Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recording information about land ownership dates back to ancient times yet cadastre is currenly undergoing rapid development in terms of data acquisition, storage, processing and dissemination. However, this work is progressing at different rates in different parts of the world. Additionally, a variety of problems arises from historical, functional and legal conditions specific to individual regions. Cadastral data are also widely used in other areas of life and form the basis for, among other things, spatial planning and the tax system. Understanding the differences, but also the principles of operation, of cadastres in different parts of the world, studying their development and expanding the scope of information they cover, is an important contribution to broadening our knowledge.

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather together articles (original scientific articles and review articles) containing insights into the creation, improvement and expansion of cadastral systems. Research articles on the use and quality of cadastral data in other areas of life are also welcome. A strong regional and scalar diversity of articles is also desirable.

In this Special Issue, we are interested in articles based on empirical research, conceptual/theoretical work and review articles containing insights into the following topics:

- Analyses of cadastral development, including comparative analyses;

- The difficulties and limitations of building cadastral systems;

- The use of cadastral data for various purposes;

- Links between the quality of cadastral data and the development of other areas of life;

- Multidimensional cadastral models.

We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews.

Implementation of Equivalence-Based Land Readjustment Model Using a Hybridized Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

Land readjustment (LR) constitutes the foundation of orderly and sustainable urbanization, serving as the primary implementation tool for development plans. LR implementations are generally addressed within the framework of development implementation models—namely area-based, value-based, and hybrid models—based on the principle of redistribution. The present study aims to implement an equivalence-based LR model in the Davultepe Neighborhood of Mezitli, Mersin. In addition, it compares an equivalence-based LR implementation with an area-based LR implementation. The area-based LR implementation was conducted according to Article 18 of Law No. 3194 within the scope of Turkish Zoning Legislation. The equivalence-based implementation was performed using the hybridized multi-criteria decision analysis methods—specifically, SWARA and WASPAS. Cadastral and zoning criteria were determined separately. For data related to spatial criteria, walking distances were calculated using network analysis in Geographic Information Systems software. The weighting of the criteria was performed using the SWARA method. Cadastral and zoning parcels were treated as alternatives, and the WASPAS weight for each parcel was determined. The results indicate that, although allocated zoning parcel areas were generally smaller than the original cadastral parcel areas, in some cases, they exceeded the cadastral parcel areas due to the allocation of zoning parcels designated for agricultural use.

The rapid urbanization of Pleiku City, Vietnam, has led to a sharp increase in the demand for and prices of residential land, creating challenges for urban management and land valuation. This study aims to identify and quantify the key factors influencing residential land prices in Pleiku to provide a scientific basis for land use planning and smart urban development. Data were collected through surveys of 30 state officials involved in land valuation and 250 households living along major streets in Pleiku. Cronbach’s alpha was used to test the reliability of the collected data, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify influencing factor groups. The results show that residential land prices are strongly influenced by multiple factors, with location and infrastructure playing the most decisive roles. Market land prices were found to be approximately 1.5–2 times higher than state-regulated prices. Among the identified factor groups, location and infrastructure had the strongest influence, followed by economic, social, legal, and specific land use factors. Price differences between land plots mainly reflect variations in location, street characteristics, accessibility, and commercial potential. The study concludes that location and infrastructure development are the dominant drivers of residential land prices in Pleiku. These findings have important implications for land valuation, urban planning, and the implementation of smart urban construction policies in rapidly developing cities in Vietnam. Full article

Multi-criteria decision-making models are very useful tools for use in the process of land consolidation project choice. However, they can lead to wrong or suboptimal choices. Under limited budgetary conditions (where the available budget does not cover all project candidates’ requirements for their realization), it is necessary to make a proper choice regarding financial asset distribution. This process should lead to the best possible budget distribution, i.e., to the choice of land consolidation projects that promises the maximal return on the assets invested. In this research, the authors have conducted theoretical research based on real data to determine the sensitivity of the choice of land consolidation projects with regard to the influence of the chosen criteria for decision-making. The utilized data were obtained via four multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods (AHP, VIKOR, SAW and TOPSIS). The method used for investigating the influence of certain criteria on decision-making was based on a multidimensional linear regression method where the rank of a land consolidation project is a dependent variable, while the values of criteria are independent variables.
