Corrections on optimising land parcel allocation to farms including distances between land parcels and farm homesteads

The aim of optimizing the allocation procedure of parcels to farms is to minimize distances between the lands and the farm buildings. Parcels allocated to farms using an optimized process of allocation are not clearly (unambiguously) determined. The allocation is of a highly random character, and, thus, adequate corrections should be applied. In the paper, three corrections are presented, which make it possible to obtain an optimal solution. The corrections deal with the unnecessary dislocation of parcels within farms, aim at reducing the number of parcels, and eliminate excessive increases in distances between the cultivated lands and the farm buildings. The corrections developed are exemplified by the case of a village of Wojków. In this village, upon the implemented corrections, the farms concerned still possess, to the highest possible extent, all the parcels they had prior to the optimization applied. Moreover, those farms consist of the fewest number of parcels and do not show unnecessary increase in the distances between their homestead areas and their lands. The corrected allotment procedures of parcels to farms could be usefully applied while determining a layout of parcels within farms in the blocks selected for the purpose of consolidating them, and, also, when the ...

– Allometric relationship for cities linking numer of land parcels, area of a city, and population

In this paper the allometric relationship between the number of land parcels within administrative boundaries of a city, Nd, total area of a city, Stot, and the population of a city, N, were investigated. As a result of the analysis, the three ex-ponents S, d, and  of the allometric relations Stot  NS, Nd  Nd, and Nd  Stot were determined.     ...

Usabilities evaluation of cadastral maps of former Austrian cadastre for real estate legal status regulation in southern Poland

The documentation of Austrian cadastre has a very important significance in the process of real estate legal status regulation in southern Poland. Both descriptive and cartographic part of this documentation is especially useful during preparing a specification of synchronization for land parcel and plot of land, which is many a time a necessary condition of revealing ownership right in land register. Transformation of former Austrian cadastra' map and coordinates into a frame of reference "2000" enables compilation of former Austrian cadastra' map with digital land and buildings register map.     ...
