“General Plan” in Real Estate Valuation for Selected Planning Purposes
The article presents considerations on the importance of the provisions of the municipality’s general plan referred to in the Act of March 27, 2023 on Spatial Planning and Development, as well as the importance of the provisions of the local general plan, referred to in the Act of July 12, 1984 on Spatial Planning when estimating real estate for the purposes of determining the amount of compensation and fees referred to in Art. 36 section 3 and 4 of the Act on Spatial Planning and Development. Due to the fact that the Act of 1984 refers to the general spatial development plan of settlement units (called the general plan), prepared and adopted on the basis of the Act of January 31, 1961 with the same name, the article also discusses this type of plan. Moreover, activities related to determining the value of real estate were indicated, including the above-mentioned planning purposes, and the understanding of concepts such as “real estate data” and “intended use in the local plan” were presented. Attention was also focused on the essence of the above-mentioned types of plans, as well as the differences between the general plan of the commune and the local general plan and general spatial development plan of settlement units.

Analysis of greenery coverage of the area of the City ofWarsaw on the quality of life of residents on the basis of spatial and statistical data
Biologically active areas play an extremely important role in the structure of a city and increasing their coverage, especially in large urban centres, is an activity with a number of advantages. This article compares, in terms of green spaces, two European cities of similar size – Warsaw (517.2 km2) and Oslo (454 km2). Both cities are capitals of their respective countries but implement different spatial policies in the scope of the Green Deal. In Warsaw, many industrial and post-industrial areas still exist and simultaneously urban green areas are decreasing year by year. In Oslo, a strategy based on deindustrialisation of the city and possible maximum use of urban greenery and public spaces is implemented. The research described in this article involved analysing the coverage of the analysed cities and their districts with biologically active area and then checking the correlation with other indicators that can be affected by this coverage. These included data on the incidence of the most common diseases among residents, the attractiveness of living for the elderly and families with children, as well as air and soil pollution and the occurrence of negative effects of climate change. The correlation of urban space use in terms of the presence of industrial land in relation to currently existing green spaces in the districts concerned was subsequently determined.

Assessing the Efficiency of Regional Policy Tools
Implementing the Strategy of Spatial Development of the Russian Federation involves various regional policy measures and requires choosing the most appropriate tools. The issue gains importance in case of combining the search for additional sources of growth with an integrated system for assessing the efficiency of the existing measures. Admittedly, such system in the Russian Federation is still in its formation. Therefore, in order to implement public policy, it is crucial to critically analyse the most significant aspects of the methodology for assessing the efficiency. The concept of «efficiency», apart from efficiency itself, includes he performance, impact, and usability of the tool. The assessment of the efficiency varies in different countries, as it is not a single practice that can be applied regardless of geographical and historical context. The paper substantiates the idea that the assessment of the efficienc y includes th e examinatio n o f social , cultura l an d politica l elements . The assessment is a flexi ble management tool, not just an instrument demonstrating the reduction of regional differences. Drawing on the principles of spatial hierarchy, the paper suggests assessing the efficiency of regional policy tools at the macro-, meso- and micro-regional levels. The assessment focuses on solving four large classes of applied problems: provision of public goods, forms of the spatial organisation of the economy, implementation of regional and macro-regional programs, and the development of large projects. The characteristics of the assessment of the efficiency depend on the choice of either endogenous or exogenous growth theory. Additionally, the assessment of the efficiency of a variety of programs (multi-criteria evaluation) specifically differs from the assessment of individual programs of spatial development. It is advisable to consider the practice of assessment in a broader context, not just as a task of financial and management control. The research findings can be used for creating an integrated system that provides feedback, organises the consequences of regional policies and the effects of achieving national development goals.

The feasibility of offshore aquaculture and its potential for multi-use in the North Sea
Following the Blue Growth ambition of the European Commission, the interest in the potential of offshore is growing. This paper aimed to contribute to the discussion on the feasibility of offshore aquaculture development and its potential for multi-use with other maritime activities. A review of national and international projects forms the basis of the paper, where the Dutch North Sea is used as a case-study area. Analysis of technical, economic and ecological boundaries indicated that the potential of fish culture is limited, that seaweed cultivation is likely to gain potential when challenges related to processing will be overcome and that mussel culture has the highest potential in the near future. The North Sea is an area where many stakeholders claim space, which might set boundaries to the number of sites available for mussel culture. Competing claims are a potential source of conflict but may also lead to mutual benefits when smart combinations are sought, e.g. with wind parks, fisheries and nature conservation; especially, the possibility of combining mussel culture in or around wind parks is worthwhile to be further explored. A spatial distribution model adapted for the Dutch North Sea conditions demonstrated that offshore mussel production in wind farms can be profitable. Yet, the commercial interest for offshore development of mussel culture is still limited. Actions required to stimulate further development of the offshore mussel industry are presented for the government, the private sector, research institutes and civil society organizations.

