The article presents the possibility of using GIS (Geographic Information Sys- tem) in the scope of the elaboration of calls for participants in land consolida- tion (LC). It shows the tools and the way they are used, as well as the possibility of automating this process.In the process of land consolidation and exchange, when the LC project is developed, calls for LC participants are prepared. Usually these documents are done manually by referring to the nearest plots of state before LC. The infor- mation given in the notification is, among others, the distance and direction in which the new plot is located away from the nearest plot of the old state.Using the GIS system, a tool has been developed that automatically shows information about the designation, direction and distance of parcel nearest to the input parcels and indicates selected nearest parcels on the map. The results were checked, and the tools used were assessed for their suitability for this type of task.In conclusion, specifying the distance and direction alone, especially at large distances, may be not accurate enough. However, the ability to automatically indicate the nearest plots before LC in relation to the newly designed plot is extremely valuable and significantly accelerates LC work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
