential buildings, and from the social point of view of providing housing to citizens from strategic perspective. It is shown that the current sustainable development goals, the definition of indicators of their achievement do not cover the problem of housing deterioration, which is one of the most acute for national and social security, as well as the financial stability of the state. Therefore, the achievement of SDG-11 in Ukraine is in a high risk zone given the catastrophic state of housing, the scale of the problem, and the high cost of its renovation for insolvent households; this does not solve the problem only at the expense of homeowners as follows from the essence and functions of property owners. The situation in Ukraine differs from European countries in that the state is impossible to further subsidize the owners on a large scale. This requires a combination of public investment in renovation of residential real estate with property reform, transforming part of the housing stock into social housing. As the implementation of housing projects concerns the local level, the general shortcomings of strategic management are shown, where there is no vision of communities to solve the problem. Methodology. Based on the methodological developments of the authors on the insolvency of homeowners in Ukraine (A. Shcherbyna), criticism of unjustified approaches to co-financing by residents and local authorities of renovation projects in Kyiv (O. Popeko), and the need to justify and evaluate investment projects to achieve sustainable development goals (S. Kovalivska), the article forms a comprehensive approach to solving the problem in terms of all three aspects. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to deepen the formulation and analysis of methods to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 11 "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable" with the help of provisions on sustainable housing for citizens based on a projectoriented approach and mechanisms for financing projects using public-private partnerships of homeowners with local authorities, as well as taking into account sustainable development goals. Practical implications. The main directions of further progress in reforming property relations in the housing sector and creating tools for intensifying partnership mechanisms at the vertical and horizontal levels in the public administration system are identified. Results. The proposed methodology provides for the selection of projects for budget support and development of recommendations for their implementation, taking into account SDG in several stages: preselection based on cost-benefit analysis; assessment of the impact of the project on SDG (determination of the SDG identity of the project based on a quantitative assessment of the impact of its objectives on SDG and vice versa); determination of the volume and type of budget support (rating of projects based on a comprehensive analysis of their commercial, budgetary and social efficiency, adjusted for the level of manufacturability, export orientation, and SDG identity); development of recommendations for project implementation, which take into account the approaches to assessing the impact of the project on SDG and, conversely, the achievement of SDGs or the risks of their failure to achieve project objectives (4). Value. To link SDG with budget planning, it is proposed to introduce an additional classification of budget expenditures on SDG, which will help to reconcile strategic and budget planning with investment in order to achieve SDG, including in the process of ensuring state participation in programs and projects for renovation and construction of housing based on the concept of sustainable development.

Growing urbanization poses an enormous challenge to city planners. Noticeable effects of the increased population density in cities include housing shortages, rising real estate prices, increased traffic, air pollution, shortages of green spaces and attractive public spaces, the rising cost of urban infrastructure and the risk of social tensions. Especially in dense urban areas, public open spaces (squares and streets, urban parks and spacious recreational areas) have become increasing important. Their design, functionality and the adaption to the needs of the residents significantly influences the quality and atmosphere of urban coexistence. The consideration of quality criteria is essential for the creation of sustainable, livable and smart open spaces. Modern approaches to sustainable planning in urban areas and the versatile aspects of state-of-the-art open space design are the core themes of this article. General aspects of landscape planning in Austria and selected best practice projects in the context of urban development are presented.This article gives an overview of open space planning in Austria. To be successful, projects must consider the specific needs of city districts, which requires tailor-made approaches and an interdisciplinary planning team. To be accepted and adequately used by the public, projects must be based on a detailed analyses of the spatial, natural and social conditions.The complex and diverse challenges of open space planning in Austrian cities can be seen as representative for other cities, as certain urban trends occur (in slightly altered dimensions) all over Europe or on an even bigger scale. Selected best practice urban planning projects, which have been realized by freiland Environmental Consulting CE Ltd, based on state-of-the-art principles, demonstrate modern planning approaches to tackling these challenges.

Full textAbstract:
India has over the recent decade witnessed a spate of land transfers as Special Economic Zones, extractive industries, or real estate dispossess farmers, land owners, and indigenous groups of their land. As a result, struggles over land have emerged with force in many locations, almost across India. Yet while the political economy and legal aspects of India’s new ‘land wars’ are well documented, the discourses and identities mobilised against large-scale forcible land transfers receive less scholarly attention. We suggest ‘the regional identity politics’ of India’s current land wars to explain the important role of place-based identities in garnering broad, public support for popular anti-dispossession movements. We explore how land, and its produce, are mobilised by anti-dispossession movements in the Indian states of Goa and West Bengal. The movements mobilised land and food not as emblematic of structural changes in the political economy, but first and foremost within a symbolic field in which they came to stand metaphorically for regional forms of belonging and identity under threat. While reinforcing regional solidarity, these identities also contributed to the fragmented and often highly localised nature of India’s current land wars, while also potentially disrupting efforts to sustain organising in the long term.

