Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Piece of land (lot)'

Exurbanization is occurring where large tracts of land are being sold to developers. Typically these are ranches that are then divided into 40-acre parcels and sold by developers, avoiding subdivision regulations requiring paved streets, utilities and other amenities. The result is an unplanned subdivision with no infrastructure, and tax revenues that cannot offset the cost of providing it. Interviews with professional planners suggested there may be independent variables capable of predicting the amount of human disturbance in an exurban area: parcel size, full cash value, tenure, distance to paved roads, site-built housing, mobile homes, and presence of biological or riparian areas. A total of 7,465 acres (3,022 ha) of parcel disturbance were digitized in exurban Arivaca, acreage values were converted to a binary dependent variable and used in logistic regression analysis to test independent variables' predictive value. Four were statistically significant: parcel size, full cash value, mobile homes and site-built housing. Landscape fragmentation was also tested using the presence of the variable scoring highest in probability - site-built housing. Zones of influence with a negative ecological influence surrounded the homes - up to 5,055 acres (2,046 ha) were impacted. Interviews with an exemplary sample of residents regarding their land use ethic found all had very strong opinions on how their properties should be treated as well as undesirable land uses such as overgrazing, over-use of groundwater for short-term economic gain and use of off-road vehicles. An explanation of the small sample size of both planners and residents is warranted. Planners were limited to those working in Pima County government who had professional experience with the study area of Arivaca and were familiar with its particular situation. The number of Arivaca residents interviewed was intended to discern an exemplary group's opinions based on how large a parcel they owned, the various sizes being a typical cross-section of acreage in the study area. What these findings illustrate is (1) the difficulty of predicting human-induced disturbance, (2) land fragmentation is more than the actual areas of physical disturbance and (3) some residents are aware of impacts related to their activities, mitigating damage wherever possible.

In 1973, the Province of British Columbia enacted the Agricultural Land Commission Act (ALC) implementing the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) to curb consumption of agricultural land by urban encroachment. The Central Okanagan was one of the main areas in the province where agriculture lands warranted protection. Today, the conflict between urbanization and agriculture is still simmering especially in Kelowna where 40% of the city’s land base is within the ALR. The objective of this thesis is to understand the impact of the ALR on the inner fringe where urban and agricultural uses vie for the same land base. Four research questions are posed to understand the implications of agricultural land preservation within a Kelowna: (i) Is agricultural land preservation working in the inner fringe; (ii) Is urban sprawl being avoided; (iii) Is farming being advanced in the inner fringe; and (iv) Can small lot farming play a role to help advance farming in the inner fringe? The mixed methods case study approach employs a combination of qualitative methods, including personal interviews with city planners, developers and farmers; and empirical methods including a spatial analysis of two ALR study blocks that are under pressure of urbanization. The research results suggest that land sales speculation in the inner fringe ALR continues to undermine agricultural land preservation goals. The ALR has helped avoid urbanization of inner fringe agricultural lands, however, suburban, low density residential neighbourhoods continue to grow as a result of leapfrog development, market demand, and municipal policy for low density development. Although inner fringe agricultural land is being preserved, speculative interest has had a negative effect on farming, especially in the study block adjacent to the City Core Area. Small lot farming could have a role in urban agriculture, however, the continuing concern about fragmentation impedes expansion of this industry sector. Other means to promote farming is required. More definitive agricultural land use and community planning are suggested to protect agricultural land, enhance farming and mitigate urban sprawl. Five recommendations are provided for cities to embrace agriculture not only for food security, but also to invent new urban forms.

