THE ROLE OF LAND CONSOLIDATION IN RURAL SPACE DEVELOPMENT

Jana Konečná, Michal Pochop, Jana Podhrázská, Petr Karásek, Eva Nováková

The primary goal of the land consolidation process is to create optimal conditions for agricultural management. Land consolidations spatially and functionally organize land in the public interest, merge or divide it, and provide the accessibility and use of land and the alignment of their borders to create conditions for rational farming. It is defined by law that soil, water and environmental conservation are important and publicly necessary aspects of any complex land consolidation. Hence, land consolidation creates a space for the design and implementation of soil, water and environment conservation measures (e.g., grassing, balks, tree belts, reservoirs, …). Land consolidation plans are supported by the government and EU funds are accessed for the implementation of protective and ecological measures. Using concrete examples, the article shows how built multifunctional measures (incl. tourist rest points) contribute to the improvement of non-production functions of the agricultural landscape, its aesthetics and recreational potential.
