The objective of our study was to analyze the buying/selling prices of agricultural land in Slovakia in accordance with the deposited contracts in the Real Estate Cadastre during the years 2001-2008. Agricultural land sales, land areas and market prices are observed and evaluated under the size structure of the sold sites and their anticipated further utilization in the counties Dunajska Streda, Topolcany, Rimavska Sobota, Liptovsky Mikulas, Michalovce and Svidnik and for all observed counties as a whole.

In order to ensure operation of the Cadastre, the Cadastre information system is being maintained and improved. Cadastre text and spatial data regarding cadastre objects, which are located in the territory of Latvia, are registered and maintained in the Cadastre information system. In order to specify the value of particular cadastre object, four models of cadastral assessment are developed. These models provide cadastral assessment of all cadastre objects registered in the Cadastre information system.

Cadastral map in modern market economy in different fields is marketable product. Summarized on it digital geospatial data, obtained in cadastral survey, can be widely used by many users. These data are captured using different methods of cadastral surveying therefore they have different accuracy. Land parcel boundaries are updated in compliance with data of higher accuracy. Wherewith, assessment and improvement of quality of cadastral map is very actually.