When single-family lots are valued for development of new residential areas,the valuation is influenced by several factors. The valuation is a matter ofdefinition that varies according to its interpreter. Previous research conductedin other countries, has identified a number of value-influencing factors. Thesefactors are the basis for this study.The study's purpose is to highlight the value-influencing factors thatcustomers value and are looking for in the choice of single-family lots. Thestudy also seeks to determine if there is an unknown difference between howprofessionals and clients value single-family lots.The study showed that the value factors considered important for customersand also professionals are consistent and applicable with the factors reportedfrom previous research. These value factors are the location, adjacentneighboring areas, public transportation service, house plot size and proximityto the community, bodies of water and schools. For the Swedish market fourvalue-influencing factors not mentioned in the previous research wereidentified. The additional factors are; the selling price of the single-family lot, acorner placement lot, connecting bicycle path and walkway and lot withorientation south and west. The previous research mentioned also three valueinfluencingfactors that were not identified in the Swedish study. These factorswere; distance to the highway, municipal tax rate and access to the singlefamilylot.The study showed that the parties generally have good knowledge of oneanother´s valuation of single-family lots. This study focused mainly on theprofessional’s knowledge of the customer’s value-influencing factors. Theprofessionals base their valuation on incurred development costs, local priceassessments and a consideration of customer’s value-influencing factors. Thisknowledge is important for real estate appraisers and developers when settinga value on single-family lots, to be able to determine the most accurate value.The study is limited to Swedish medium-sized cities and was performed inKarlstad and Hammaro, which together have a population of approximately100,000 inhabitants. The data was collected through both a qualitative and aquantitative method approach, intended to reflect both professionals andcustomers perspectives. The qualitative method approach consisted of openand individual interviews with experienced professionals. The quantitative7method approach consisted of an online questionnaire, which was answeredby existing and potential customers. The empirical data for the qualitativemethod approach is presented in text and the quantitative method approachby the empirical data presented in tabular form.

Žemė kaimo žmonėms nuo seniausių laikų buvo ne tik pragyvenimo šaltinis, bet ir gyvenimo būdas. Lietuvos istorijos eigoje vyko labai daug žemės pertvarkymo procesų. Šiuo metu svarbiausias nuosavybės teisės įgijimo pagrindas yra nuosavybės teisių į žemę, mišką ir vandens telkinius atkūrimas. Šis procesas prasidėjo 1991 m. Lietuvos Respublikos Seimui priėmus įstatymus, reglamentuojančius nuosavybės teisių atkūrimą ir žemės reformą. Nuo žemės reformos pradžios iki 2009 m. sausio 1 d. Mažeikių rajono savivaldybės miestuose: Mažeikiuose, Sedoje, Viekšniuose nuosavybės teisės atkurtos į 87,7 % ploto, nurodyto piliečių prašymuose. Tai mažiau, nei žemės reformos rodikliai kaimo vietovėje. Tyrimų tikslas – išnagrinėti žemės reformos eigą miestuose, iškylančias problemas ir apžvelgti perspektyvas. Nustatyta, kad esminiai pokyčiai miestų žemės reformos eigoje įvyko 2001 m. Lietuvos Respublikos Konstituciniam Teismui išnagrinėjus bylą dėl Įstatymo 5 straipsnio 2, 3, 4 ir 5 dalių bei 12 straipsnio 3 punkto atitikties Konstitucijai ir Lietuvos Respublikos Seimui pakeitus įstatyme nurodytus punktus. Pripažįstama, kad žemės reformą itin neigiamai paveikė pernelyg dažna teises aktų, reglamentuojančių žemės reformą ir nuosavybės teisių atkūrimą, kaita. Po keliolika kartų buvo keisti Žemes reformos ir Piliečių nuosavybės teisių į išlikusį nekilnojamąjį turtą atkūrimo įstatymai. Dėl to nuolat buvo keičiamos jos taisyklės, nuosavybės teisių atkūrimo principai ir prioritetai. Nagrinėjant... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
From the ancient times villagers perceived land not only as a source of living but as a lifestyle. In the course of the history of Lithuania lots of processes of land reorganization were implemented. Presently, the main basis for getting land proprietary rights is the restoration of proprietary rights for land, forest and waters. This process started in 1991 when the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania adopted laws regulating the restoration of proprietary rights and land reform. From the beginning of the land reform to 1 January 2009 in the towns belonging to Mažeikiai Regional Municipality, i.e. Mažeikiai, Seda, Viekšniai, proprietary rights for 87,7% of an area indicated in the citizens’ applications were restored. This is less important than land reform rates in rural area. The aim of the research is to analyse the process of land reform and identify emerging problems as well as to review the prospects. It was found out that key changes in the process of land reform in towns took place in 2001 when the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania processed a case regarding the compliance of Article 5 Parts 2, 3, 4, 5 and Article 12 Clause 3 with the Constitution and when the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania changed the clauses indicated in the Law. It is admitted that the land reform was especially impinged by too frequent amendments to legal acts regulating the land reform and restitution of property rights. Law on Land Reform and Law on Restitution of... [to full text]

