Spatial structure research by analysing land prices
Abstract
During the period of planned economy, without the forces of market economy, land prices were not taken into consideration as the factors of settlement development appropriate to their significance. In the current socio-economic conditions, land prices are notably influenced not only by the regu- larity of demand and supply but also by social judgement. Land prices can provide the most realistic view of different social judgements in a region. Expanding the investigations related to land price analysis, a study by Tánczos-szabó L. (2012) demonstrates the territorial aspects of the issue through the example of Bács-Kiskun county enrich- ing the methodology of spatial structure researches. The land price map of Bács-Kiskun County demonstrates the main features of the spatial structrure and the characteristics of the centre-periphery relationships at municipal level. Based on the results of our researches, we can state that land price analysis can be utilized in spatial structure researches.
