“…The most recent efforts to develop criteria-based methodologies of ranking areas for land consolidation have been reported recently by Janus and Markuszewska (2017), Johansen et al (2018), Mika et al (2019), Muchová and Petrovič (2019), Wójcik-Leń et al (2020). Such variety of criteria applied (natural and anthropogenic, land management and land administration, socio-economic, demographic, environmental characteristics etc.)…”

“…Finland, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Croatia and North Macedonia) use country wide maps to identify potential regions for land consolidation (Figure 1). Recent research highlights the need for identification of most suitable and priority areas for land consolidation at various governing levels (Du et al, 2018;Janus and Markuszewska, 2017;Johansen et al, 2018;Mika et al, 2019;Munnangi et al, 2020;Wójcik-Leń et al, 2020). However, the scale and the criteria vary from country to country and are influenced by the national as well as regional policies and strategies.…”

Decision support framework to rank and prioritise the potential land areas for comprehensive land consolidation

In Europe and often worldwide, national and local government authorities utilise different means to stimulate economic development and environmental protection of the land through the application of land consolidation. The direction of these efforts should take into consideration the fact that some administrative regions may have a higher potential for land consolidation than others. This is supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that advises on the identification of favourable regions for implementation of pilot land consolidation projects. In many European countries, especially those receiving European Union (EU) support for implementation land consolidation projects, the scrupulous allocation of funds to the best suitable regions is very important. The research in this paper identifies a key set of criteria and offers multiple-criteria analysis-based approach to rank and prioritise administrative regions for implementation of land consolidation. This methodology is applied in the case study identifying Klaipeda district as a municipality with the highest potential for land consolidations in the Western part of Lithuania. The proposed framework will enable national and local authorities to identify and prioritise regions for land consolidation in a transparent way ensuring efficient management of resources and fair allocation of financial support.

“…The idea to consolidate land, pursued by many countries as an effective measure preventing poor spatial structure of rural areas and, at the same time, a practical, multifaceted instrument for optimising the living and economic conditions in rural areas, is expressly marked in discussions undertaken by researchers from Central and Eastern Europe [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], and from Asian countries [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The commonly observed fragmentation of land due to historical, socio-economic factors is a particular disadvantage affecting the productivity of local, national and global agriculture.…”

Estimation of the value of land, underlying the design of constituent plots of the farmstead, is a decisive element of the complex procedure of land consolidation and exchange. Correctly estimated value of agricultural land is a prerequisite for adequate and equitable delimitation of land plots to improve the living conditions of local residents and ensure efficient and profitable agricultural activity. The dynamic development of technology contributes to the development of multiple tools, considerably improving design works and field surveys in the land consolidation process. The world reference literature also gives numerous examples of surveys to optimise the methods for estimating a land value for consolidation projects. However, in our opinion, despite a vast collection of self-designed calculation methods, available sources insufficiently address the optimisation of existing methods based on the current legal framework and implementing practices. This paper presents a self-designed solution for the fully automated performance of complex comparative estimation of land based on the existing cadastral data and a simplified array showing the estimated value. The tool resulted in developing a set of data for directly importing the outcomes of calculations into land surveying software supporting steps of the land consolidation process. Following detailed evaluation, the proposed self-designed solutions were implemented at the Subcarpathian Office of Land Surveying, and Agricultural Areas in Rzeszow for land consolidation works in the Subcarpathian voivodeship in southeastern Poland.

“…In Poland, this is largely due to historical circumstances [14], resulting in the excessive fragmentation of land [15][16][17][18] and the poor quality of cadastral data [19][20][21]. The fragmentation of land affects many countries in the south of Europe, e.g., Bulgaria [22], Spain [23,24], Turkey [25][26][27], Cyprus [28], and Croatia [29], and in the west of Europe, including the Netherlands [30], but also countries of Central and Eastern Europe: the Czech Republic [31], Slovakia [32][33][34][35], and Poland [36,37]. The problem is also present in many countries on other continents: Mexico [38], India [39], China [40], and Iran [41].…”

Identifying Villages for Land Consolidation: A New Agricultural Wasteland Concentration Indicator

Land consolidation is a process of improving the spatial structure of rural areas, including agricultural wastelands. During work related to this geodesic operation, selected areas can be specified, and the most efficient ways of developing the analysed land can be proposed. Thanks to such rural management work, rural areas can become competitive and start deriving financial benefits from crop cultivation. At the same time, the living standard of their inhabitants is enhanced. The study covered 18 out of 44 villages situated within the administrative limits of the district of Brzozów in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship of south-eastern Poland. An agricultural wasteland concentration indicator was designed for this area based on six factors (soil quality class, agricultural soil complex, slope angle, risk of erosion, water regime, and slope aspect). Each factor was calculated as the total quotient of the weighted feature in relation to the total surface area of the study site. The last stage was a detailed analysis of the area featuring the highest value of the agricultural wasteland indicator—the village of Obarzym. The indicator described in this paper, designed to measure the concentration of agricultural wastelands, can be useful in programming and documenting assumptions for land consolidation to reveal the highest concentration of wasteland. The factors included in this publication refer to soil conditions, terrain relief, and the water regime. Their respective characteristics were designed via multiple calculations using geoprocessing algorithms in GIS software. Various geospatial data provided by district, regional, and national public institutions were used for the calculations. An advantage of the solution is that it can be used in various regions, irrespective of the location of the object to be consolidated.