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the Women Economic Empowerment Program (WEEP) targeted at HIV positive women in Ngong, Kenya, empowers its participants psychologically. The research data consists of ten interviews conducted in 2015 in Ngong with women who were recently enrolled in the 18-month program and women who had recently graduated from the program. The field work also included systematic observation. A qualitative content analysis was performed on the interview material, and the impact of the program on the participants’ psychological empowerment was analyzed in terms of the interviewees’ feelings of self-confidence/beliefs in self-efficacy, self-respect, and acceptance. The results show that the newly-graduated participants demonstrate higher levels of self-confidence and stronger beliefs in self-efficacy than the newly-enrolled, framing their own hard work as the most important factor affecting whether they will accomplish their goals in life. The newly-graduated also experience higher levels of self-respect. The newly-graduated experience higher levels of acceptance than the newly-enrolled women when dealing with stigmatizing relationships. Based on these findings, the WEEP program is argued to empower its participants psychologically. Inspirational leadership, capacity building activities, experience of goal success, and the program as a space for emotional peer support were identified as some of the factors and processes behind the result. The results can, with consideration, be generalized to contexts with similar target groups and organizational goals and settings.

The Planning and Building Act regulates how municipalities plan the use of land and water. When deciding on the detailed development plan, the respective municipality is responsible for the parking standard in the space that will be allocated for parking and which is made in connection with land construction. The decision is followed up in the building permit process. One of the requirements for building permits being granted is that the parking solution is approved. A public parking lot lease is a solution that is approved by law regarding parking in another area beyond one's own property. The municipality can be a party in the agreement for leasing public parking lots in the role of land access provider and may be responsible for preparing the parking lot. In order to be valid, the lease shall guarantee a measure of permanence over time. The rights that accompany the parking lot agreement need to be monitored by authority decisions that cause a change in land use. The municipalities' responsibility to meet the policy's stated objective to increase housing may result in already built-up areas becoming denser. Surfaces such as parking lots may be used for this purpose. Increased density in municipalities requires new detailed development planning. Thirty of the country's municipalities with the highest number of completed buildings, specifically multi-family housing, were examined for the time period 2005-2016. The basis for the analysis was experiencing increased density where the land area has been affected in relation to objects for public parking leases. Current legislation is interpreted to find support for the validity of leasing public parking lots in cases of changes in land use. This study's research question relates to how the municipality should handle their role in decisions on changed land use, as a party to the civil parking lease agreement and as a public authority. The results highlight the validity of agreements to lease public parking lots despite civil authorities' decisions that change the use of land within the area in question. It is suggested that the municipality, as a civil party to the agreement, must monitor legal right by entering into the agreement. As an authority, the municipality has the responsibility to monitor and follow up the underlying decisions of the regulating authority and building permission decisions, the assessment of which may depend on the approval of the suggested solution for parking. Thus, the new decision regarding land use should not be in conflict with the underlying decisions which also continue to be valid. It is recommended that municipal administrations and companies cooperate closely in the early stages of the detailed development planning process. This is necessary to ensure that the legal right resulting from agreements to lease public parking lots is taken into consideration. The working documents in the form of geographical information may include demarcated areas which include leased public parking lots.
Plan- och bygglagen styr hur kommunerna planerar användningen av mark och vatten. Vid beslut om detaljplan ligger respektive kommuns normtal för parkering till grund för det utrymme som ska avsättas för parkering i samband med byggande av marken. Beslutet följs upp i bygglovsprocessen. Godkänd lösning för parkering är ett myndighetskrav för erhållet bygglov. Parkeringsköp är en lösning som godkänns av lagen som parkeringslösning utanför den egna fastigheten. Kommunen kan vara part i parkeringsköpsavtalet med rollen som markupplåtare och ansvarig för att iordningsställa parkeringen. Upplåtelsen ska för sin giltighet garantera viss stabilitet i tid. Rättigheten som följer med parkeringsavtalet behöver bevakas vid myndighetsbeslut som ändrar markanvändningen. Kommunernas ansvar för att möta politikiska mål om ökat bostadsbyggande kan få till följd att redan bebyggda områden förtätas. Ytor som exempelvis parkering kan tas i anspråk för syftet. Förtätning ställer krav på ny detaljplan. Trettio av landets kommuner med högst antal färdigställda bostäder i flerfamiljshus inom tidsintervallet 2005 – 2016 analyseras utifrån erfarenhet av förtätning, där markområde påverkas som är objekt för parkeringsköp. Tolkning av gällande lagstiftning görs för att hitta stöd för parkeringsköpets giltighet vid ändrad markanvändning. Studiens frågeställning gäller hur kommunen bör hantera sin roll vid beslut om ändrad markanvändning dels som part i det civilrättsliga parkeringsköpsavtalet, dels som myndighet. Resultatet framhåller parkeringsköpsavtalets giltighet trots myndighetsbeslut som ändrar markanvändningen inom aktuellt område. Kommunen som civilrättslig part i avtalet ska bevaka rättigheten förslagsvis genom inskrivning av avtalet. Som myndighet har kommunen ansvar för att bevaka och följa upp bakomliggande myndighetsbeslut, bygglovsbeslutet, vars bedömning kan vila på godkänd lösning för parkering. Det nya beslutet om annan markanvändning ska således inte stå i strid med bakomliggande beslut som fortsatt har giltighet. Tätt samarbete mellan kommunens förvaltningar och bolag i tidiga skeden av detaljplaneprocessen bör vara ett mönster som följs. Detta för att rättigheten som följer på parkeringsköpsavtalet ska uppmärksammas. Arbetsunderlaget i form av geografisk information kan innehålla markering av områden som omfattas av parkeringsköp.

