Spatial-Temporal Evolution of Urban Land Price

Spatial-temporal evolution of urban land price involves spatial-temporal distribution of urban land price which reflects the urban land profitability and is a 4D issue comprising 2D space,time and land price.This paper reviews the research progress at home and abroad,and discusses the influential factors,research methods,and main achievements in urban land price spatial-temporal evolution.The factors affecting land pricing are complicated in the context of rapid social and economic development and recognized gradually by people.GIS techniques and statistical tools are used to analyze the spatial evolution of urban land price and urban land price indices are computed.The ways or models such as Digital Land Price Model,Land Price Index,WebGIS,Graphic comparison as well as some of empirical methods are used or obtained in the research filed of spatial-temporal evolution of urban land price.Comments on technique approaches and achievements of ULPSTE research at home and abroad are given.Analysis of ULPSTE has been limited in the static comparison among urban land price levels of different periods.Researches on spatial evolution of urban land price have not yet been incorporated with the research on temporal evolution of urban land price.It is proposed that with the aid of proper space-time statistic analysis tools or methods and GIS technology,the future research should focus on the integration of spatial and non-spatial factors affecting the land price,the simulation of the spatial-temporal evolution process of urban land price,and monitoring and supervision of land price changes.
