Land configuration changeability of plots earmarked for grassland in the village of Filipowice

Changes, occurring in agricultural production space and caused by human activities, impact the present state of farmland spatial structure. In Southern Po-land, farm plots are unfavourably shaped and excessively fragmented and, thus, they cannot be as effectively utilized as are the properly shaped plots having an optimal surface area. This actual state of spatial structure forces the necessity for performing arrangement and agricultural works with the aim to reconstruct the existing farmland system so that its prospective agricultural utilization becomes effective and brings measurable financial profits. In the paper, results of the research into the ladn configuration of plots earmarked for grassland are presented. The plots researched belong to farms situ-ated in a village of Filipowice, in the Province of Małopolska.

Optimization of the spatial structure of the Filipowice village combined with the change of strip plot deployment

The method used to optimize the rural land system takes into account two basic trends of its improvement: approaching lands to habitats and the size and shape of plots. The basis for creating optimization model is the division of the con-solidation lands complexes into small elementary strips and determining their dis-tances to farm habitats. The final result of the optimization procedure is a com-plete digital map of the new land deployment allowing to summarize the required cadastral documentation. Time-consuming processes of data preparation, model construction and its solutions have been automated by computer programs, which enable practical application of this method. The optimization, carried out for of Filipowice village, prowed that changie of existing land deployment, so that the main direction of the parcel was to be parallel to the axis of the development, can substantially reduce the length and surface of roads.

Evaluation of the spatial structure of Sękowa village based on data from the land register and analysis of the actual state

Agricultural spatial structure in Poland is highly disadvantageous in the extensive area of the country, which especially concerns Southern and South-Eastern Poland. The far-reaching changes of particular parameters of this struc-ture are mostly the result of land consolidation works carried out pursuant to the provisions of the Act on land consolidation and exchange of land dated 26 March 1982. One of the most important premise qualifying a given area for land consol-idation is excessive land fragmentation, the effect of which is a large number of land plots belonging to individual farms which is usually connected with a slight, average surface of such plot. The data used during the analysis of land fragmentation in a given area is usually obtained via examination of the descriptive part of land and building register survey. The above approach may sometimes result in an incorrect description of the real state of farm spatial structure in a given area, as it was demonstrated in the presented article on the Sękowa village, situated in the Sękowa commune, gorlicki district. In this area one can observe significant discrepancies between the land fragmentation shown in data analysis of land register and the real fragmentation, the scale of which was ...
