Although the arrangement of urban space use functions is the outcome of the activity of many different entities, it is not a random activity, as there are general principles guiding the creation process of such a structure. The correct selection and arrangement of areas in a city for different types of use is of significant importance for the fulfillment of economic, functional and planning needs of the city. The concept of land division therefore has a decisive effect on the spatial structure of every city. The growing shortage of free urban space causes, or even forces, its optimal use. The optimization of land use functions in a city aims to verify mismatched land functions and replace them with functions best matched to the present natural and anthropogenic features. Adaptation of problem areas generating “spatial conflicts” should be based on the opinion of the city’s residents to reflect their current needs as well as on economic calculations. This paper presents a procedure for determining optimal states of land use as a tool in the urban space management process. The developed algorithm is designed to form the basis for conducting spatial monitoring, serving to analyze and verify individual land management forms in order to minimize the costs of transformation and maximize income.