The diploma thesis "Valuation of property type resort" deals with both the development of a comprehensive register of all immovable property, forming part of the accessories and recreational area in “Zubří” and also with the valuation of these assets, which will result in the determination of prices that should be required when its sale. The issue of valuation is not easy and extends into several areas. The first part of this work, the theoretical part, focuses on the definition and clarification of basic terms as from the field of valuation same as the terms of the law and economics. It further, various valuation methods are described in more detail and these are then used in the practical part. At the beginning of the practical part the location of the real estate same as the results of a market analysis and data obtained from the local investigation are described briefly. The results of the valuation are evaluated and analyzed in more detail in the conclusion of the thesis.

The US Environmental Protection Agency defines brownfields as “real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.” The existence of brownfield presents enormous challenges for cities across the United States. This report explores the possible roles nonprofits can play in brownfield development. As part of this investigation, the problems and opportunities brownfields offer socially, environmentally and economically are examined through literature review. Further on, three existing brownfields-specific nonprofit corporations are discussed through case studies. Each of these organizations The Guardian Trust, The Brownfields Stewardship Fund, and The Center for Creative Land Recycling, provide unique services facilitating the redevelopment of brownfields across the country. The lessons learned are then applied to the City of Dallas. The report concludes by exploring the potential roles the third sector could play in the redevelopment of brownfields in Dallas. With increased involvement, nonprofits can help convert brownfields back to their highest and best use for the benefit of the community.

Nowadays,Zone Expropriation is one of the main land deve- lopment methods for the government in Taiwan. However , this method is unhealthy as we want to adjust the percentage of Ex- action Lot , there are no standard. The main problem on distri- butive droit of Zone Expropriation is ill-considered about the value of floor area ratio. The purpose of this study is tryiny to know how to distribute the dorit of Zone Expropriation from the viewpoint of cost side. The basic idea comes from Copera- tion Constrution. The methodology of the study is simulation. There are two points different from foregone researches in this study, one is when government distribute the dorit of Zone Expropriation must considerate about society cost. The other is that we must thought of the relation between public facilities and floor area ratio in the distributive model.

The thesis deals with issues relating to the ownership of land, analysing it on two different levels. On the first level, it defines the ownership of the land, particularly its object and subject, and also describes the specific properties of soil, and their manifestations in land property rights and related legislation. On the second level, the work discusses selected institutes in terms of problematic issues that have arisen in connection with the introduction of the Act no. 89/2012 Coll., Civil Code, which has brought into our legal system new institutes or modified to some extent the old ones. The thesis compares the current and the previous legislation and with the aid of the specialized literature seeks to answer the question whether it is possible to perceive these changes positively or whether they are considered rather negative and problematic.

