Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to present the application of modified weight matrix defining the spatial interactions for the price of agricultural land in the provinces. The study also considered other variables of an economic nature, which were used to determine the distance matrix. The data analysis used a hierarchical cluster analysis method and the global correlation Moran’s coefficient. Compared the three types of matrix weight. In the case of binary weights matrix and rows normalized, failed to determine spatial autocorrelation. However there is a negative correlation was found in the case of spatial use a modified weight matrix Wm.