Full textAbstract:
Concentrated urban development in capital cities is associated with negative effects. Simultaneously, less favourably located cities suffer from population loss and economic decline. Shrinking cities face a loss of urban functions such as public infrastructure, high-quality services and various aspects of urban living; the cultural heritage is also degraded through declining population and vacant buildings. The end result is a lower level of attractiveness and competitiveness along with negative development prospects. At the same time, booming cities and city regions face negative agglomeration externalities such as rising real estate prices and rents, traffic congestion, land use conflicts or poor environmental quality. One such shrunk town is Görlitz in Eastern Germany, where a new decision support tool to foster urban regeneration and heritage preservation has been tested—the Urban Transformation Matrix. This tool aims at revitalising the historic building stock protected by heritage preservation law. The idea is to openly discuss structural alterations to buildings in order to foster revitalisation and high-quality occupancy not only in the case of individual buildings, but also in the wider neighbourhood context, which in turn can promote further revitalisation and revaluation of the entire urban district. The Matrix takes into account both heritage aspects and the proposed post-refurbishment function of a building before launching the approval procedure for the construction work. Based on scientific monitoring, the article reflects the heated discussions around the Urban Transformation Matrix and the test-period of its application, as well as factors of successful implementation.

Full textAbstract:
The historic centre of a town is its oldest and original core. It needs special protection in order to ensure the conservation of its historical, artistic and environmental heritage. In Italy, the definition of historic centres and the protection of their cultural heritage evolved in time, up to the current special attention for the historical aspects. The main threats to historical centres are real estate speculation and mass tourism. The purpose of this study is to catalog and monitor historic centers over time, in the context of urban planning. High-resolution satellite images and geographic information systems (GIS) offer new tools for urban planning and also for cultural heritage themes. “Real time” evaluation of urban structures, cartographic updating, monitoring of the progress of major works, with particular regard to cultural heritage, are made possible by the use of high-resolution images, which facilitate the identification of changes in urban and non-urban areas. The technique of Object Based Image Analysis (OBIA) has been used for image analysis and interpretation. OBIA allows a good interpretation of the scene captured by sensors thanks to classification-based segmentation and extraction of complete objects and their topological relations. This yields to a classification similar to the output of human photo-interpreter, but with a better reproducibility and homogeneity. In this paper we describe, through an application example, the potentiality and the difficulties of this technique and some results. The whole information obtained from segmented and categorized satellite images has been structured in a proper GIS, so that it can be overlaid with other environmental data. Information structuring and special metaheuristic analyses allow to study and monitor historic centers and cultural heritage. This methodology allows to identify the places at risk that need priority restoration; moreover it allows to keep track of changes that occurred over time

Purpose The environmental performance of buildings can be measured by using an existing green building indicator system. In Thailand, the Thai’s Rating of Energy and Environmental Sustainability (TREES) has been applied to 70 buildings including condominiums. It is important to collect feedback from stakeholders to identify the criteria of green features that respond to the expectation of condominium’s potential buyers as well as the satisfaction of current occupants. This paper aims to examine prioritised aspects from potential buyers and occupant satisfaction of the TREES criteria in the case study, a green condominium in Bangkok, Thailand. Design/methodology/approach The case study was conducted at IDEO Mobi Sathorn in Bangkok, the only condominium certified with the TREES system so far. Research methods include interviews, observations, document analysis and the surveys from the condominium’s potential buyers and current occupants. Findings The findings indicate that the condominium’s potential buyers are more concerned about site and landscape, indoor environmental quality and energy and atmosphere, whereas the current occupants are more satisfied about water conservation, site and landscape and energy and atmosphere in comparison with the other TREES criteria. Despite the provision of green features in the condominium, occupants are less satisfied about green innovation as showed in the least satisfied percentage of TREES criteria. In Facilities Management perspective, the paper shows connections between TREES criteria and FM functions in multi-unit residential project. The findings show that the application of TREES criteria focuses on the provision of value in FM, whereas stakeholder perceptions regarding the TREES criteria contribute to the perception of value in FM. Practical implications The findings and reflections upon the finding can help to understand the impact of green building aspects of the TREES system on perceptions of different stakeholders, that is, potential buyers and current occupants of the condominium. Recommendations for real estate developers and facilities managers regarding the development of green building concept on the TREES system are provided. Originality/value There has been no prior research in this area. The paper provides better understanding with regard to prioritised aspects from the potential buyers and occupant satisfaction of TREES criteria in Bangkok green condominium. This paper provides empirical data regarding stakeholder perception on TREES criteria that can be used to compare with similar data of the TREES-certified condominiums when they are available in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The recovery and requalification of built heritage are, in Europe and all over the world, a central issue in relation to current international policies. In recent years, there has been a considerable growth in research within this field, favoring the implementation of intervention methodologies in the real estate assets of public and private property. With this study, we intend to focus attention on the redevelopment of existing school buildings, taking into account, from an integrated perspective, different aspects related to energy and environmental retrofit, the improvement of seismic safety, and socio-economic assessments. A significant impact of the study that was carried out will be favoring the more disadvantaged classes and a reduction in school drop-out, which in some cases is caused by the decentralized dislocation of the complexes or by inadequate structures. The research consists of the development of a tool to support the planning and programming of interventions for school building modernization, with a view to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. In order to take into account the multiplicity of the aspects considered, among the methods of multi-criteria analysis for decision-making aims the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied, which allowed us to analyze and compare different alternatives through evaluation criteria, reaching the definition of a priority scale. This process makes it possible to identify those interventions that achieve the best compromise between community needs and the planners’ goals. The evaluation procedure is validated through the application on a concrete case study, which is a school building located in the province of Avellino, in the south of Italy.