Driven by the traditional concept of “ The land you own lies your money”, land is viewed as a symbol of richness. We are mistaken that owning a huge expanse of land means owning a huge amount of money. We neglect that land’s value actually lies in its effective use. Taking Taiwan Sugar Corporation(TSC)(one of the state-own businesses) as an example, in recent ten years, TSC in Kaohsiung City has received approximately a hundred hectares of land after urban land readjustment and zone expropriation, and the lands are mostly left undeveloped. Every year TSC must pay not only a high amount of property tax but aperiodically has to pay land management fees. Undoubtedly, vacant lots located in the urban area will bring a big financial burden on the land owner and will also form a waste of land resources. The research aims at the problem of over supply of the urban vacant lot due to the overly-development in the urban area or the policy goes unworkable. Based on the government’s reward policy for vacant lot use, by exerting the tax avoidance strategy of saving the property tax, by means of four financial analysis methods, such as Discounted Payback Method, Benefit-Cost Ratio, Net Present Value, and Internal Rate of Return to use as the basis of the effect analysis of the vacant lot. In addition, through the establishment of the evaluation model of the vacant lot effective use, we find the best base that should be used and developed in the first order. At last, we analyze respectively the financial effects of two real cases with government rewards, one is rewarded by investing and setting up a temporary parking lot and the other is by complying with the greening project. The research tells us that the idle urban vacant lot in the pre-development stage has the need of being put for transitional use, especially the ones located in the high-priced zone. To choose and effectively use the vacant land located in the high-priced zone and to comply with the government’s reward policy to attain the goal of property tax avoidance should be a good strategy for Taiwan Sugar Corporation to deal with the problem of idle urban vacant lot.

This diploma thesis deals with ownership rights to land. Due to change in legislation caused by Act No. 89/2012 Sb., Civil Code, there were many substantial changes in the area of land ownership, which have extensive impact on some of the institutes of this ownership. This thesis deals exactly with these changes and with newly or more precisely repeatedly implemented institutes of land ownership. Whole thesis aims to give some analysis of this institute with main focus on its specifics and differences. This object is fulfilled by general interpretation, which deals with characteristics of land ownership and its specifics and then it analyses some particular institutes of land ownership mainly those which were considerably changed or newly established by the ratification of the present Civil Code. Next to comparison of present and previous Czech legislation the last chapter of this thesis is devoted to comparison of Czech and German legislation.

Realestate developerstend to conduct an investment feasibility analysis in terms of market conditions, product characteristics, market competitiveness, and economic efficiencybefore they proceed to acquire land for their developmentprojects. As such, many professionalsin the industryhave considered it necessary to establish and followa modelof assessment to facilitate their decision-making process and ensure the effectiveness of their investment. Their need inspired an attempt to exploreand modify theconventionalunscientific decision-making assessments for theconstruction of a more suitable assessment model for project development and product positioning. This study was conducted as a case study of the development of land lotsdesignated for residential buildingsonthe 5th Redevelopment Zone of Anping District in order to establish a model to develop and position the housing productsin the real estate market. Based on a review of the literature, itproceeded witha variety of methods includingPorter's Five Forces Model, SWOT analysis, sales data analysis, in-depth interviews with residents in Anping District, and analysis of product planning, to achieve a better understanding of the defects arising from improper housing development and sales projects in the past, as well as the reasons whypeople purchasehousing units in the district. According to the results of this study, real estatedevelopers should base their decisions for project development on a more comprehensive evaluation of relevant data and market acceptability to position the housing productsin the target market and serve the needs of customers moreeffectively and appropriately, as is shown in this research model. This investigation was based on the house-building projects data collected in Anping over past years. We analyzed the house-building projects data uging the Porter five forces analysis and finacial analysis including evaluations of home builder brands. The new home’s product positioning strategy is interior space over 200 square meters and focused on the people who want to buy a second home or more for peer reference.

Land ownership is specific not only for the unique features of the land but also because it constitutes an extremely important legal institute that affects the existence and functioning of the modern human society. Land ownership is historically inherently connected with the churches and has also been the subject of frequent disputes. The property of churches was also subject to continuous public oversight, which was intensified during the period of the reform of the Josef II, Holy Roman Emperor and subsequently intensified in the course of the 20th century, when numerous limitations of ownership right toward land were made. In this thesis I focus on the specifics of land ownership of churches, their description and historical development. In conclusion of my work I discuss the process of the settlement between Czech state and churches in relation to lands that have been the subject of proprietary wrongdoing and, all on the basis of the long-awaited Act No. 428/2012 Coll., on property settlement with churches and religious societies. Due to my previous work experience at the law firm, where I was able to participate in the assessment of the requests for historically expropriated land and other immovable property applied by authorized persons, I decided to break down the subject matter in my diploma...
