Summary/Abstract: The natural environment is one of the factors of development activities location. The quality and availability of natural values influences bid prices of flats. The availability of ecosystems of special qualities such as rarity and uniqueness is not a desirable feature for potential buyers. This is due to conservation restrictions, and thus the limited possibilities to use the land for recreational purposes.