Abstract The goal of sustainable development within planetary boundaries poses new challenges to the actors of the real estate industry. One task is to improve the energy performance of existing buildings by deep energy retrofit measures. The aim is not only to conserve resources and reduce emissions, but also to ensure that buildings can be rented out and marketed, and that a loss of value is avoided. In addition to technical issues and aspects of dealing with existing building fabric, questions of assessing their economic viability play a role in the selection of suitable measures. Against the background of a project in Germany to develop a methodological convention, this paper introduces basics for cost-benefit analyses of energy efficiency measures. Furthermore, the following questions will be discussed: (1) How can the introduction of carbon pricing conventions be aligned with external climate and environmental costs? (2) How can be dealt with non-monetary factors in investment appraisals? (3) How can typical perspectives of actors be classified and what are the consequences for the necessary adjustment of appraisal methods? (4) How can the general trend towards greater consideration of uncertainties be taken into account? Possible solutions are discussed and recommendations for action are presented.

Full textAbstract:
The last two decades have witnessed a substantial growth of the owner-occupied housing sector in urban China, where most people tend to follow a conventional life course in terms of ascending the housing ladder towards homeownership. Yet, with skyrocketing housing prices in the real estate market, fragmentation in housing opportunities has become more important in reshaping the structure of social inequalities. This paper investigates the disparities in housing careers between skilled migrants and their local counterparts in Nanjing, focusing on temporal and spatial aspects. Specifically, this paper examines how skilled migrants’ housing tenure and location change over time, to what extent these changes differ from those of skilled locals, and what factors contribute to the disparities between migrants and locals. The results verify that there are indeed disparities in housing careers between migrants and locals, and the foremost difference lies in the tenure, especially the tenure of the first residence. Spatially, migrants exhibit an outward-bound pattern, often associated with the transition from renting to owning. These disparities in housing careers could be primarily attributed not only to the gap of the intergenerational transfer of wealth between migrants and locals, which can be traced back to regional disparities in economic development, but also to the self-selection of migration. While facing skyrocketing housing prices, the timing of making a foray into the housing market is pivotal. This study also revealed the diminishing marginal utility of education that is found in terms of establishing a superior housing career.

Full textAbstract:
Production of the Atlas of Saskatchewan (CD-ROM Edition) required a synthesis of skills including technical expertise in the fields of digital multimedia technology, geographic information systems technology and cartography. Recent advances in electronic media based technology have had a substantial impact on certain aspects of cartography in recent years. Some of these advances include the use of multimedia tools for map design and production, presentation and interactivity. CD-ROM atlases, in particular, have become extremely popular and have been produced in increasing numbers in recent years. According to the literature, advances in electronic technology render electronic atlases more effective in communicating geographic information than those in a paper medium. The former can combine multimedia elements such as sound and motion that cannot be incorporated in a printed atlas. The effects of these advances on cartographic information processing (cartographic communication) forces cartographers to reexamine the way they design maps. Layout, screen real estate, image resolution and colour are among some of the design features that will differ in an electronic medium.The development of the Atlas of Saskatchewan (CD-ROM Edition), an electronic version of the existing hard-copy Atlas of Saskatchewan (Millennium Edition) incorporated many of these new multi-media features and tackled a number of issues associated with the implementation of new technology. These issued included; generalization, legibility, speed, screen resolution and color, as well as software capabilities, hardware requirements, cross platform and file size issues. The fact that this CD-ROM atlas was generated from the transformation of an existing paper version did not make the production any less complex. Issues of consistency, continuity, layout and design had to be considered for the electronic medium. This paper discusses these issues and the ensuing stages in the development of the Atlas of Saskatchewan (CD-ROM Edition) in the context of cartographic communication. It also looks at various techniques employed and the multi-disciplinary nature of the development of the interactive CDROM Atlas, as well as some of the issues that surfaced in the production process.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of the paper is to explore the use of, and challenges associated with, spatial change management strategies. This is done through a discussion on how spatial environments may be utilised to effect organisational change. The intention is to provoke new thinking on physical change initiatives and to challenge the often highly deterministic view on the effects of contemporary workspace concepts. Design/methodology/approach The paper is structured as a case study-based literature review, drawing on literature from the fields of environmental psychology, organisational branding, corporate real estate and facility management, as well as organisational change management. Findings The study indicates that space management strategies may fail because of the lack of understanding of how organisational events and other contextually specific aspects correlate with the physical change initiative. Succeeding with the spatial strategy requires a strong focus on socio-material relationships and the employee meaning-making process during the spatial change process. Originality/value Contrary to the traditional and rational focus on functional space management strategies, the paper takes a socio-material approach suggesting that there is a need for more empirically based research into the employee meaning-making process and the role of human and organisational practices in the development of new workplace concepts. Focusing on how organisational members understand and “make use of” spatial environments may substantially improve organisations and building consultants’ abilities to strategically manage the physical change initiative and achieve the intended ends.

Construction industry has been proven to cause environmental problems ranging from excessive consumption of natural resources in construction, to the pollution of the environment. Studies on green building to minimize environmental impact are already underway. Tools of assessment of environmental performance of buildings are plenty. However, Middle East countries together with Gulf region are still away from practicing the concept of mitigating the impacts of buildings on the environment. Reasons could be relying on the insufficient awareness of building stakeholders, or the privilege of much fortune. The main objectives of this paper are to arouse the people's attention to the importance of assessment of environmental performance of buildings in KSA, and to introduce a sustainability model for project appraisal based on a multi-dimensional approach, that will be used for the assessment of a case study in KSA. The approach is using the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system as a guide for the assessment. The plan of work includes reviewing the literature on the assessment of sustainability performance of buildings, displaying the LEED system, and assessment of a commercial building in Dammam. The paper uses the descriptive approach to study the problem and collect the data, and the comparative approach to compare the obtained data with the required standards of LEED. The case study, which is a commercial complex in Dammam, is one of these types of buildings widely spread in the development schemes of current real estate investment in KSA. While the building achieved some credits and prerequisites of LEED system, the building lacks many other points. The overall credits achieved are 22%, and the overall prerequisites achieved are 43%. The main problem of the building is related to energy and atmosphere aspects.

