Development of "Land Rent Model" Using Multicriterional Analysis and Geographical Information Systems

The application of multicriterional analysis and geographical information systems in the development of land rent model, is presented in this paper. The objective of the model is to provide the basis for the evaluation of urban areas. The aim of the research is to find out the most su itable model for definition of the city rent in coastal urban areas. The presented research is based on information technology, including graphical and numerical processing of appropriately handled and structured information. The rent model includes all the relevant factors considering values of the urban environment, especially historical and cultural heritage. Such evaluation, together with information technologies, represent very useful and practical tool for environmentally sound management of urban areas, and a support to decision makers.
