This paper compares the performance of a two-sided combinatorial call market, direct negotiation, and double auction for consolidating fragmented land. Experimental results suggest direct negotiation produces higher efficiencies than other mechanisms. The combinatorial call market tends to alleviate the exposure problem, and performs well when 1) swapping is easily agreeable, and 2) the number ...

Significant developments in the field of remote sensing have widened the application fields of remote sensing. One of the application fields is a land consolidation project. Multi-temporal and/or multi-sensor remote sensing provides a unique tool to track land utilization dynamics but requires precise registration of thousands of satellite images. However, automatic registration between remote ...

Land consolidation is a powerful land management planning approach aiming for rural sustainable development. Land reallocation that involves the land tenure restructuring is the most important process in such schemes. The most critical parameter used in land reallocation is land value which in Cyprus is reflected by the market value. The conventional land valuation process is a type of mass app...

Although it is difficult, many countries are attempting to balance economic development and cultivated land preservation for various reasons. China’s experience is a good illustration of such challenges during rapid economic development and urbanization. The central government of China emphasized the high self-sufficiency ratio of grain and therefore set a bottom-line for the area of cultivated...

-Remote Sensing technologies provide the spatial data/maps and offer great advantages for a land consolidation project. But sometimes in some regions, optics and infrared remote sensing can not work well. SAR (Synthetic aperture radar), an active microwave remote sensing imaging radar, has the unique capabilities of obtaining abundant electromagnetic information from ground objects all day/all ...

Eco-environmental sustainability is the basis for sustainable development in ecologically fragile areas. Land consolidation plays an important role coordinating human-land relationships and achieving economic growth eco-environment protection. Taking Loess Plateau as study area, this paper diagnoses associated eco-environmental problems their chain effect. The research results show that overall...