In the CR (Czech Republic), there are a lot of prefabricated housing estates built in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, which are at the end of their life cycle. The main goal of the project was to evaluate the rate of energy savings in the long term due to the revitalization of prefabricated apartment buildings, and thus provide feedback to the relevant authorities on its effectiveness. Another goal was to evaluate selected parameters of living comfort in the locality for the purposes of the real estate market with the possibility of providing them to those interested in living in the locality. A complex of methods was used, which evaluate criteria from various spheres, such as environment, spatial relationships, social aspects, etc. The authors used a combination of multi-criterial analysis methods (MCA) and spatial analysis within a Geographical Information System (GIS). Of all MCA methods, weighted linear combination (WLC) was chosen as the most suitable. In the spatial analyses, the matter of solution was, above all, the distance to the center and the transport within the given locality. The above-mentioned methods served as a model for evaluating whether a panel house in question is or is not suitable for reconstruction. The input data of the model are spatial data—national map series of the CR, environmental data (noise maps, energy demands of buildings)—and statistical data obtained from various sources (city administration of Brno, relevant organizations, and interviews with respondents). Within Inquiry Form 3, potential groups of respondents were addressed: Group A—people over fifty, group B—young families with children, group C—students under 25. The projected model was tested in Brno city in the locality of Nový Lískovec (CR). The proposed model provided information on the quality of housing in a given locality in terms of energy intensity, noise pollution, transport accessibility, and civic amenities. The output is a multi-criteria model with GIS support, which is generally applicable. The results of the model analyses led to the demonstration of the effectiveness of revitalization. The results can be used for estate offices or other organizations in the form of graphical outputs of appropriate variants on the basis of solving a lot of criteria when searching for a suitable residence.

Full textAbstract:
Urban sprawl is one of the most challenging urban phenomena. Many urban planners believe that it is difficult to achieve sustainable development without managing undesired urban growth. Since the 1960s, a wide range of urban planning policies have been introduced to manage urban sprawl. The concepts of New Urbanism, smart growth, and compact city started to be discussed and implemented in developed countries. Jeddah, as the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, is no exception. The planning authority has attempted to apply a compact city model to control urban sprawl. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the compact city model in Jeddah by comparing the outcomes to what was expected. It presents the historical urban growth pattern and discusses in detail the effect of the policy implementation on both district and city growth level. The main study findings are as follows: (i) While the compact city model depends on encouraging people to live in high-density districts and mixed-use development to reduce commuting time and increase the efficiency of public transport, Jeddah failed to provide an efficient public transportation system to encourage investments in mixed-use real-estate projects. (ii) A higher population density was achieved (from 44 to 155 person per hectare), but it came with many other infrastructure, social, and economic issues. (iii) The implementation failed to control the sprawl as was anticipated. The city grew within the study area by about 20% and the price per square m was increased by 300%. Thus, the main finding of the study shows that to achieve noticeable sustainable urban development—in the case of Jeddah—the planning authority should aim for more regulation of flat urban development and promote a more realistic and sustainable intensification policy. A well-designed approach to guide future development and provide functional open spaces to enhance the sense of community, reducing automobile dependency and respecting all other local social, economic, and environmental aspects, could be more effective in reducing and controlling the rate of urban sprawl.

Abstract Contemporary workspace and office concepts are part of many major commercial real estate projects and have been continuously developed over many years. With a rising awareness for sustainable development, workspace and office concepts are increasingly being considered in terms of their environmental performance. Sustainable design strategies therefore traditionally differentiate between efficiency, consistency, and sufficiency, whereas the latter approach is the least explored in the construction industry. Sufficiency can be described by a user behaviour characterized by frugality and modesty, as opposed to wasteful consumption. Moreover, the strategy of sufficiency is linked to a high and critical awareness of using natural resources and environmental impacts which also affects the built environment. The aim of this paper is therefore to combine these two subject areas in a structured way and derive potentials for the sufficient development of office concepts. Based on a literature review in the field of workspace design and flexible workplace management, design features of office spaces are conceived and compiled according to planning aspects in office concepts based on employee needs. Another literature review in the field of sufficiency in the building sector provides the corresponding structure for the considered sufficiency strategies. Sufficiency measures follow recurring principles for the reduction of resource consumption. Essential principles of impact are identified and presented in this paper. The investigated topic areas are compiled together in a logical model based on a developed mapping framework. This forms the basis for defining sufficient measures that can be derived to sufficiency strategies in the project development of office buildings. The basis of all measures is to strive for a minimum level of resource consumption that is necessary to satisfy the needs of the users and that is considered valuable by them, following the basic idea of the sufficiency approach. The results are validated using an office building in the planning stage. The paper leads to a common understanding and structuring of design features of future office spaces and their environmental impact. Furthermore, the approach provides guidance for concepts on how design features can be considered regarding sufficiency strategies.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the effects of mass tourism on urban communities in the historic centre of Venice, Italy. Through a survey in Cannaregio district, it explores the correlation between tourism pressures and the depopulation phenomenon and its mechanisms, the agents involved and the effects of depopulation on local life. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews with local residents, international experts and municipality officers, together with an analysis of literature on the topic allowed the collection of original qualitative data. Findings Venice is a popular tourist destination which risks being overwhelmed by its own success. Aside from environmental and structural issues, the city is experiencing socio-economic changes, such as the depopulation of its historic centre. The paper suggests that both direct and indirect relationships exist between tourism pressures and depopulation in Venice. The findings point to a need to develop strategies and manage tourism efficiently, and to promote diversification of local business in the interests of reducing tourism-induced demographic changes and improving local residents’ quality of life. Practical implications The outcomes of this study will be useful for local residents and heritage managers in understanding the mechanisms behind tourism mismanagement and the phenomenon of depopulation. Such heightened understanding will be useful in encouraging future cooperation between stakeholders and highlighting the key role that local residents play. Originality/value The study analyses tourism pressures and depopulation using qualitative data, focussing not only on the people-related aspect with its loss of intangible practices, but also on the property-related aspects of tourism and their effects on the local real estate market.

