The issue of farmland acquisition regulation in UE countries was also mentioned. The area of agriculture land acquired in the analyzed time is 5 0833, 98 hectare. The phenomenon most intensively affects legal persons (with permission of Minister of Interior) who purchase 68.7 % of it. Having considered the analyzed issue from the perspective of the country of origin, Germany and Austria dominate in natural persons (49.04 %) and in the case of legal entities leaders are: Germany and the Netherlands (58.27 %).Significant for interest of polish agricultural land by foreigners was Poland’s accession to the European Community, when in the real estate market a recovery from the foreigners side happened.

Land suitable for agricultural production is limited and should be used in a sustainable manner and protected. Countries of the former communist bloc, where the majority of the agricultural land was dynamically privatized, are in a special situation. Land has been used there also to serve the needs of growing cities, for investment speculation and as entitlement to subsidies. Therefore, legal regulations protecting agricultural land were introduced. In the case of Poland, particular attention should be paid to the radical act of 2016, which completely stopped the sale of Treasury resources and strongly limited sales on the private market. However, the new act caused a number of side effects and various pathologies. This article examines the real effects of policy aimed at combating the misuse of agricultural land. It was assumed that most of the side effects will be observed around big cities, defined as Functional Urban Areas. The following methods were used: a survey in Polish FUAs, analysis of transactions on the real estate market in 2015–2018 and in-depth interviews with representatives of local governments and relevant institutions. The study revealed a number of pathologies, such as ways of circumventing new restrictions or searching for legal loopholes.

The Given

Kalyan-Dombivli is a twin city within the Thane district and forms the "Peripheral Central Suburbs" of Mumbai. Dombivli is a town in Kalyan tehsil and falls under the jurisdiction of Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC). Highest and Best Use Analysis was conducted for the micro-market Dombivli using six step market analysis process. This study focuses on being able to understand the real estate market dynamics in the given context of the chosen micro-market. This allows one to make an informed decision about the most profitable use the site can be put to and its competitive position among the various market participants. The site chosen is hypothetical in nature. The study makes use of primary and secondary data for the various rationales presented in it. It was observed that there is a dearth of affordable properties, Grade A commercial spaces, organized retail spaces (malls) in the city despite an oversupply of residential housing. The inferences and recommendations are based on several scientific methodologies of urban economics and market study. The major conclusion drawn among them all was that, mixed use of the property (Commercial/Residential mix and Commercial/ Retail mix) would bring in the highest returns.
