Summary:

The spatial structure of rural areas is changed as a result of rural surveying works, such as land consolidation, afforestation, reclamation, improvement and divisions. Execution of those procedures must be based on modern methods for performing specialist studies, concerning, e.g. soil, physiographical, social, economic or ownership conditions, with the use of digital spatial data and methods for their processing. Those analyses will be based on cadastral data concerning the ownership and usage status, and the data quality and completeness will determine the decisions undertaken with regard to implementation of specific procedures in a given area.
