“…The research differs from many prior studies because we focused on the land use restrictions due to negative externalities generated by the airport operations (mainly aircraft noise) not the relation between property prices and noise itself. Contrary to some other recent research [62], we have not found strong evidence to support the hypothesis that the introduction of LLUA has a significant impact on property prices. We found some evidence that the introduction of land use restrictions can cause property price decrease, yet the results remain fairly inconclusive (and dependent on model specification).…”

In this paper, we investigate the influence of airport operation on property prices. In this research, we apply spatial hedonic regression and a difference-in-differences approach to address the introduction of new land use restrictions on property prices. We use data on housing transactions from two housing submarkets around regional airports in Poland. The results suggest that the introduction of land use restrictions impacts property prices. In general, as expected, more rigid restrictions translate into higher discounts in property prices. This research contributes to the limited knowledge on the impact of the introduction of land use restrictions on property prices, as most previous papers have focused solely on the impact of noise. These findings must be treated with caution, as some estimates were not statistically significant, mainly due to limited sample size. The research has important policy implications. Growing airports in Poland face tensions between economic and environmental sustainability. Currently, airports in Poland are obliged to limit their environmental impact by creating limited use areas related to the aircraft related noise while being responsible for property value loss related to these restrictions. As a consequence, most regional airports face significant compensations to property owners.

“…In addition, the location in LUA, the increase in distance from the city center, urban green areas, and lakes negatively impacted the apartment's price. This supports the findings of earlier studies in Poland [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]. The differences in parameter values between OLS and QR models were small.…”

This article attempts to use spatial maps as a way of presenting additional information about the phenomena occurring in the housing market. In our opinion, spatial maps may facilitate understanding and provide more detailed information, which undoubtedly should increase the transparency of the housing market. The study used 12,219 transactions of apartments in Poznań in the years 2013–2017. General principles of price visualization activity and housing market dynamics were established in this study. The map of prices may reflect the location values determined by the quality of the urban infrastructure, distance from specific locations, and environmental factors. Market activity maps reveal areas where the market is dynamically developing, while information on trends in the number of transactions and price changes may demonstrate the growing or declining attractiveness of areas. The research is based on a model of hedonic regression in the form of ordinary least squares (OLS), quantile regression (QR), and geographically weighted regression (GWR). The maps presented should increase the transparency of the residential market (e.g., by providing more detailed information). However, one should bear in mind the limitations in the use of these methods resulting from a small number of transactions in a thin market.

“…Warsaw Chopin Airport (also known as Okęcie Airport) was opened in 1934 [22] and is currently the biggest airport in Poland with an area of approximately 6,800,000 m 2 . It has two intersecting runways (3690 × 60 m; 2800 × 50 m) with an asphalt surface and the capacity for 35 aircraft operations per hour [4]. It is a busy airport with approximately 17.7 million passengers annually (2018) and their amount is continuously growing [22].…”

“…Passenger operations constitute approximately 86% of all the aircraft movements at the airport. The Chopin Airport was built on a former military airfield and is currently a city airport, located just 8 km from the city center [4]. The area lies in the continental humid climate zone according to the classification by Köppen-Geiger.…”

Environmental Impact Assessment of Potentially Toxic Elements in Soils Near the Runway at the International Airport in Central Europe

et al. 2020

The environmental impacts of air transport and air transportation systems have become increasingly important and are heavily debated. The aim of the study was to determine the degree of soil contamination by the potentially toxic elements (Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in the vicinity of the airport runway and to evaluate whether airport traffic has had factual toxic effects on airport vegetation. The overall assessment of soil contamination by means of the Nemerow integrated pollution index indicated slight pollution; evaluation by the geoaccumulation index evinced moderate contamination by Zn and nonexistent to moderate contamination by Cu, Ni, and Pb. A significant difference between the take-off and landing sections of the runway was not statistically confirmed. The vegetation risk assessment by means of the potential ecological risk index (RI) showed the low ecological risk, while the phytotoxicity test revealed an inhibition of up to 33.7%, with a slight inhibition of 16.7% on average, and thus low toxic effects of airport traffic on airport vegetation. The results of the linear regression model between phytotoxicity and RI manifested no relation between the two. The outcomes from other studies suggest that the range of elements and the extent of contamination can be highly variable at different airports and frequently affected by car traffic. Therefore, further research on this issue is needed for the more precise determination of the elements emitted by air traffic at airports.