In the scientific literature, the problem of reconstruction of urban industrial zones was considered by scientists mainly in terms of architecture and construction (Sedin V. L., Kravchunovskaya T. S., Kovalev V. V., Bronevitsky S. P. and others), the economic aspect - less attention was paid. Foreign scientists Pacer R., Aruninta A., Ha S., Dardya M., Davis T., Margolis K. studied the concept of "redevelopment" quite widely, both theoretically and on the basis of examples of specific cities.Over the last decade, the deindustrialization of large cities has become widely known. As a result of reduced production, large-scale degrading industrial areas with unused buildings, warehouses and related infrastructure. The spatial structure of such zones requires a consistent transformation based on multi-purpose analysis. In this regard, there is a need for work on the reconception of industrial zones, their adaptation to modern conditions of the city and sustainable development. Development is a good practice all over the world. Development has a multifaceted effect: improving the architectural and planning development of the city, the emergence of new land resources, real estate, jobs, transformation and development of the transport network, reducing pendulum migration, solving environmental problems and of course attracting large numbers of tourists.Relevance of research. The development of industrial territories is the re-profiling of obsolete industrial and administrative buildings in accordance with the needs of the modern market and social development. Since tourism is an industry that requires a strong material fund, it is obvious that the use of redevelopment of industrial areas is in order to develop tourist infrastructure.Field of application of results. The obtained results can be used in substantiation and implementation of redevelopment of industrial territories as a way to create new means of tourist interest.The aim of the study. The positive and negative aspects of redevelopment are analyzed, as well as the expediency of use and the need for optimization in the future are substantiated.The subject of the research is the consideration of problematic issues, obstacles and motivational levers in the implementation of redevelopment projects of industrial zones.Thus, the development of industrial zones can be a motivating incentive for investors only if the municipality is interested in this process. It is the redevelopment that offers a comprehensive solution to the issues related to the transformation of unclaimed industrial facilities or irrationally used areas into new, investment-attractive tourist facilities.

Formulation of the problem. Issues of environmental management, infrastructure of regional and municipal scale, development of trade and services, use of real estate, introduction of special forms of education, culture and health care can be implemented with the help of financial resources of the region. The work is devoted to theoretical aspects of financial resources of state extrabudgetary funds of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the article is to determine the importance and place of state extrabudgetary funds in the financial system, the main directions of optimization of state financial resources, their development in spatial aspect from the point of view of the functioning of territorial budgetary systems and federal extrabudgetary funds in the regions of the country. The object of the study is the financial resources of the state extrabudgetary funds of the Russian Federation. Methods used in the study. The methodological basis of the study is the system of scientific methods used in the complex to achieve the goal and solve the set tasks. The dialectical method had made it possible to justify causal relations in the operation of State budgetary systems. The historical method is applied in the study of historical experience of financing the social sphere. Popular scientific, systemic and logical methods have also been used to obtain research findings. The empirical basis was international conventions, legislative acts of the Russian Federation, reference literature. Statement of the main material. Public finances in the regions should be considered not only with regard to the budgetary sphere, but also the activities of state social extra -budgetary funds, their importance in education and spending of public finances. The functioning of State budgetary funds is based on the rele- vant legal acts of State authorities, where their activities are regulated, sources of education are established and rules for the use of financial resources are drawn up. One of the main priorities of the Government 's activities is the pension, social and medical sectors, which need significant expenditures. The systemic independence of the above-mentioned funds, their removal from the budgetary sphere, will ensure the smooth implementation of these expenditures. Research conclusions. The analysis of theoretical aspects of financial resources makes it possible to conclude that regardless of the interpretation of the concept of "financial system," state extrabudgetary funds are an independent link of the current financial system of Russia. The diversity of forms and sources of financing for social development and social protection programmes has determined the increased responsibility of the State in regulating these processes, the improvement of which should mean the implementation of a set of measures.

