Abstract As a consequence of land use intensification often appear effects that cause remarkable challenges and issues in land management practice. Increase in real property value usually is expected from both public and private investments into improvements of infrastructure as well as following the influence of overall socio-economic development. Land value capture indicates to the way – a method or strategy, how to absorb this increase in value by using it for specific purposes. The study focuses on exploration of recent studies in various European countries regarding the experiences to provide equity resource allocation in the territory by distributing the increase in land value among local stakeholders – real property owners and public authorities. The historical and comparative analysis methods as well as logical-constructive and graphical methods have been applied in the study. Various sources of the increase in land value and the development phases of the real property have been analysed and the correlation results demonstrated in the study. The findings of the study may contribute significantly for improving the land policy, local development programmes and plans, and appropriate institutions at the municipal land management level.
