Inefficiencies in the process of acquiring and managing real property have a significant impact on transportation agencies' ability to develop and deliver projects effectively. Acquisition of real property is frequently on the critical path of those projects. Delays in acquiring real property are one of the main reasons for project delays and cost overruns. Federal and state agencies are interested in developing strategies for streamlining practices for acquisition of real property. In 2010, NCHRP sponsored a research study to develop improved, integrated real property procedures and business practices within the process of transportation project development and delivery, as well as to develop recommendations for best practices in property management. This paper presents some of the results of that effort and focuses on the improvement and optimization of the current state of practice in acquiring real property by negotiation and condemnation. The analysis resulted in the following research products: (a) an integrated model of the process of transportation project development and delivery, (b) a model for real property acquisition and relocation assistance in accordance with 42 USC 4601 et seq. (not constrained by regulatory encumbrances), and (c) a discussion of issues and challenges affecting project development and delivery that typically involve real property components as well as strategies for addressing those issues and challenges. The discussion includes an analysis of 20 negotiation and condemnation issues and challenges that practitioners identified via a national survey and follow-up interviews as well as 20 corresponding strategies for improvement or optimization.

Purpose – The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides guidelines for the management of open space created through property acquisition (buyouts); however, land use decisions are primarily left to local governments manifesting in a variety of uses. The purpose of this paper is to provide a land use assessment of buyout sites, to describe the changes in those uses that have occurred during a ten-year period from 1990 to 2000, and to offer an assessment of management approaches employed across these sites. Design/methodology/approach – Using a mixed-methods approach consisting of a land use classification survey and a semi-structured questionnaire of floodplain managers, this study explores the land use trends at buyout sites, diverse approaches local governments take in managing the open spaces created through floodplain buyout programs, and the successes and challenges communities face in open space management. Findings – Results indicate strong support from floodplain managers for property acquisition and several cases emerged where communities put their newly acquired public land to creative uses. However, the opportunity to leverage these properties for greater public values is largely being missed, primarily because of limited funding. Practical implications – The analysis indicates strong support among floodplain managers for the buyout approach; however, additional resource-sharing and funding opportunities are needed to increase the utility of buyout properties. Originality/value – By evaluating the long-term management strategies floodplain managers utilize on buyout sites, this study adds to an underrepresented area of scholarship and is of value to practitioners, government officials, and academics.

The structure of a typical property accounting system and its main elements are listed and described in the paper.The basic objectives of modern property accounting systems are given. System structure and description consisting of a property items database, a property accounting regulatory documents knowledge base, a data input and updating module, an information retrieval module, a module of report preparation and making are provided. The description of each of the system components is given. The restriction of opportunities to plan activities of property maintenance, and the lack of possibilities to forecast the occurrence of critical events during the operation are decribed as some disadvantages of the accounting system. To solve the problem of property accounting and its scheduled maintenance or discarding it is proposed to supplement the system of property accounting with a module of activities planning support and a forecasting module, i.e. with a passive system of decision support for property accounting and, consequently, the provision of intelligent data and knowledge processing. It is shown that this modification of the accounting system, in addition to general problems solution, provides support for planning activities related to property items, analysis of the existing data and events forecasting. A distinctive feature of the proposed system structure of decision support for property accounting is in the fact that it provides support for planning and forecasting of events and minimizes labor costs by eliminating re-entering of dara, optimization of future costs for property acquisition, optimization of property discarding and acquisition events, minimization of a possible negative effect in case of unfavorable events.