The article emphasizes that there is a need to review the role of port authorities, identify trends in port management and assess the economic impact of port management reform. Conceptually, port administrations can experience a "renaissance" to face the many pressures of stakeholders, address socio-economic changes in the port landscape and improve the competitiveness of their ports. They can do this by acting as a facilitator or entrepreneur. Port authorities can generate more demand for a port product by reducing the overall cost of transporting cargo or passengers through the port. The traditional functions of port authorities have undergone significant changes. In larger multi-functional ports, the actual function of the operator, at least where cargo handling services are concerned, has been shifted towards aspects of the functions of lessor and regulator. Now the main feature of the operator's role is the granting and supervision of concessions. The function of the lessor and the regulator have become the two main functions and thus correspond to the general definition of the lessor's port model. A number of typical conflict situations that may exist in relation to port development are identified, including environmental protection, urban planning, working conditions, residents' interests and general economic development. It is necessary to make changes in management, even within the existing (formal) structures. The competitive position of the port will be determined not so much by the system of operation (for example, the landlord or the service port), but by the commercial attitude, mentality and entrepreneurial culture. It is necessary to develop leadership qualities in port management at the local and regional level, expanding competencies beyond the purely maritime dimension, and including competencies and know-how in the field of real estate management, environmental management. Port authorities have four main functions that can be performed at the local, regional and global levels. We can combine these functions and levels into a so-called "renaissance matrix". Several combinations are possible in this matrix, but a review of the above-mentioned existential variants. It is possible to derive a hypothetical typology, which consists of three main types: "conservative", "facilitator" and "entrepreneur". The conservation port focuses on having a good economy, and essentially adheres to the passive and mechanistic implementation of the three traditional functions of the author's port at the local level. The facilitator's port is a mediator and partner between economic and social interests. The Entrepreneurial Port will be the most complete port of resurgence management, combining the main features of a facilitator with a more outspoken commercial attitude as an investor, supplier, sender and consultant at all three geographical levels.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Evaluating residential property prices or land values is quite important for urban planning and government taxation as well. But it is generally difficult to predict land values accurately due to the dynamics of land prices, particularly in urban areas. Urban land values are mostly affected by natural environmental changes and various social and economic factors (Colwell & Munneke, 1997). Also, such socio economic factors are influencing both temporal and spatial aspects of land value, and therefore spatio-temporal clusters of land price changes will show local variations of land values very well. Specifically, the spatio-temporal hot spots might indicate highly increasing demand of lands in the urban area. In those areas, regulation against real estate speculation must be needed from the public perspective because such areas might impact on other area land prices and ultimately national economic status. Therefore, analyzing spatio-temporal aspects of the land price is essential for efficient urban planning and policy making.</p><p> In this study, we attempt to detect spatio-temporal hot spots which are constantly increasing the value of residential property among real estate. Although there are many types of differently designated lands including such as commercial, agricultural, and lands for other usage, we focus on the residential lands to estimate land values in this research. The reason for this is because residential house price is substantially increasing and becoming one of sensitive issues of Seoul house market. Therefore, poor people or younger generation cannot afford such high housing expenses in Seoul. Also, house transaction data is much larger than other land usage data, and therefore it can be utilized for estimating land values more precisely. From 2011 to 2016, over 1.8 million housing transactions of lease and sale happened in Seoul. This big data on housing lease and sale transactions indicates the value of each location where the transaction occurred.</p><p> Specifically, we utilize spatial interpolation method including Kriging and differential local Moran’s I approach based on housing transaction data in Seoul. Housing transaction data includes every transaction for sales and leases of the house for the particular period. By applying these methodologies, we can visualize spatio-temporal clusters of highly increasing land prices and interpret significant clusters in terms of social factors. In fact, land price distribution has been widely discussed associated with smart growth and urban development (American Planning Association, 2002; Kaiser et al., 1995). However, most studies have focused on urban development and expansion, rather than the changes in the land price. Moreover, many studies have applied remote sensing approach to analyze urban land expansion (Xiao et al., 2006; Magigi & Drescher, 2010). Notably, Hu et al., (2013) applied IDW to interpolate and estimating land prices with land samples. However, IDW has a shortcoming to interpolate the value which is distant from the sample points. In addition, even studies focusing on the land price have dealt with only one temporal period. From this research gap, we use the ordinary Kriging and differential local Moran’s I to detect and forecast local hot spots of land price changes.</p><p> This research has conducted the following steps. At the first step, several transactions for the residential area are consolidated into a single land value indicator. Suppose that the residential rent consists of three factors that are housing price (<i>P</i>), deposit (<i>D</i>), and monthly rent (<i>R</i>). Each factor can be transformed into the value index (<i>V</i>) by the transformation formula below. After calculating the land value index from the transformation, the global trend of the value index is overlaid on each period. Figure 1. Shows the mean value index increased from 2011 to 2016. Then, square cells regularly spaced by 100 meters are generated over study area to perform the ordinary Kriging. After the ordinary Kriging, the land value index is assigned to each grid cell. Finally, differential local Moran’s I index is calculated based on the difference that value index change between each year.</p><p> <i>V</i>&thinsp;=&thinsp;0.75&thinsp;*&thinsp;0.005&thinsp;*&thinsp;<i>P</i>&thinsp;+&thinsp;0.005&thinsp;*&thinsp;<i>D</i>&thinsp;+&thinsp;<i>R</i></p><p> As a result, the global trend of land value changes from 2011 to 2016 in Seoul is shown in Figure. 1. The mean value index is increasing constantly. The spatio-temporal hot spots of land price change are found where the value index increment exceeds the average value index increasing over Seoul. As a result, seven clusters are detected (Figure. 2).</p>

