ENThe article analyses implications of the geographical situation factor in works related to Lithuanian territoty valuation. It is also a review of research works focused on evaluation of agrarian, forested and recreational territories, as well as on legally adopted methods for fixing the prices of land. It has been determined that the factor of geographical situation is usually used for amendments in estimations of the quality of farming lands: the first step includes the estimation of the quality of lands, and it is followed by specification of the quality with respect to geographical situation.
