    This paper presents a methodology for estimating the market value of properties when data are limited. Thus, it has important implications for many developing countries that would benefit from increased property tax revenues. Lack of data on sale prices and an appropriate valuation method are two reasons that property tax revenues are so low in many countries. The methodology in this paper is intended to overcome these short­comings. This paper describes a comprehensive framework for applying a simple, admin­istratively compliant, and cost-effective solution to location-wise property valuation. For that, a spatially based, weighted parametric model for the individual property level is developed using the physical, spatial, environmental, and market factors that are most influential in value determination.

    Following the marginality approach developed at ZEF, we identified five underperforming sub-districts in Bangladesh, where poverty and other socio-economic dimensions of marginality are widespread, but agricultural potential is also high. Results from extensive quantitative and qualitative surveys suggest that development strategies in these areas should focus on three pathways: agricultural intensification, income diversification and agricultural diversification based on options available for the smallholders in the localities. Cereal-based technology under agricultural innovations could be part of the solution, but should be integrated into other income diversification and agricultural diversification strategies. Intensive crop systems, hybrid seeds, water management technologies, non-crop farming, non-farming enterprises are suggested as potential technology innovations for the study areas.
