Abstract
In this paper a two-dimensional structure resulting from the division of area into land parcels is investigated. Determination of the relationship between the parcel area and circumference allowed to characterize the characteristic parcel’s shape. Our study is based on data originating from Kraków, Zakopane, Starogard Gdański, Bytom oraz Malmö in Sweden. The relationship between the parcel circumference, L, and area, S, for the analyzed cities is the following L = A S , gdzie A = 6,28 ± 0,27. For five urban areas analyzed, the typical land parcel is a rectangle of the aspect ratio equal approximately 1:8.
