Land consolidation in rural areas is greatly influenced by a number of social, agricultural, and economic factors. They extend the time and complicate activities related to the implementation of this project. Land consolidation is a huge investment, requiring a good and up-to-date map. Up-to-date data that reflects reality are the basis for good and efficient land consolidation in rural areas. To improve the creation of a land consolidation project, the most appropriate solution would be to place all the necessary data to create a land consolidation project on “geoportals” websites. Providing data on the websites of geoportals in Poland and Finland in the form of a map portal would enable both visual and substantive analysis of spatial changes in rural areas. Therefore, this article pursues two main scientific goals. The first purpose of this article is to analyze the history and scope of land consolidation in Poland and Finland in order to learn the specifics of land consolidation in a given country. Comparisons and analyses were made on the basis of the authors’ experience in Poland and Finland with land consolidation in the areas described. The second scientific goal of the article is to compare the availability of geospatial data in the context of the methodology of performing land consolidation in rural areas, which leads to increased energy efficiency in agricultural production by reducing the need for energy, especially fuel for agricultural machinery. The results from the table with a list of geoportals in Poland and Finland are a summary of the data available for free. Thanks to it, land consolidation contractors around the world will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with and perhaps use this data when creating a rural land consolidation project. Good land consolidation planning will lead to effective and economical use of rural space. This is part of the 2030/2050 strategy. Reducing agricultural production costs, lower fuel consumption, and a smaller carbon footprint. This is what Poland and Finland are striving for as countries belonging to the European Union.

A unique geoinformation service “The Interactive Geology Atlas” has been created and launched based on the data obtained by the Authors during years of research and evaluation of integrated biostratigraphic, paleomagnetic and sedimentological data as well as published references materials. The Interactive Atlas includes geological sections comprehensively studied, described and mapped. Contrary to analogous services, the Atlas covers more territory of Paratethys and time laps and allows to add various content depending on the user requirements. All maps (basemaps) are available for study both individually and joint for comprehensive analysis through the compiling the unified legend to all layers and maps. The combination of different data allows to track how the paleogeographic conditions of the Paratethys territory have evolved and to highlight the main events associated with fluctuations in climate, salinity, etc. Besides being scientifically interesting, the Atlas can become useful in geologic exploration with a view to evaluate the potential areas of mineral resources. For instance, paleogeographic maps are crucial in this regard. FAIR principles have become the reference criteria for improving datasets: Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability.

“…Stakeholder roundtables, during which the interim results of the project were evaluated, helped to identify some GIS implementation problems, similar to those encountered in other countries. In particular, observations after conducting the pilot implementation and publishing the Geoportal of Sokółka, Poland (Medolińska, K., Gołębiowska, I., & Karsznia, I., 2017), demonstrate common for Zhytomyr region difficulties of moderation the involvement of the authorities and government employees in the implementation of the GIS project; lack of preparation of employees of the IT department to handle GIS software; resistance of employees to the permanent changes, lack of vector data from the local authorities, preventing use of the full potential of GIS; no good practices related to the implementation of GIS in local governments. Discussing the threats, experts mentioned the rapid technological development and the absence of a strong legal framework.…”

“…Baud et al (2016) presented case studies in six medium-sized cities in India, South Africa, Brazil, and Peru, linking to discussions on how knowledge construction and circulation, transformed through digitization and spatialization, can improve competences in local government, make urban planning more knowledge-based, and provide greater recognition of citizens' knowledge. Medolińska, Gołębiowska, and Karsznia (2017) presented the process of designing and developing a GIS portal for the local community in a small town in Poland, Sokółka. Eria and McMaster (2017) showed the process of adoption of GIS by institutions in Uganda from the viewpoint of diffusion theory.…”

The paper is contributing to the development concept through highlighting the issue of implementing a brandnew territorial management system based on GIS technology into the regional public governance of developing country (on the example of Zhytomyr oblast of Ukraine as a leader of decentralization processes in the state according the official statistics of forming the amalgamated communities). Three basic methods were used: monographic methodto identify the peculiarities of the GIS activities of regional government entities; comparative studies and benchmarkingto compare GIS managing models performed in the world and find the best relevant practices; project management analysisto prepare solution for creating pilot model as a full turnkey intellectual product (ready for dissemination project application which include logical-structural matrix of project goals and results, stakeholders analysis, timing for activities, indicators for evaluation, budget etc). Project application is completed with an evaluation of the Zhytomyr regional geoportal, implemented on its basement. In particular, there have been analyzed geoportal functions, their impact from economic and social benefits point, existing problems related to the project implementation process, benefits and prospects for future activities. It is proved that performed model will allow to create more effective than already existing mechanism of public administration at the region; to develop algorithms for interaction between public authorities and communities, to enhance the process of decentralization and territorial development.
