Floods bring about great destruction, death and property loss. For many years, there has been a search for efficient methods to prevent this type of disaster as well as to reduce the tragic effects they cause. An important step in this matter was the Floods Directive passed by the European Parliament and the Council in October 2007. In Poland, one of many efforts towards preventing the effects of floods was the Act on Specific Principles Concerning Preparation of Implementa-tion of Flood Protection Projects passed in July 2010. Such projects include, e.g. bypass channels, flood protection polders, impounding reservoirs and flood banks. Acquisition of properties in connection to project implementation can proceed pursuant to the Act, e.g. by land consolidation proceedings. This paper presents a theoretical concept of a flood control study for the purpose of land consolidation works, indicating the main sources of spatial and descriptive data necessary for preparation of this type of study. They include, e.g. the results of studies and analyses concerning characteristics of the consolidation objects and a series of other materials thematically related to flood risk - such as preliminary assessments of flood risk, flood hazard maps or flood risk maps the preparation of which ...

Crisis management involves actions which are aimed at preventing natural risks such as floods and landslides. Prevention consists of activities which are re-lated to modernization of existing flood banks or the construction of new hydraulic infrastructure. Stage of predicting the potential effects of hazards is a time of prep-aration of any security in the form of such databases necessary in the process of crisis management - e.g. landslides register. The aim of the study is to present the land registry in regard to extreme natural risks such as floods and landslides. Cadastral data plays an important role in crisis management, including actions related to prevention and preparation for crisis situations. This allows for spatial reconnaissance of areas threatened by flood or landslides with simultaneous analysis of its dominion and usage. ...
Land consolidation is one of most important and difficult processes trans-forming the functional and spatial structure of rural areas in the European Union. In order to make the quality of land consolidating operations a factor with a significant impact on establishing strong, economically efficient farms, facilitating access to roads and other components of technical infrastructure while maintaining the landscape values and biodiversity and protecting rural areas against the effects of natural threats, contractors responsible for land consolidation must be provided with quick, easy access not only to current and skillfully selected data, but also to tools and solutions for their spatial analyses (2D, 3D) together with visualization of the results of these analyses.This paper presents a potential application of geovisualisation as a sup-porting tool for analyses and studies of a consolidated object with a focus on existing environmental conditions as well as on the occurrence of extreme natural phenomena. Thanks to geovisualisation, it will be possible to generate a more precise and accurate interpretation of spatial phenomena and changes. ...
Extreme weather conditions, including floods, are affecting our country increasingly often. They cause a threat to human lives and huge economic, social and natural damage. Flood damage occurring in agriculturally-developed areas include, e.g. contamination of arable soil with chemical or biological substances, but also losses in agricultural crops, gathered supplies and farming machines.The aim of the study is to present reclamation procedures as one of the possible methods for settling flood damage. Land reclamation can be carried out as a part of post-consolidation management. Its aim is to restore usable properties of farming land damaged, for example, by flood. Areas recommended for reclamation are presented in the objectives of the land consolidation project. The direction of rendering a given area productive depends on many factors, which mainly include arrangements of the local zoning plan, social and economic needs and technical conditions of the land. ...
The implementation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure Act in 2010 contributed to the dynamic development of spatial services. Public authorities are under obligation to create access to information in registers of spatial resources and services with the involvement of technology platforms that facilitate data search, downloading and browsing (Web Map Services - WMS). The goal of rural development policies is to improve living standards, promote social and economic development and support land management practices in rural areas in accordance with environmental protection regulations. The achievement of those goals requires access to reliable and up-to-date spatial information that can be obtained from national, regional and local WMS applications. This paper describes the applicability of WMS for rural development policy-making, with special emphasis on applications that are already based on cadastral data. ...
The 2013 amendment to the Land and Mortgage Registers and Mortgage Act takes into account the standpoint of the Constitutional Tribunal regarding the division of a mortgaged property. The regulations of the act which were in effect before its amendment with respect to the removal, by way of division, of the shared ownership of a real estate property which had been mortgaged, were in violation of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, because the mortgage encumbered fractions of all the newly demarcated land properties. The document presents the issues associated with the legal aspects of the procedure of separating a new unmortgaged real estate property, created as a result of the division of a previously existing entry in the mortgage register with legally valid encumbrance. ...
One of the indicators of sustainable development is spatial order, under-stood as a spatial arrangement which includes e.g. natural, social and economic, cultural as well as compositional and aesthetic conditions. Ensuring spatial order in rural areas is difficult due to various forms of elements occurring there. How-ever, the original method for assessing spatial order of rural areas presented in the study allows to assess the spatial order and at the same time provides the possibility of demonstrating which of the elements making up the space under analysis has a negative effect on the land management status. The study also presents a theoretical concept of a GIS database supporting the assessment of the spatial order of rural areas, indicating its source components, which include, e.g. a land and building register and a soil-agricultural map. Additionally, it also shows some examples of spatial analyses, the results of which have been derived in the form of a map assessing the status of spatial order and a tabular-descriptive report supplementing it.

One of the indicators of sustainable development is spatial order, under-stood as a spatial arrangement which includes e.g. natural, social and economic, cultural as well as compositional and aesthetic conditions.The objective of the study was to define the concept of spatial planning in non-urbanised areas and to devise a method to assess compliance of the partition of estates with spatial planning.As part of the study, indicators and their meters have been developed to as-sess the state of spatial planning of an non-urbanised real estate prior to partition of the estate and to make it possible to assess the impact of the anticipated partition of the estate on the state of the spatial plan in a given non-urbanised area.Furthermore, subsequent stages have been presented in the assessment of spatial plans and possible application of this method in practice.
