The paper presents a conceptual model for the disposition of state agricultural land. The model is made as an extension of the Croatian Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) country profile. The ...LADM 19152:2012 is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard which provides a formal language to describe the basic information-related components of land administration. The aim of this research is to assess the possibility of using the LADM extension to efficiently manage state-owned agricultural land. Since more than half of state-owned agricultural land in Croatia is not activated, the priority is to increase usage and activate uncultivated agricultural land by users through disposition process. The disposition process is highly regulated and complex in procedures, and it poses difficulties for organizations in the implementation of disposition, so a model of successful management is necessary. The disposition process and the necessary steps are shown—mainly defined by legal regulations—and divided into two phases: the first phase is the development of the Program of Disposition of State-Owned Agricultural Land where the multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) for land potential analysis is crucial; the second phase is the realization of the disposition. In line with the disposition process, a Unified Modeling Language (UML) model for this LADM extension on the conceptual level was developed and is presented herein. Finally, the improvement of the agricultural land management system and the related processes are reviewed.
Fragmented agricultural land raises the costs of agricultural production. The land fragmentation manifests as a large number of relatively small and spatially divided land parcels of each owner. ...Additionally, the parcels are often very irregular in shape, which hinders an effective application of modern agricultural machinery. A land consolidation procedure, i.e., regrouping and merging partitioned agricultural land into larger and more regular parcels, and simultaneously arranging road and canal networks, enables a significant improvement in the conditions of agricultural production. The basis for conducting land consolidation is the legal framework. Multi-annual and annual plans are to specify priority areas for conducting consolidation. These plans should take into consideration the costs and benefits of land consolidation. To ascertain this, it is necessary to determine areas suitable for consolidation and express their qualitative features in a quantitative manner. The aim of this paper is to explore possibilities of using the official registers’ data to broad selection of land consolidation priority areas. To rank the chosen spatial units, various indicators have been selected and calculated at the state level. Multi-criteria analyses are commonly used as a tool for selection of the optimal solution scenario, using possibly conflicting indicators and measures. The paper used three different multi-criteria methods to determine Cadastral municipalities rankings. These rankings could be used by national agricultural or other spatial planning agencies to increase transparency and effectiveness through information-based decision making.

Fragmentacija zemljišta kojim raspolažu poljoprivredna gospodarstva u Republici Hrvatskoj i njihova mala prosječna veličina jedan je od glavnih ograničavajućih faktora održivosti obiteljskih ...poljoprivrednih gospodarstava. S obzirom na prepoznato stanje u RH, novim politikama ruralnog razvoja donose se mjere zemljišne politike kojima je svrha smanjivanje fragmentacije zemljišta. Ovaj rad obuhvaća pregled i ocjenu literature o metodama i tehnikama određivanja stupnja fragmentacije zemljišta, te pregled pokazatelja za određivanje fragmentacije zemljišta. Prikazani su relevantni statistički podaci o prosječnim veličinama poljoprivrednih gospodarstava u RH i EU. Određen je stupanj fragmentacije poljoprivrednih gospodarstava testne katastarske općine pomoću poznatih indeksa fragmentacije primjenom automatiziranih postupaka analiza prostornih podataka te su prikazani dobiveni podaci.
Land administration systems differ by their types and practices. The data dissemination practices are considered to be outdated, as in most cases the digitisation of land administration data was ...conducted to match the paper-based system. This paper reviews four different land administration data dissemination practices through four case studies, where each selected jurisdiction represents one land administration system type. The analysed LAS data dissemination practices were conducted for Croatia, England, New Zealand and Green County, OH, USA. The main goal of the analysis was to examine the differences and similarities between the respective countries’ land data practices provided by the excerpts related to one parcel. The identified differences and similarities might be of great use when it comes to further improvement and standardisation of land administration data dissemination practices.
The paper proposes a Model of priority ranking of cadastral parcels for planning the implementation of urban consolidation, which is a continuation of the published research on the assessment of ...fragmentation and assessment bonitet values of cadastral parcels. The research deals with one segment of the Spatial Decision Support System and is one process in the planning of urban consolidation. Comparison criteria were identified for the evaluation and priority ranking of cadastral parcels. The subject of the research is private cadastral parcels in the area of large public project construction. The goal of the research is to find the optimal way to compare conflicting and incomparable criteria for the evaluation of private cadastral parcels and, at the same time, a way of fitting the opinions of stakeholders in the implementation planning process of urban consolidation. Due to the complexity of the task and realizing certain spatial criteria, unique models were developed. Special attention was paid to the participatory approach to problem-solving, in which all groups of stakeholders were identified, and the way of expressing their views was defined. The Complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) method and the Analytic Hierarchy Process method (AHP) methods were used to solve the problem. The defined models were tested in the field of construction of a large public project Campus at the University of Split.
Planning of sustainable urban renewal is one of the key issues for city development. Particular emphasis is placed on the problem of the sustainable urban renewal of areas that are made up of a large ...number of private cadastral parcels that cause ownership fragmentation. Urban renewal is most often carried out to realize a large project where it is necessary to determine the optimal way of its realization. This paper proposes a methodology for assessing the index of fragmentation for the purpose of sustainable urban renewal planning. The methods used to solve the task are Simple Additive Weighting method (SAW) for ranking alternative solutions (i.e., cadastral parcels, spatial elements and areas of future construction), and the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process method (FAHP) for defining the criteria weights. In the process of defining the index of fragmentation model as well as the weighting determination, a group of experts was involved. The proposed model was tested on the field of the construction of the University of Split campus, for which implementation was planned in several periods. The obtained results show that the proposed methodology can provide support in analyzing the spatial–functional capacities of the existing land, and for decision making in optimizing the realization of urban projects.

Nedostatak pitke vode veliki je globalni problem s kojim se već danas suočava petina Europe. Osiguranje pitke vode jedan je od milenijskih razvojnih ciljeva Ujedinjenih naroda. Dobivanje vode ...desalinizacijom skup je postupak za koji je potrebna velika količina energije. S druge strane, ispod oceanskog dna nalaze se velike rezerve pitke vode za eksploataciju koje se već izrađuju planovi. U ovom se članku daje pregled znanstvenih istraživanja vezanih uz nastanak i lociranje podmorskih izvora pitke vode, s posebnim naglaskom na predikciju lokacija s pomoću modernih matematičko-statističkih metoda. Ta su istraživanja interdisciplinarnoga karaktera te povezuju geologiju, oceanografiju, hidrografiju, daljinska istraživanja i geostatistiku u omogućavanju održivog razvoja Zemlje.
