a Estimated rental value of Government provided lands and premises.

Also, Administrative Order No. 11 was promulgated to improve the land valuation guidelines and to provide for more reasonable caps for the value of the land.

Item 10 of the provisional agenda

LADA Dryland Degradation Assessment Project

The LADA project will produce a GLADA.

Development of the global land degradation assessment (GLADA)

The request for an assessment of the extent of land degradation in drylands came from the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), out of which the Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA) project was conceived.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) used remote sensing data in constructing area frame samples (using data from small sample areas as an aid to estimating crops and acreages), crop specific land cover mapping, direct estimation of planted crop area, and assessment of crop conditions.

I have an acquaintance who works in a jewelry store and he's coming to make an appraisal of that stuff. Here's your plantation fella, right here.

2.2 The authors state that their lands were expropriated by the Government at a price considerably below the current price in comparison with voluntary purchases and other expropriations in the region.

Take away land speculation, price of land drops.

FAO, through its Technical Cooperation Programme, will be assisting the Government of Slovenia in 1998 and 1999 in designing an integrated action plan for reforming the cadastral and land valuation systems.

In rural areas, land is the most highly valued asset. Land speculation, however, continues to be restricted.

For land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) estimates, consideration should be given to the spatial disaggregation of estimates, where relevant and applicable.

Land that would one day be worth millions.

Because the owner said, There's one billion dollars of beryllium in that mountain.

It is estimated that more than 74 per cent of the land in the West Bank and some 40 per cent of land in the Gaza Strip have been confiscated by Israel since 1967.

Nearly 11 per cent of Croatian territory is strewn with an estimated 1 million mines.

As a result of the global land degradation assessment it will be possible to identify

This interest will be compounded annually based on the unpaid value of the land.

Now that little piece of land is worth, oh, 5 600 dollars at most.

Now, that little piece is worth hmm, at the most...

There are two kinds of errors people make when trying to decide what the right thing is to do, and those are errors in estimating the odds that they're going to succeed, and errors in estimating the value of their own success.

It invites the State party to conduct studies with a view to effectively assessing and evaluating occurrences of racial discrimination.

(b) The development of impact indicators should include an initial assessment of the status of land degradation and its associated cost to the country apos s economy and social structures.

Contribution Estimated annual value

You reckon a court could fix a value on that?

However, irrigated land in desert areas does come under the umbrella of LADA.

That land is more valuable than just surface parking lots.

The return process is moving slowly, due, inter alia, to difficulties in negotiations over properties, the presence of intermediaries who distort the price, over valuation by the owners, the Government s determination to negotiate lower prices and the lack of alternatives for acquiring other land.

At the regional and subregional levels, FAO has initiated and prepared the Land Degradation Assessment in the Drylands (LADA), used to develop tools and methods to assess and quantify the nature, extent and severity of land degradation.

Where necessary, amounts are estimated locally based on a fair commercial value in an arms length transaction.

Recalling the provisions of decision 19 COP.6 on Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA),

(f) Assessment of environmental sensitivity and proper land use of coastal urban areas.

Urban expansion has to a large extent taken place at the expense of the invasion of land of ejido or common origin and, to a lesser extent, of private lands or the land assets of the three powers of government, which are often inappropriate for urban use owing to their physiographic characteristics.

All three provided a national inventory of available information on land degradation and its assessment.

The Value of Being Undervalued

Market evaluations and assessments

a Represents estimated rental value of field headquarters premises and air terminal in Kinshasa.

Furthermore, publicity concerning the planned infrastructure may raise the price of the land, so that the final sum paid by the project company may exceed its original cost estimate.

The secretariat continued to follow closely the activities of the Land Degradation Assessment in the Drylands (LADA) and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA), including participation in meetings of the Technical Advisory Group of LADA, and the Executive Committee and Board of the MA.
