This article discusses the need to transform real estate valuation methods. It is associated with the problems of obtaining unreliable results affecting the subsequent adoption of management decisions. As an important element of land plots assessment, the authors define the Negative Infrastructural Externalities arising from the presence of infrastructure and other regime-forming facilities. These externalities represent the loss of title holders due to the encumbrances arising from the use of land plots. The world community (and the authors as part of it) sees one of the transformation methods in the automation of the evaluation process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a mechanism of automating the Negative Infrastructural Externalities assessment process in the conditions of a non-existent and weak market activity of land relations. Modern trends dictate the saving of hardware, labor and money resources; in this connection, the methods of Negative Infrastructural Externalities assessment are implemented on the basis of the “thin client” technology. The research is based on the following methods: the analytical method is used to perform a critical analysis of the problem area and to substantiate the research topic’s relevance; methods of object-oriented programming and methods of modular programming (Cowan’s axiom of modularity) are used as tools for developing the web application logic, as well as the interaction of its individual elements; the attribute-driven design approach is used in the creation of software architectures. The result of the study is the developed and substantiated architecture of a web application for assessing negative infrastructural external factors in determining the land value, the implemented modular structure of the specified web application and the developed conceptual model of the database. The practical implementation of the listed proposals is made by means of the Python programming language. The advantage of the created automated system is the possibility of multi-disciplinary use of the expert assessment approach when changing the settings.

This article addresses the global issue of preserving cultural heritage, which is associated, among other things, with the lack of provision for boundaries of protection zones for cultural heritage sites. This paper analyzes the worldwide experience in the field of establishing protection zones for cultural heritage sites, identifies the issues of preserving cultural heritage in Russia, as well as imperfections in the management of lands containing cultural heritage sites. To improve the management of such lands, a method of historical and cultural assessment of territories has been developed, which, on the basis of evaluative factors, makes it possible to characterize the historical and cultural value of a territory. In this article, based on this list of factors, a method for mathematical substantiation of the boundaries of protection zones of cultural heritage sites has been developed; this method includes seven stages. Using mathematical and statistical methods, models were obtained to determine the area of the protection (buffer) zone and the development control zone, the analysis of which revealed differentiation between the factors of historical and cultural assessment that characterize the urban environment, depending on the type of zones. The interpretation of the obtained models and the fields of their use are given.

The preservation of cultural heritage plays a key role in the development of society. To preserve cultural heritage, protection zones are established, which represent an encumbrance on land plots and, therefore, should be taken into account in the valuation process. Currently, there is a problem that mass (cadastral) and individual valuation methods do not necessarily include cultural heritage objects and their zones in cost coefficients. The absence of a mechanism to address their individual characteristics in the real estate valuation system has a significant impact on the value of real estate and leads to unjustifiably inflated market value and, as a consequence, to disputing the results of cadastral valuation. This article is devoted to determining the impact of protection zones of cultural heritage objects on the value of land intended for individual housing construction, using the example of the city of Orenburg. This article considers various methods of identifying patterns of the influence of zones with special conditions of use of the territory on the market value of land and substantiates the use of the method of comparative sales in the conditions of a low-active land market in Orenburg, a statistical analysis of market information, on the basis of which the type of activity of the real estate market in Orenburg was determined. The patterns of the calculation of corrections for the remoteness of the studied land plots from the objects of the transport and social infrastructure of Orenburg were revealed in this work as well. Through the method of paired sales within the framework of an individual assessment of the land plot intended for individual housing construction, the diminishing impact of the zones of protection of cultural heritage objects on the market value of land plots was revealed. This allows for conclusions to be drawn as to whether objects of cultural heritage have an impact on the value of real estate, and as a result, there is a need to modify the applied methods of mass and individual real estate valuation within the boundaries of historical settlements.

This article deals with the topical issue of taking cultural heritage sites into account in the process of evaluating real estate. At the preparatory stage, market data on 157 objects were collected and analyzed, a sample of information was made on 75 commercial premises and 109 windows of federal significance in Pskov, RF. Based on the analysis of scientific papers and reports on the state cadastral assessment, the authors offer a list of price-forming factors. Due to economic and mathematical methods, a model for determining the specific index of the market value (UPR) of commercial objects was developed depending on various price-forming factors, which were tested before including in the model by calculating the coefficients of partial correlation for multicollinearity. As a result of the analysis, which consisted in constructing a model of the management of commercial buildings relative to the influence of nearby windows in the city of Pskov, the externality of the remote location factor of the estimated commercial buildings was revealed. The quality control of the constructed UPR model of commercial facilities, carried out using statistical characteristics, shows that it meets statistical criteria. The result of the study is an additive multiple regression model describing the dependence of commercial objects cost on the following price-forming factors

This article is devoted to the issue of establishing the boundaries of the territories of cultural heritage objects. In the course of the study, with the help of statistical analysis, the problems of loss and resolution of cultural heritage objects were identified, one of the reasons for which is the problem of establishing the boundaries of the territories of cultural heritage objects. The relevance of the research topic lies in the fact that many cultural heritage sites do not have legally fixed boundaries of their territories, and already established boundaries are defined incorrectly. With the help of a spatial analysis of the established boundaries of the territories of cultural heritage objects in Vyborg, approved by regulatory legal acts, carried out using GIS technologies and CAD, errors that arose when establishing the boundaries of the territories of the cultural heritage objects under consideration were identified and classified. These errors affect the legal regime of adjacent land plots, which affects the interests of their rightholders, and also contribute to problems when making urban planning decisions in the process of managing land resources of historical settlements. The results obtained allow us to draw conclusions about the need to improve the approach to the design of territories of cultural heritage objects.
