Classification of building structures located in industrial plants with regard to calculating property tax
(2014) Firek, Karol; Oruba, Rajmund; Wodyński, Aleksander
Classification of assets of industrial plants meets with difficulties arising from the imprecise and inconsistent legislation. As a consequence of differences in interpretation, significant discrepancies in the calculation of the tax due arise, resulting in numerous lawsuits and additional high costs. Classification of assets of industrial plants for tax purposes engineering of a plant. This article discusses selected criteria of classifying assets of industrial plants for the purpose of calculating properyt tax, on the basis of the Construction Law, with consideration to the Act on Local Taxes and Fees. This article also provides examples of classifying building structures located in industrial plants based on the adopted criteria.
Statistical methods applied in evaluating the reliability of land surveying equipment
(2014) Krupiński, Waldemar
In order to verify whether measurements made by an electronic total station and a Leica level are systematically correct, a series of measurements by these instruments was performed on the test grid at UR Krakow, Balicka. Leica TS 02 total station was used in measurements of horizontal angles while distances were tested using the following statistical tests of identity: - horizontal angles - Smirnov-Kolmogorov test, - distance - confidence intervals testing. Elevation measurements performed by self-leveling Leica Sprinter 150M were tested by a T-test. The theoretical basis for the tests of identity and their practical application are discussed. The research concludes that the test instruments do not always meet the criteria, and in such a case, prior to measurements, they should be subjected to rectification.
Qualitative similarity coefficients in real estate market analysis
(2014) Kulczycki, Marek; Ligas, Marcin
The authors state that in principle every two properties belonging to the same real estate market are similar. This cannot be even changed by the fact that one of them is the least attractive on the market while the other is of highest attractiveness - we still consider them as „similar properties”. If someone does not accept this approach there as a way out from this situation by the redefinition of the market causing its narrowing. This paper considers the question of assessing (measuring) the similarity under the condition that properties are characterized by qualitative attributes - either binary or nominal. Such a case does not seem senseless for the real estate market, and there are some who indicate the necessity of considering the characteristics of the property just as qualitative attributes because of the subjectivity accompanying describing the property that causes that characteristics are only seemingly of ordinal nature.
Preparation of observation base for classical surveys for verification purposes of applying modern techniques for measuring displacement of retaining walls
(2014) Kuras, Przemysław; Kuras, Olga
Landslides and landslips are a phenomena with very dangerous consequences for the safety of people and their property. Prevention is an important geotechnical issue. One method of protecting embankments and slopes is the construction of retaining walls. In order to ensure the safety of large retaining structures, they should be monitored during and after the completion of the construction works. Due to their size and location, often near busy roads, retaining walls are structures the measurement of which using classical methods is difficult and time-consuming. It is reasonable, therefore, to verify the usefulness of modern surveying techniques for checks of such structures. This article presents the preparation of an observation base for classical surveys, the results of which will be compared with the results obtained from terrestrial laser scanning and ground-based radar interferometry at a later stage.
Thematic map as a basis for the world´s geoinformation system in chronological approach
(2014) Mika, Monika
Geoinformation can be defined according to [9] as a discipline dealing with the collecting, obtaining, gathering, processing, transmission, analysis and interpretation of data about the Earth. These data are collected for centuries on maps. Regardless of forms of cartographic elaborations changing with the development of technics, the basic function of each map (and especially of thematic maps) was, is and will be the transfer of data about the world in the graphic form. The first maps were prototypes of modern geoinformation systems. In the literature one can find many definitions of these systems. According to [6] it is a computer information system for entering, storing, processing and the presentation of spatial data, which primary function is to support the decision. The purpose of this publication is the cross-sectional analysis of the methods and forms of presentation of maps (with particular emphasis on thematic maps) in Poland and in the world over the centuries. From woodcuts or clay tablets to today created and widely used interactive map. The basic thesis of the publication is to see the map as a basis for geoinformation system at every stage of development.
