The Valuation of Land in Land Consolidation and Relevant Administrative Procedures in the Conditions of the Slovak Republic

Abstract

This scientific study focuses on the assessment of the legislation on land valuation, which takes place in the framework of selected administrative procedures in the Slovak Republic. The issue of land valuation is regulated in several pieces of legislation and, in terms of content, is their unifying feature of the valuation of land for public purposes. The reason for examining the determination of the so-called “administrative price of land” is the fact that, in practice, the administrative procedures analyzed are extremely time-consuming and considerably inefficient compared to other administrative practices. Another reason for analyzing the legislation on land valuation is the fact that they also have a direct impact on the speed of the related administrative procedures and on the use of land for private purposes and, therefore, on the actual exercise of the property rights to which the parties to those proceedings are legally entitled. The main objective of this study is to examine the quantity, quality, and differences of legislation allowing land valuation for land consolidation purposes and to compare it with land valuation for restitution and expropriation purposes. In the processing of the topic, we primarily used the method of critical legal analysis and suitable and available scientific methods designed for law examinations, such as description or synthesis. In the context of the examination, we also applied a comparative method to compare the development of the legal situation of the Slovak Republic with the Czech Republic. We also used scientific and doctrinal interpretations associated with the application of case law on Slovak and Czech legislation, as well as professional and scientific literature contained in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The results of the study indicate that, despite the multi-annual effectiveness of the legislation, it would be appropriate to resolve the problems encountered in the Slovak Republic by adopting a new code regulating the issue of land consolidation.

Place Naming and Place Making: The Social Construction of Rural Landscape

“…These post structuralist approaches of landscapes, with a strong focus on narratives, emphasise the importance of stories that different agents tell via words, pictures, feelings, or emotions. However narratives of landscapes have a strong effect on the material landscape itself because all narrators demand to fit the material world into their ideas [1,4,10,[25][26][27]. DuPuis [25] has pointed out that social elites fit rural landscapes into their idyllic imagination of the rural: "elites create their identity through creating pure, idyllic landscapes devoid of rowdy teenagers, homosexuals, the homeless, or women working the land, in favour of landscapes exhibiting rurality as order, purity, middle-class prosperity, family and masculinity" [25].…”

Multidisciplinary Evaluation of Vulnerabilities: Communities in Northern Mexico

“…Anyway, the possession of legal papers also contributes to the generation of a sense of recognition, which can play a very important role in reducing the vulnerabilities' perception [30,31]. For these reasons, in order to reduce possible vulnerabilities of land consolidation and valuation, new codes and rules are more and more needed in our legislation systems [32,33]. In particular, this is true when legislation faces contemporary challenges, such as migration issues [34].…”
