Analysis and Assessment of Locations in Germany
Spatial Distribution and the Influence of Land Value-relevant Aspects from Policy, Economy and Society
Disciplines such as land management, spatial planning and human geography are dedicated to the collection, description and explanation of spatial structures and processes as well as their functions in the context of multiple human-environment relationships. The qualitative and quantitative assessment of spatial locations, e. g. in macro/micro locations, peripheral/central locations or commercial/residential locations, is of great importance – often combined with the need for location estimation/quality up to their value. Depending on discipline, the definitions, standards and application areas differ. These different perspectives are used synergistically for the further development of the operationalisation of location quality.

Terms Related to Spatial Location
The current spatial science literature shows that structural equation models (SEMs) are able to explain the complex correlations of spatial indicators and enable an operationalisation of the location. The aim is to collect the most important spatial indicators, including distance and accessibility information. The weights of spatial indicators are determined as the influence on the location on the basis of a mathematical-statistical explanatory model. Thus, a further development of the operationalisation of the location quality is expected, which is classically determined in land management by the standard land value as location indicator.
On the basis of the investigation of development conditions and location assessments at different points in time, statements can be made about location changes as a result of measures. Thus an estimation of their effectiveness for future realisations of measures is to be expected. By generating scenarios, it is possible to generate recommendations for planning actions that add value to land management, spatial planning and human geography.
