Geostatistical Analysis of the Adjustment Factor for Accessibility to Population Centers in Urban Valuations

Abstract

Theoretical analysis of territorial economies has relied on the idea of territory as a space of exchange, in which the distribution of rural land prices is based largely on the income of accessibility. This paper draws from this context, and is based on the study of the correction factor for accessibility (u1) to regulated population centers as defined in the Valuations Regulation of the Spanish Land Law. For this, we have used Geographic Information Systems (GIS), developing two methods of spatial interpolation, Kriging and Spline, which allows the attainment of a continuous surface with the obtained values. The results of the study have allowed an analysis of the spatial distribution of added value position confirming the links between regional imbalances and the level of economic development achieved in each area of the territory.