The territorial development of the city is studied on the basis of town-planning documentation and full-scale researches of residential and former industrial territories, the factors which have formed the basis of the concept of the general plan of development of the city are resulted. Options for the transformation of territories occupied by industrial enterprises are considered. The integrated concept of city development is analyzed, in particular, conversion proposals of development and improvement and modernization of abandoned territories of non-functioning and partially functioning industrial enterprises, the concept of residential development is analysed. The city of Chernivtsi in its economic and geographical location is an industrial, administrative and cultural center of the region, with a large historical and architectural heritage. Due to the growing demand for living space and the diversification of forms of housing, the intensive development of the city is becoming more expressed. Aspects of land consolidation are not yet a priority, however, thanks to a quality planning policy, sustainable development of the city can still be achieved. Newly built areas are characterized by a high level of compaction.
The study of the territorial development of the city can lead to a better balance in the use of land resources, options for the transformation of the territories of former industrial zones and enterprises that are partially functioning in these areas or abandoned and liquidated. The application of the principles of sustainable urban development according to the European model has been further developed, the integration of the housing function into industrial areas has been improved on the example of the town-planning proposal for the development of former industrial zones. The city is constantly expanding. There is a tendency to build large-scale buildings outside the old town and traditional suburbs, which are not typical for this area, especially multi-storey residential and retail facilities. Their inclusion in the general structure of the city by type (function) and size (form) in accordance with the context of urban development is not observed. At the same time, the territory of the city on the outskirts is constantly increasing, which leads to further use of natural spaces and maximizing the distance to public and commercial institutions, as well as workplaces, due to which the ammount of traffic increases.
Territorial development of the city is a consequence of the general concept of the general plan of development of the city on the basis of the factors which have formed its basis. These include:
The concept of economic development of the city, which is based on a market economy and private initiative, the priority development of the service sector, the development of the tourism and leisure industry.
Population dynamics. Hence the output of the quantitative indicator of the required areas.
Planning constraints, environmental protection and rational use of natural resources.
Available territorial resources and efficient use of territories.
The concept of three-dimensional composition, planning structure and functional zoning of the city.
Rational system of resettlement in relation to places of employment.
A number of territories, which have a very favorable position in relation to the places of employment, to transport connections due to one reason or another have not been developed - complex engineering training, lack of networks, the presence of other restrictions.
All areas are partially occupied by individual manor buildings.
The master plan envisages the development of these areas by 2032 without access to agricultural land.
The article also discusses the options for the transformation of the territories occupied by industrial enterprises. These options can be as follows:
Change in the functional purpose of the territory due to the removal or closure of industrial enterprises that adversely affect the environment.
Technical re-equipment of the enterprise on new technologies (with preservation of a profile) for the purpose of reduction of harmful influence on environment.
Replacement of the profile or functional use of real estate due to the bankruptcy of the enterprise.
As a result of field surveys of residential and industrial areas of the city and research of urban planning documentation of the city of Chernivtsi and the Integrated Concept of Urban Development, the former industrial areas of the city were also analyzed.
During the survey of all districts of the city, old industrial areas were identified, which today, due to significant use and a favorable location within the city, need to be improved and modernized.
According to the Integrated Concept of City Development, conversion proposals for the development and improvement and modernization of abandoned areas of non-functioning and partially operating industrial enterprises were provided.

Real estate markets reveal aspects regarding the urban-regional network of a country and the possibilities for the development of this network in a polycentric manner. Using an unprecedented database, this article investigates the real estate markets in second-, third- and fourth-tier metropolises in Brazil. It explores the variability and creates typologies of real estate markets in a group of selected metropolises – Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Florianópolis and Vitória – using multivariate analysis methods. The results indicate high levels of market segmentation, shed light on the suburbanization processes versus the presence of strong city centers, and raise concerns regarding the affordability of housing in some municipalities. Within each agglomeration, real estate markets vary substantially, indicating a high level of social segregation; among them, there are intriguing similarities, indicating how the residential and commercial locations are (re) produced in a relatively generic manner in Brazil.

This paper foregrounds the state–corporate alliance in real estate development in Istanbul since the early 2000s. Employing a geo-coded sample of 294 private housing development projects built since the early 1980s and in-depth interviews with the private development companies, the paper focuses on how the construction industry and the massive commodification of urban land produced a new state–space nexus. The underlying question here is the nascent shape of urban political-economy, the trends of housing construction, the cycles of boom and bust and the mechanisms of capital accumulation concerning the state’s centralising control over space. In this sample, a few critical aspects of the production of concrete space became apparent. Seven findings are discussed. First, the developers of Istanbul followed the clientelistic patterns in the urban built environment. The second aspect is that the state is the sole supply-side actor that determines Istanbul’s built environment. The third point in this analysis of urban development initiated by the private sector is focused on the fact that the real estate speculation is state-led. The fourth and fifth points are related to the Turkish real estate developers’ inability to procure financing for the duration of the construction process. The sixth factor in the evaluation of the private real estate sector in Istanbul is the geographical and class dispersal of active development projects. The seventh factor in understanding those real estate developers is their novel approach to marketing and advertisement and the way they employ architecture as an extension of public relations.

