WG Land and property management – Geodetic Institute

Land and property management (FIM) offers implementation-orientated strategies and ccoperative solutions for the sustainable development of villages and towns as well as developed and undeveloped land in inner and outer areas. It also ensures the expert valuation of properties an - by analysing spatial and temporal development - the transparency of property markets.

Fields of expertise of the working group

Utilising new data offerings in land and property management

The competence field deals with current developments in spatial data offerings (INSPIRE, OPEN Data) and develops ways to generate specialised knowledge from these offerings ("We are drowning in information - but we are starving for knowledge!", J. Naisbitt). To this end, quality requirements are determined from the FIM user perspective, multi-data approaches are pursued and made manageable for research approaches in land and property management through user-friendly automation and visualisation - often based on geographic information systems (GIS).

Valuation and market transparency

This area of expertise deals with property valuation and market transparency. It uses and researches new value-relevant dependencies and uses statistical methods, such as cluster analysis or Bayesian statistics, to describe the land and property market. Spatial analysis techniques such as spatial interpolation methods and visualisation techniques are also used.

Urban-rural FIM

The Urban-Rural-FIM area of expertise deals with existing and future requirements for sustainable land management in the context of changing urban-rural understandings and relationships. The primary field of interest is the interplay between land ownership, land management and spatial development in urban and rural areas. One thematic focus is on researching the changing requirements for services of general interest in rural areas, with a focus on the feasibility of new infrastructure network models and concepts.
