ABSTRACT
Many land-use planning decisions ultimately are tied to land ownership and parcels. Therefore, the analyses of past land use dynamics cannot be considered only as historic research, but in fact, the development of land and property is an interesting starting point for decisions in recent land management. To serve the demand, for example, of land planners to base their work on research and historic data, a study was conducted to show that past developments in land administration can illustrate future trends. For the study, a border region between Austria and Hungary was chosen, where changing agrarian policy conditions and their effects over the intervening years can be comprehended and compared.
