  • A transaction-cost analysis of Swiss Land Improvement syndicates
    Town Planning Review, 2019
    Co-Authors: Sina Shahab, François-xavier Viallon
    Abstract:

    Land Improvement syndicates (LIS) are a Land-policy instrument that has been implemented in SwitzerLand to incorporate Land readjustments, zoning changes and infrastructure provisions within a single instrument. These instruments address contentious situations, such as disagreements among Landowners, inappropriate property subdivisions, problematic allocations of development rights, and the distribution of infrastructure provision costs. LIS redistribute added Land values and costs of Land development between Landowners in a more equitable manner. While LIS have been in place for several decades, there have been limited studies on institutional aspects of these policy instruments, and particularly their associated transaction costs. In line with the transaction-cost economics theory, this paper considers the activities involved in the formation and execution of LIS as a series of transactions and discusses when and why transaction costs arise throughout the life cycle of the policy instrument. To this end, this paper uses an LIS case study in the commune of Cheseaux, Canton Vaud. The results of this paper show the variance of transaction costs across time, actor and activity. Activities such as preparation of the feasibility study and infrastructure provision are among those that appear to generate particularly considerable transaction costs. In addition to this, there is evidence of lengthy negotiations surrounding the existing and future Land values and redistribution of development rights.

  • the irrigation water users associations in north braila terrace area
    Lucrări Ştiinţifice Universitatea de Ştiinţe Agricole Şi Medicină Veterinară a Banatului Timisoara Seria I Management Agricol, 2013
    Co-Authors: E Sima
    Abstract:

    In Romania, the Irrigation Water Users’ Associations (IWUA) concept was set up in order to diminish competition in relation to the access to and utilization of irrigation water, as well as to facilitate the transfer to end users (farmers) of the administration and utilization mode of the existing intermediary and final Land Improvement infrastructure, the public utility facilities (water accumulations, main canals, pumping stations) being managed by the National Land Improvement Agency (NLIA). The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the institutional and legal framework under which the IWUAs from Brăila county carry out their activity; in this area, the largest part of the irrigation system built up in the communist period is still working, unlike the situation in other counties from Romania, where both the water pumping stations and the water delivery canals have been almost completely destroyed.

  • Study on the Legislative and Institutional Evolution in the Land Improvement Sector in Romania
    Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Horticulture, 2011
    Co-Authors: Mircia Giurgiu, Emilian Merce, Emil Luca
    Abstract:

    The situation of the Land Improvement Sector by 31.12.1989. In the Ministry of Agriculture a Department for Land Improvement and Agricultural Constructions was in function (DLIAC). Four offices were part of DLIAC: the Office for the Exploitation of Land Improvement Works (OEILW), the Office for Constructions and Montage (OCM), the Technical and Investment Office (TIO) and the Financial Planning, Supply and Development Office ( FPSDO). On county level there was a regional Office for the Execution and Exploitation of the Land Improvement Works (OEELIW). In the same department there was ongoing Research and Planning of the Land Improvement Works (RPLIW). Under the coordination of DLIAC and of the Academy of Agricultural and Sylvic Science Academy ”Gheorghe Ionescu-Sisesti” functioned the Institute for Reasearch and Technological Engineering for Irrigation and Drainage (IRTEID) Băneasa-Giurgiu, the research stations ASAS and 40 support points spread out in the great systemsof irrigation and dewatering.

  • The Administration of the Land Improvement Works in the West and North- West Areas of Romania
    Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Horticulture, 2011
    Co-Authors: Mircia Giurgiu, Emilian Merce, Emil Luca
    Abstract:

    The paper presents the results of the research on the comparative situation (state and way of usage|) of the Land Improvement systems in the west and north- west of Romania, before and after 1989. Also, on the basis of the analysis performed, an attempt is made to decipher the mechanisms through which the management and logistics in this field can be improved, so that as large a part as possible of the Land Improvement systems in this part of Romania is recovered.
