The main aim of this report is estimation the effectiveness of land consoli-dation projects realized after getting access of Poland to the European Union (year 2004). It contains research results, which were based on a representative sample of 12 objects - villages, where consolidation works were done. They are located in different parts of Poland - proportionally to the amount of achieved works.The estimation of partition layout of investigated farms was based on data from maps and plot registers obtained from the district authorities.The estimation of profit level as consequence of partition layout was made as follows. The investigations cover 300 of farms registered in Polish FADN in Mazowsze and Podlasie region. For plant and mixed plant-animal farms, the plot-to-homestead distance and the profit have been obtained and put into statistical analysis.The effectiveness of land consolidation was estimated basing on the internal refund rate method (IRR), according to rules proposed by Trocki and Grucza.Basing on the results of investigations, it has been ascertained that land consolidation gives the following effects:- Decrease of plots per farm by 48,9%, Increase of area of plot by 95,0 %, reduce of plot-to-homestead distance by 24,6%;- Growth of profit by 12-43,8%, Annual internal refund rate ...
This article presents the analysis on the direction and range of changes in rural areas utilization. It suggests actions to minimize the decrease in agricultural and arable land on better soils.The investigations was conducted on three levels:- National level. Basing on 1990, 2000 i 2006 CORINE Land Cover data, and GUS data from the last 40 years.- Regional level. Basing on the data from podlaskie and warmińsko-mazurskie voivodeships.- Community level. Basing on the data from 3 communities located in małopolskie, lubuskie and lubelskie voivodeships.The results of investigations allow to draw the following conclusions:- Due to CORINE Land Cover data, the annual changes of ground utilization in Poland covers about 25 thousands of ha (0,08-0,1% of total area).- It was found, that in the last 40 years, the rate of transforming agricultural ground into non-agricultural ones is decreasing, but the coefficient of good and very good grounds (I to III class) is growing.- The total agricultural area was shrinking in all investigated communities, supplying building areas, communication areas, forests and waters. The coefficient of transformation (in 30-years period) varies from about 3% of total area - for pure agricultural communities, to about 9% - for industrial ones or those ...
The current paper presents the results of evaluation of the influence of selected measures within Rural Development Programme (RDP), such as spatial development, afforestation, land consolidation, water management, village renewal and agri-environmental programmes on rural areas in Poland.The data used in the study cover the years 2004-2015, and were collected from the reports of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Polish Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARMA), Polish Central Statistical Office (CSO), with special consideration given to normative acts concerning the Rural Development Plan 2007-2013 and 2014-2020, and the results of a study on different aspects of rural development conducted at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute in Puławy (IUNG-PIB). Our study clearly shows that aforementioned measures differ significantly in terms of the level of implementation in Poland. Thus, the spatial development operation, one of the most important activities in relation to the sustainable development of rural areas, has not been introduced in RDP as s separately task. Additionally, the initiatives regarding water retention were also not fully implemented under the RDP 2007-2013 because of the shortage of time. The process of land consolidation has contributed only to very little change in ...
The current study presents status and the need for improvement of the land distribution of family agricultural holdings in Poland. The assessment of the distribution of farm lands in the area between 1 and 300 ha has been made according to the 2013 data and provided by the Polish Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARMA). Our analysis included totally app. 750,000 of family agricultural holdings. The evaluation of land consolidation was based on the two regional criteria proposed by the Regional Offices of Geodesy and Agricultural Areas, i.e. the plot size and the number of plots within individual family farms.The family agricultural holdings, that are included to the Polish system of agricultural support, have an average land area of around 16.0 ha, and this refers to around 6 cadastral plots with an average acreage of app. 3.0 ha. The need of land consolidation was estimated to be at the level of app. 7.1 million ha (this corresponds to 69.14% of total agricultural area land in Poland). The problem occurs in the entire country, but the worst situation is in the southern, south-eastern and central Poland. The implementation of the land consolidation and farmland exchange procedures within the Programme ...
The aim of this study is to propose methods for accelerating and simplifying procedures of the preparatory process in highway construction, coupled with the process of land consolidation and exchange. The methods should reduce the cost of preparing the project, and increase the social acceptance of its implementation.The investigations cover two villages crossed by the A4 highway Kraków-Tarnów: Brzezie (Kłaj community) and Zakrzów (Niepołomice community), located in wielicki district.The study was performed in accordance with applicable laws, based on the results of property valuations, project of geodetic plot division, and the report on impact of project on the natural environment. The part of the project was a ques-tionnaire survey of the two investigated villages inhabitants. It concerned the evaluation of work and the way of acquisition the land for the highway.The study proposes the method of parallel proceedings in obtaining land and near-highway areas arrangement. It is possible to perform while conducting the land consolidation work, and organizational and legal proceedings to acquire land for the highway. It creates the opportunity to acquire the land at lower price. The savings could be allocated to cover the costs of land consolidation and subsequent arrangement works. ...
