Determination of the Urgency of Undertaking Land Consolidation Works in the Villages of the Sławno Municipality

Abstract

The object of the paper is to analyze the spatial structure of land and identification of the needs of consolidation works and exchange of land in the villages of the Sławno municipality, lying in the district of Opoczno, in the Łódzkie Voivodship. The authors use the method of zero unitarisation for the purposes of determining the order of undertaking consolidation works and exchange of land in the area of research. The basis for calculation is the database of 19 factors (x 1 -x 19 ) characteristic for the listed five groups of issues, describing each of the following villages. The obtained results, in a form of synthetic meter for each village, allowed creating the hierarchy of the urgency of carrying out consolidation works. The problem of excessive fragmentation of farms, constituting the collections of a certain number of parcels, in a broader sense, is one of the elements that prevent the acceleration of reforms by conversion of the Land and Buildings Register (EGiB) in a full valuable real estate cadastre in Poland. The importance of the problem is highlighted by the fact that there are ecological grounds in the study area, significant from the point of view of environmental protection.

The Use of Statistical Methods for the Evaluation of Land Adjustment Proposals and Elimination of the Patchwork Pattern of Land Ownership

“…The ranking was established using Hellwig's synthetic indicator of development (Hellwig 1968;Pluta 1968;Bartosiewicz 1976;Krakowiak-Bal 2005). The calculations were carried out using 19 factors describing each of these localities, as selected previously by Leń and Mika (2016b). The results in the form of a synthetic indicator for each village enabled us to create a ranking of priority of land consolidation and exchange interventions.…”

“…Development of agricultural production space, as shown in numerous studies (Wójcik, Leń 2015;Leń, Mika 2016a, 2016b, has resulted in a very faulty structure of ownership of arable land in the examined area. Such an inefficient land ownership structure requires urgent intervention aimed at adjusting land use to the advanced agricultural technologies of the 21st century.…”

Prioritization of land consolidation and exchange works in villages of Eastern Poland using example of Frampol commune

“…Due to financial restraints, it is necessary to identify the most defective areas and eliminate them, which will have a positive impact on the construction of a full-featured real property cadastre [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. For many years studies have been carried out pertaining to comprehensive programming of land consolidation works [22][23][24][25], aiming to develop a universal algorithm for the hierarchization of land consolidation works.…”

The size of the external patchwork of fields as an indicator of the need for land consolidation and exchange in the villages of the commune of Drzewica

“…An analysis carried out in the villages of the commune of Sławno (district of Opoczno, Łódź Province) showed that 40.9% of the total surface area of farmland belonging to individual holdings was located in external patchworks, which represented 43.1% of the total number of privately owned plots [LEŃ, MIKA 2016a]. A preliminary study in the village of Brzustowiec, located in the commune of Drzewica showed that 26.9% of the total number of privately owned plots of land (23.8% of all private farmland) in that village belonged to out-of-village owners [LEŃ, MIKA 2016b].…”
