A new method of delimitation of the urbanization level based on the morphology of the structure of the land division into parcels

In this paper we presented a new structural criterion of land delimitation and a new metod of determination of the urbanization level. The metod is based on the morphology of the structure resulting from the division of land into the parcels. It uses the fact that there are only three morphological classes of the distribution of the parcel areas: (i) reverse power law with the exponent equal to 2, (ii) log-normal distribution, and (iii) reverse power law with the exponent equal to 1. These distributions correspond, respectively, to the city core, suburbs, and rural area. The analysis is based on the GIS maps.     ...

Selected problems of updating lands use at example of roads investments

The subject of this article is an analysis of updating lands use in process of preparation and setting out of roads investments. In order to determine the proper range of land use the terms of road and road right-of-way were compared. With an example of selected roads investments from capital city of Warsaw area, it has been investigated the time consumption of changing existing lad use in cadastre. The complex of factors having impact on possibilities of changing former land use on needs for elaboration of serveying documentation and registering by administrative power running cadastre were detarmined . Documents being basis for making change in land use and in cadastre for "roads", independently from investment fullfilment course in investment within range of roads, have been examined. There were presented two solutions , differing in moment of making change of land use long-lasting process of road construction. On the basis of SWOT analysis one identified strong and weak points of each approved solution. Consequences of out-of-date cadastre data have been determined. Land use updating importance for spatial planning was stressed. Regulation cohering was proposed in order to unify land use verification procedure in pursued investment. ...
