Abstract:

This study develops and evaluates sustainable real estate valuation by integrating policy frameworks, spatial productivity, and investment efficiency to provide a holistic understanding of property markets. Employing a multidimensional approach, the research examines how regulatory policies, market dynamics, and productivity metrics collectively influence property values and investment decisions. In this study, the multidimensional approach is conceptualized as an integrated framework combining policy inputs, spatial productivity indicators, and investment efficiency metrics to explain sustainable real estate valuation adjustments. 

The findings highlight the critical role of sustainable valuation practices in enhancing market transparency, optimizing resource allocation, and promoting long-term economic stability. By bridging theoretical insights with practical applications, this work offers valuable guidance for policymakers, investors, and urban planners aiming to foster resilient and efficient real estate markets.
