Diseño de un sistema de valuación masiva de suelo urbano fundamentado en la teoría de la renta de la tierra. Aplicación al caso de Cuenca, Ecuador

Abstract

The municipalities, faced with the obliga-tion to generate property appraisals, have predom-inantly used the comparison method, characterized by submitting to the distortions of the land market, excluding the explicit consideration of factors that value it. This article presents a method of valuing urban land massively, based on the generation of land rents that value the property and that in its capitalized form are expressed in its price. Through the application in the city of Cuenca, a set of pro-cedures is established for the determination of the base unit price, identifying for this the capital incor-porated into the land in infrastructures and equip-ment, and quantifying the most relevant primary and secondary rents from the expressions of the spatial structure of land uses linked to their gener-ation. The results obtained show that the theory of land rent is applicable to the massive valuation of urban land for cadastral purposes, obtaining a sig-nificant degree of understanding of the conforma-tion of land prices in the city associated with their dynamics