Understanding Industrial Land Development on Rural-Urban Land Transformation of Jakarta Megacity’s Outer Suburb
After decentralization, there was massive development in Jakarta megacity’s outer suburbs (JMOS), especially in Bekasi and Tangerang regencies, marked by large-scale industrial estate/park (LSIEP) and followed by new town developments. However, this process led to the emergence of “chaotic” urban-rural land patterns. This study sought to identify the extent to which LSIEP development has affected rural-urban land transformation (RULT). The primary data were land use/cover (LUC) data from 2005, 2015, and 2020 and the LSIEP distributions. The methods applied are the Patch-generating Land Use Simulation (PLUS) model for 2025’s LUC prediction and the RULT index approach, RULT index development using the analytical hierarchy process. These combined approaches were novel in Indonesia, which usually relies on Cellular Automata (CA)-Markov, overlay (spatial), and descriptive statistics analyses to describe the RULT phenomenon. It was found that the villages located around the LSIEP close to the Jakarta megacity toll road network and those adjacent to the municipality (city) had been transformed into urban areas, while villages far from those locations were still rural. This study’s results help clarify the rural to urban transformation in Jakarta megacity’s outer suburbs and could be used as input for spatial planning policy.

Interwar-period villa development in Katowice’s so-called South District: overview, authenticity and integrity of the cultural landscape
The development of Katowice was determined by many factors – political, economic and spatial, as well as the railways and industry. The two decades of the interwar period proved especially crucial here, as the city, as a capital of the autonomous Silesian Voivdoeship, expanded considerably during this time. The objective of this study was to identify distinctive features of the landscape of the so-called south district of Katowice and the stock and state of preservation of the districts’ villa-type buildings. This area is positively distinguished by its architectural and landscape diversity, and there are visible links to 19th-century urban planning principles here. The villa buildings, on the other hand, together with their surrounding gardens, are a fairly diverse group, occurring in compact ensembles. The largest group consists of buildings that form so-called colonies, with the next most-numerous being singular buildings that form layouts or individual structures that supplement colonies and layouts. Stylistically, they present a wide spectrum – from Academic Classicism to Functionalism. Unfortunately, as found over the course of this research, modernisation works negatively affect the buildings’ authenticity, and thus their historical, cultural and landscape values diminish.

Policy interpretations and manifestation of biocultural diversity in urbanized Europe: conservation of lived biodiversity
Biocultural diversity, which refers to the inextricable link between biodiversity and cultural diversity, has been predominantly associated with the traditional ways in which indigenous people in tropical countries interact with the natural environment. But it does not have to be restricted to these circumstances. Biocultural diversity may also be regarded as an interesting concept for understanding how people in industrialized and globalized societies deal with nature. This paper explores biocultural diversity in 20 European cities by considering (i) how biocultural diversity is interpreted in urban planning and governance, and (ii) what actual manifestations of biocultural diversity are present in these cities. Despite the fact that the concept of biocultural diversity was hardly recognized by city authorities, interviewees gave many examples of how biodiversity and cultural diversity are taken into account in (in) formal city policies. The research revealed two main manifestations of biocultural diversity within urban Europe: biocultural diversity grounded in ecological features, and cultural values as a basic foundation for biocultural diversity. Consequently, urban biocultural diversity was found to have two spatial levels: the city level and the site level. The former is the domain of governmental policy makers who discuss biocultural diversity in ‘green space networks’ in a rather static way. The latter is the domain where citizens participate in decisionmaking and the management of green spaces; it is here that cultural dynamics are most acknowledged.

Spatial differentiation and coupling between village development intensity and landscape pattern of 100 villages in Anhui, China
Spatial development and landscape pattern are fundamental elements of the land system of village. Analysing the spatial differentiation and coupling relationship between spatial development intensity and landscape pattern is of great significance for the development and protection of village land resources. In order to address the current research lack on the coupling response between village spatial development intensity and landscape pattern, a technical method for analysing the spatial differentiation and coupling relationship between village spatial development intensity and landscape pattern is constructed based on the methods of village spatial development intensity model, landscape pattern index, bivariate spatial autocorrelation model, coupling degree and coupling coordination degree model. Taking 100 villages in Anhui Province, China as an example, the spatial distribution characteristics and coupling characteristics of village spatial development intensity and landscape pattern are analysed. The results show that there are obvious regional differences in the spatial distribution of village spatial development intensity and landscape pattern in Anhui Province. The village spatial development intensity shows a pattern of the Northern Anhui plain region (NAPR) > along the Yangtze River plain region (YRPR) > Jiang-huai Hilly region (JHHR) > Southern Anhui mountainous region (SAMR) > Western Anhui mountainous region (WAMR). The village landscape pattern in NAPR and YRPR are high fragmentation, while the village in JHHR has the lowest fragmentation, and the villages in SAMR and WAMR show relatively low fragmentation. The spatial coupling relationship between village spatial development intensity and landscape pattern is mainly characterised by high-high clustering and low-high clustering. The coupling coordinated development of villages in NAPR is the best, followed by YRPR, JHHR and SAMR, and WAMR is the worst. There is only a significant multi-linear relationship between village landscape pattern and multiple spatial development intensity indicators in WAMR and NAPR. The spatial differentiation and coupling relationship are influenced by both natural geographical factors and human activity factors. Finally, the study puts forward some targeted countermeasures and suggestions. The research results can provide theoretical method and practical application reference for village land space development and protection and village planning.
