SummaryIn this study, an optimization process of the spatial layout of a village from the viewpoint of minimization of distances between parcels and farming settlements is presented. It is illustrated by the data coming from the village Mściwojów, which is situated in the south-western Poland. The proposed calculation process uses linear programming methods, and the input data are the result of the processing of the ground and building registration data bases. The results indicate a wide range of application possibilities of the optimization process of the parcel layouts, at different stages of operations connected with the restructuring of spatial distributions of rural areas. In particular, it refers to the realization of conceptions of the land consolidation results which are viable in a given area.
The article contains the results of research on arable land configuration in Mściwojów. To determine the basic qualities of land configuration the following software was employed: MKTopo GUTR, Plikpol, Pole. The basic surface elements assumed for research were plots, defined as continuous parts of cadastral plots utilized only in one way. The analysis covered spatial parameters of the plots, estimated land configuration related cultivation costs, location of the land in the village and farm and basic features of the farm. The obtained results allowed to define the degree of influence of land configuration on the costs connected with cultivation and to determine if correction of land layout is necessary.
