This paper presents an empirical methodology for the evaluation of the beneÞts and costs of land use planning. The technique is applied in the context of the Town and Country Planning System of the UK, and examines the gross and net beneÞts of land use regulation and their distribution across income groups. The results show that the welfare and distributional impacts can be large. Proposed Runn...

This chapter introduces our newly developed Spatially explicit Urban Land-use Model (SULM) as a tool for resilient urban planning. The SULM can create land-use and social economic scenarios at micro districts level based on an urban economic theory. In order to co-design transformative urban plans with local stake holders, it is important to visualize possible future land-use scenarios. This mo...

Delivering sustainable development requires effective management of social, environmental and economic aspects of land. Historically, land administration systems have contributed to this by recording and organising interests in land, primarily through land registration, land mapping, land valuation and land development subsystems. Unfortunately these subsystems have established diversified serv...

Laser scanning, including both the airborne and terrestrial laser scanning, is one of the most interesting and potential 3D data acquisition and monitoring techniques, which can support future studies of real estate and environmental economic. Vast data sets, even covering whole countries, challenge existing manners of proceeding. Existing laser data can be used for multidisciplinary tasks, suc...

This paper assesses the impact of Siam’s 1901 Land Title Deed Act on land markets and land use in Bangkok. Using a sample of orchard title deeds issued in the 1880s, this study investigates the incidence of land transfers and subsequent land use patterns both before and after the transition from usufruct to full private ownership rights as a result of the 1901 Act. Survival analysis shows that ...

Land reforms in developing countries provide a good experiment for study on development economics, and in the case Taiwan the land reform provides specific historical context for us to closely examine the relationship between redistribution and growth. In this paper, we use panel data on the fifteen counties of Taiwan around 1950s and 1960s to empirically evaluate whether redistributive land re...
