The General Valuation has a very significant role to play in Cyprus’ economic environment because it forms the basis by which all property taxes are levied. It is considered as a very important land management tool, as ...

As stated on Dimopoulos et al (2014) property tax in Greece is levied since 1985 not on Market Values but on the “objective value” of the properties as it is defined by the Ministry of Economics. It forms a non-flexible ...

This paper aims to examine how CAMA, GIS and Remote Sensing are integrated to assist property taxation. Real property tax apart from its fiscal dimension is directly linked to geographic location. The value of the land ...

The article aims at exploring the literature on town centre delimitation methods over the last sixty years. Specifically, the first section explores the content of the term town centre, while the second one proposes an ...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways that the top-down and the bottom-up approaches to planning can be combined in the practice of planning standards. In the first part, the paper examines the utilization of ...

This study presents the modeling of the system of educational facilities included in a large city or a municipality, to facilitate a decision regarding the optimum location of a new educational facility. As will be shown, ...

This paper exploresthe use of point pattern statistics in urban analysis. The study adopts a systems view of urban space and identifies three discernible tiers for the analysis of the latter. For each of these tiers, it ...

Η Ιστορία του δικτύου των αστικών οικισμών της Ελλάδας, ίσως δεν διαθέτει μεγάλο βάθος χρόνου, όπως αυτό άλλων χωρών της Ευρώπης, διαθέτει όμως και μπορεί να επιδείξει στη σύντομη, σχετικά, ιστορική του εξέλιξη ιδιομορφίες, ...

Η εργασία αυτή μελετά το Ειδικό Πλαίσιο Χωροταξικού Σχεδιασμού και Αειφόρου Ανάπτυξης για τον Τουρισμό εμβαθύνοντας στην σκιαγράφηση του ρόλου που διαδραματίζουν οι παραδοσιακοί οικισμοί στον χωροταξικό σχεδιασμό. Μεθοδολογικά, ...

Since its birth, property taxation has been a major source of revenue. Taxation in general, is an important conduit to generate revenue and also a tool to redistribute wealth. It can act as a tool to manage land use, urban ...

The frequency response of nonproportionally (or nonclassically or non-Raleigh) damped linear lumped mass systems is discussed here. The exact method, via Laplace transforms, is presented and the practical difficulties ...

This paper forms a literature survey on lumped and distributed parameter, linear, viscously damped, dynamic systems, possessing non-classical modes.

Although the response of undamped or at least proportionally damped linear systems can be determined easily by modal analysis, the prediction of the response of nonproportionally damped linear systems requires either more ...

Due to earthquakes, many structures suffered extensive damages that were attributed to the torsional effect caused by mass, stiffness or strength eccentricity. Due to this type of asymmetry torsional moments are generated ...

In this article, a number of design approaches for 3D reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are formulated in the framework of structural optimization problems and are assessed in terms of their performance under earthquake ...

The objective of this paper is to obtain the optimum design of 3D reinforced concrete buildings in terms of their performance under earthquake loading. This goal is achieved by considering the minimization of the ...
