Land value is a measure of the specific features of a property, excluding buildings and other developments. Land value varies depending on the economic, geographic and political aspects of a particular location. The primary purpose of the paper is to identify the general and location-specific attributes impacting property prices in urban Kerala.,The objective of the current study was achieved through a three-cycle Delphi survey and relative importance index (RII) approach. The experts who aided in the survey had a mutual interest in the subject but came from different backgrounds like property valuation, real estate, urban and environmental planning. The initial group of variables identified from the literature was expanded and scrutinized in the first cycle of the Delphi survey. The variables were grouped into five major categories and 13 subcategories based on the literature and expert opinion. In the subsequent stages, the short-listed variables were rated on a seven-point Likert scale until a consensus was attained. The top-ranked variables were identified through the RII method as the critical factors influencing land value in urban Kerala.,The results indicate that road accessibility and proximity to nuisance sources are the most crucial parameters. The outcome of the study will provide a better understanding of the dynamics of land value and the influencing factors in urban areas.,Previous studies do not give much consideration for the location-specific variability on the influencing parameters. Property management research has not considered the usage of expert opinion and RII for variable selection.

确定影响城市土地价值的关键因素的方法：以印度喀拉拉邦为例

土地价值是衡量房地产特定特征的指标，不包括建筑物和其他发展项目。土地价值取决于特定地点的经济，地理和政治方面。本文的主要目的是确定影响喀拉拉邦房地产价格的一般属性和特定位置属性。本研究的目标是通过三周期的德尔菲调查和相对重要性指数（RII）方法实现的。参与调查的专家对此主题有着共同的兴趣，但是他们来自不同的背景，例如房地产评估，房地产，城市和环境规划。从文献中识别出的最初的变量组在Delphi调查的第一个周期中得到扩展和审查。根据文献和专家意见，将变量分为五个主要类别和13个子类别。在随后的阶段中，以7点李克特量表对入围变量进行评分，直到达成共识。通过RII方法将排在前列的变量确定为影响喀拉拉邦城市土地价值的关键因素。结果表明，道路通达性和对有害源的接近性是最关键的参数。研究的结果将提供对土地价值动态和城市地区影响因素的更好理解。以前的研究没有对影响参数的位置特定变异性给予太多考虑。物业管理研究尚未考虑使用专家意见和RII进行变量选择。
