A GIS-Based Web Approach for Serving Land Price Information

Abstract

Participants in the land market are usually hampered to browse and analyze the land price information due to the lack of information sources and available analysis tools. A service-oriented GIS-based web system was developed to provide a practical solution, its essential data sources contain basic geographic elements and benchmark land price (BLP)-related information. Core models for land price analysis were implemented, including land price index, spatial distribution, and parcel appraisal. The system was developed based on a four-level Browse Server (B/S) architecture using GIS and web service technologies, which enables the publishing, browsing, and analysis of the land price information via the Internet. With effective functionalities, the system has been employed in a project for updating BLP in a case study city located in China. The main advantage of the GIS-based web approach lies in its integration of spatial-temporal analysis models and web GIS technology, which allows more investors and administrators with limited domain knowledge to obtain further understanding on the change pattern and spatial distribution of land price by an online means. The experience in the case study city demonstrates that the approach has strong practicality for land price information services.

A Web-based geo-marketing decision support system for land selection: a case study of Tehran, Iran

“…One of the main problems that buyers are facing with is the selection of appropriate or suitable lands among a set of available land parcels (Cao et al 2001;Ford, Rutherford, and Yavas 2005;Turk, Kitapci, and Dortyol 2014;Zhang, Zhu, and Ye 2016). The selection process involves land parcels that should be evaluated on the basis of a number of quantitative and qualitative criteria according to the buyers' preferences (Zeng and Zhou 2000;Ford, Rutherford, and Yavas 2005;Natividade-Jesus, Coutinho-Rodrigues, and Antunes 2007;Xu and Li 2014;Yang et al 2015). For example, a buyer needs to consider a set of nonspatial criteria (e.g.…”

“…In the currently used real-estate web services, buyers are not able to specify their values and interests with respect to the criteria (i.e. preferences prioritization) (Becker 2013;Yang et al 2015). Even though importance, value and potential of a land are fundamentally determined by its location and multiple criteria (Cliquet 2013;Zhang, Zhu, and Ye 2016), the above services don't support multi-criteria spatial analysis-based services.…”

Development of a Mobile GIS Property Mapping Application using Mobile Cloud Computing

“…ArcGIS server was used to display, query and analyze land prices. The features of the GIS based Web Application included, map frame for viewing of spatial land price Information, Zoom www.ijacsa.thesai.org in/out, map printing, document download, upload of new data sets of spatial and attribute data [20].…”

An Internet-Based GIS Platform Providing Data for Visualization and Spatial Analysis of Urbanization in Major Asian and African Cities

“…The development of such GWS and web mapping technologies is a recent tendency in geoscience. Most modern GWS adopts three-tier client-server architecture for system implementation [19,24,25], that includes a user interface tier, Web Services (WS) tier, and data server tier. However, in contrast to the traditional three-level architecture, platforms with massive spatial querying utilize an additional tier for extracting the GWS from the traditional WS tier, to an independent GWS tier as a four-level client-server architecture [13].…”

“…The third tier is the GWS tier where the spatial analysis modules are carried out and enveloped. MEGA-WEB utilizes a mashup framework [25] to merge the third-party map services with the MEGA-WEB original GWS (including the cloud database). However, some of the support third-party map services libraries are discontinued, in consideration of the stability, expansibility, and supported service types [22].…”