This article contributes to debates within the financialization literature by examining the rise of monopolies in the US’ rental housing market. Drawing on a dataset of multifamily real estate transactions taken from the poorest census tracts in the US (so-called Opportunity Zones), we develop an antitrust framework and methodology for measuring market structure in housing using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. After detailing the geography of these market dynamics, we assess the specific strategies firms use to acquire market power and extract monopoly rents. This analysis reveals three critical aspects of real estate investors’ anticompetitive conduct: integration between housing subsectors, acquisition strategies that rapidly scale up ownership, and corporate forms that promote cooperation. The framework developed in this article and subsequent findings offer three directions policymakers, regulators, and activists can take to reform antitrust law and better ensure affordable housing.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThis paper aims to explore the factors that affect housing prices as per Chinese articles indexed in the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD). There were different foci regarding what drove housing prices in China in Chinese articles, and international journal articles in English. As most previous English articles only threw light on international research, it motivated the researchers to systematically review Chinese literature’s factors that affected housing prices in China.Design/methodology/approachThis paper reviewed housing price research articles indexed in the two largest Chinese academic research databases: the CSCD and China Knowledge Infrastructure Engineering Database (CNKI.NET). It systematically collected the data and adopted descriptive analysis techniques and synthesis.FindingsThis research reviewed the literature published from 2015 to 2020 and revealed some unique factors affecting China's housing prices. For example, research focused on administrative aspects such as macroeconomic regulation and control (often known as macro control). Authors of Chinese articles suggested that the two-child policy affected housing prices, which differed from that in the English journal articles. The research results implied that researchers should read top Chinese journals on top of good international journals when they study China's real estate market in the future.Research limitations/implicationsBecause the domestic real estate market started late, domestic real estate transaction data and real estate-related statistics are more difficult to obtain. The research is mostly based on the relationship between supply and demand, government policy and individual consumer factors, and the sample has a short time span.Practical implicationsAs China is a planned economy country, administrative factors are one main factor that affects the housing price. There were a significant number of articles in Chinese that considered this factor to be the main driver of the real estate price. It included government investment and macro-control, i.e. direct government intervention to cool down the overheated economy. Yet, there are few English articles that threw light on this factor including the commodity housing supply and government behaviour that affect housing price. The second-child policy, which is unique in China, also played an important role in the determination of the housing price. In the articles indexed in CNKI, the second-child rate, willingness to have a second child or having a second child were mentioned in the Chinese articles but not the English ones.Social implicationsIn this paper, the economic, social, administrative and environmental factors were summarised, which basically covered all the factors affecting housing prices. The administrative factors were a special group of factors that affect the housing price because of the country's planned economic system. Secondly, it provided useful information to real estate development enterprises in China. To make a correct investment and management decision, real estate development enterprises must understand the actual situation and possible problems of the industry. In this study, we analysed the research literature on the real estate industry in China for the period from 2015 to 2020 one by one and determined the influencing factors of the housing price, which provided references for effective cost control. Thirdly, it allows the public to understand and grasp the real estate industry. As the housing price has been continuously increasing, the public pays increasing attention to the real estate industry. Through the literature analysis of the impact of real estate prices, this paper revealed the elements of house price expenses, which makes it convenient for ordinary people to understand the real estate industry.Originality/valueThis study allows foreigners who do not know Chinese to know more about factors that drove housing prices from the Chinese perspective. It also provides insights to overseas developers who wish to enter the property market in China. The results can be generalised to other non-English-speaking real estate research.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with a brief overview of the main laws, national standards, regulatory and technical documents that regulate legal relations in the field of ”green” building in Russia. The key features of the existing legislative framework regulating environmental aspects in construction are identified and the factors limiting the introduction of ”green” building in the construction sector are considered. The tendency of normative documents development in the field of environmental protection taking into account scientific and technical achievements and requirements of international rules and standards is noted. The paper provides a schematic description of the relations regulation and the establishment of mandatory requirements in the construction industry. There are also documents showing the requirements can be mandatory or voluntary. The authors consider the standards that provide a comprehensive analysis of all constructing systems from the standpoint of sustainability. The normative and technical documents describe a set of principles, categories, evaluation criteria, indicators, recommended indicators and environmental requirements for real estate. In conclusion, the lack of uniform, updated and a complete regulatory framework for technical regulation in the field of green building and the necessity to stimulate economic entities in the sphere of construction and real estate at the state level with a view to enhancing the practice of green building.

Full textAbstract:
The need for sustainability has gained remarkable momentum in the context of the global challenges of environmental pollution, climate change, and global warming. In this context, as the largest single share in global resource use and pollution emission, the building construction industry must play a remarkable role to overcome this negative impact. In this setting, the concept of Green Building (GB) provides an alternative sustainable solution for the environmental impacts of buildings while supporting sustainable development. Green building provides benefits not only from an environmental perspective but also from economic and social aspects. Thus, stakeholders of real estate tend to adopt green building technology to avoid the pressure of the internal and external business environment. In this background, by following the Melvilles’ Belief-Action-Outcome framework, the study argued that green building practices of an organization are the outcome of the integrated micro and macro level pressure created by stakeholders for better adaptation of the GB concept, and beliefs of decision-makers on future consequences of non-adaptation of GB concept. Thus, this study aims to investigate the impact of macro and micro factors on the action of executives of the apparel sector of Sri Lanka on the adoption of green building practices. The population of the study is defined as executives of apparel companies in Sri Lanka. A total of 300 questionnaires has been distributed to executives who were selected using convenience sampling techniques and 86 valid responses were received. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used as the analytical technique of the study. The results suggest that macro factors namely coercive and mimetic pressure were not able to make a significant influence on executives’ attitudes toward GB practices adoption. However, it is confirmed that the attitudes of executives significantly contribute to managers’ actions on adopting pollution prevention, adoption for product stewardship, and adoption for sustainable development practices. Out of these three actions, product stewardship and sustainable development significantly contribute to the environmental performance of the organization. Accordingly, the study concludes that neither future consideration nor pressure created by the business environment act as motivators of the adoption of the green building concept within the apparel industry in Sri Lanka.
