Abstract. Land consolidation and land exchange are two important measures that can be used to improve the spatial structure of farm holdings. Unfortunately, land cannot be consolidated and exchanged in all villages of a given area simultaneously, due to economic, technical, and social considerations. Instead, an analysis has to be carried out, which allows one to rank the villages with regard to how urgently they need consolidation and exchange of land. When analyzing and assessing which areas require land management measures most urgently, and especially when performing comparative spatial analyses, it is recommendable to use the methods of multidimensional statistics to determine a synthetic measure. Synthetic measures convert the features of an object analysed into one aggregate variable, allowing one to determine, which objects require consolidation and exchange of land more urgently than others. The aim of this study was to determine the need for consolidation and exchange of land in sixteen villages of the commune of Frampol, located in Biłgoraj District, Lubelskie Voivodship. The research area covered 1,0293.55 ha of farmland divided into 27,417 land parcels (cadastral plots). The Helwig's method was used to determine the ranking list. The calculations were done using a group of factors identified on the basis of data obtained from a real estate cadastre database for each of the locations studied. The results, expressed in the form of a synthetic measure for each village, allowed us to develop a prioritization scheme for consolidation interventions in the area discussed.

“…In addition, it should be noted that, due to the accepted diagnostic features, villages with a similar spatial structure of land are grouped together. There are studies in the literature that, based on factors, allow for the prioritization of consolidation work [39,41]. However, the proposal to combine villages into larger objects for consolidation is more appropriate due to personnel and financial constraints.…”

“…Therefore, it is appropriate that villages should be joined into larger typological units and grouped together. As proposed in this work, the next step may be to develop the hierarchy (order) of consolidation based on existing algorithms [39,41]. Land consolidation works are so difficult that it is easier to merge villages which are similar to one another at the same time due to the structure of agricultural land, distribution of agricultural real property plots, or plot shape and access parameters.…”

Land fragmentation and the distribution of plots in rural areas has a negative effect on the profitability and efficiency of agricultural production. Land consolidation and exchange is an operation that facilitates improvements in the spatial structure, while at the same time contributing to the sustainable development of rural areas. With regard to the large number of problem areas, they cannot be subject to land consolidation and exchange at the same time for reasons related to finance and human resources. Therefore, the authors propose that land for consolidation should be consolidated into larger typological units. Identifying those areas that are most similar facilitates the analysis and makes it possible to capture the spatial differentiation of land. The proposed method was tested on 116 villages in the county of Łęczna, situated in Lublin Voivodeship in Eastern Poland. The aim of this research is to develop the concept of village grouping into larger typological units. The obtained results allowed for the creation of a grouping methodology based on selected diagnostic variables that can be applied to other research objects. The description of differences between the identified groups of villages makes it possible to determine the hierarchy of urgency of for land consolidation and exchange. Although delimitation itself does not determine the sequence in which consolidation should be performed, it does allow for the identification of similar areas where such works should be performed at the same time. Based on properly selected guidelines, it is also possible to develop an adequate hierarchy of works. In addition, identifying areas which share similar spatial characteristics and consolidating them has a positive influence, primarily on the cultural heritage, because some variables reflect both quantitative and qualitative aspects of human development on the use of land and on the built-up environment.privatisation. Another negative factor resulting in negative spatial structure is the distribution of plots. In world literature, both fragmentation and the distribution of land is referred to as 'land fragmentation'. The authors distinguish four types of land fragmentation, depending on the number of owners using the specific piece of land, the form of ownership or title, the type of use, and the geometric structure of plots [6,9]. Along with the increase in the number of arable plots and their distance from the farmer's settlement, the cost of production increases and the farmer's income decreases [19][20][21][22][23]. The fragmentation of the land of individual farms is a huge problem that is a barrier to its development, modernization, and has the effect of the lowering the profitability obtained from production farming.A land surveying tool used for improving the arrangement of land is the operation of consolidation and the exchange of land which exists in Poland and in the world, for example, in such countries as the Netherlands [17], Cyprus [9], Slovakia [24] Czech Republic [25], China [26], Finland [27]...

“…Information regarding problem areas should be taken into account as a group of factors in identification of areas for land consolidation purposes, which is mentioned by [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. It is reasonable to promote alternative economic functions, and thus the most attractive method of management of the discussed areas during consolidation of land that can be allocated in the first place [10,18]:  for planting forests and trees,  to purposes not related to agriculture and forest management, e.g.…”

The development of rural areas is determined primarily by the natural environment. Abiotic factors such as soil, water and ambient temperature are very significant for agriculture. At the same time, the development of rural areas is conditioned by demographic aspects, structure of settlement, and professional activity of the local people. The main objective of rural land management is improving the spatial structure and the working and living conditions of the rural population in close relation to environmental protection and development of such grounds. In Poland, agricultural development directions include sustainable and organic agriculture. These forms of agriculture are developing intensively with regard to a large need for maintaining high crop yield and at the same time reducing the environmental burden. The production of high quality food is significant, while the highest possible biological equilibrium in the natural environment should be maintained at the same time. This article aims to indicate that the above-mentioned directions of development of rural areas are very important for Poland and they generate many advantages for the natural environment. In addition, a useful procedure in improving the spatial structure is land consolidation process carried out in rural areas. Its main objective is improving the configuration of land giving it an optimum shape. This process has a positive impact on agriculture and the community living in such areas.
