MENDELNET <strong>2013</strong>LAND CONSOLIDATION AS AN USEFUL TOOL FOR RURALDEVELOPMENTVarga V., Bažík J.Department of Landscape Planning and Ground Design, Horticulture and LandscapeEngineering Faculty, Slovak University of Agriculture, Hospodárska 7, 949 76 Nitra,Slovak RepublicE-mail: viki.varg@gmail.comABSTRACTMost of the land consolidation projects have been regarded as an instrument or entry point for ruraldevelopment. Early concepts of rural development were virtually the same as agriculturaldevelopment because of the predominant role of agriculture in rural areas at the time. The cadastralarea of Veľké Vozokany was picked as a case study area. Measures proposed and realized in thefuture in the frame of a landscape consolidation project are highlighted in this contribution. Thesefollowing aspects can be named among them: consolidation of parcels, enlargement of holdings andadditional measures including irrigation and drainage infrastructure to improve water management,construction of field roads, land levelling, soil improvement measures and changes to land use suchas converting agriculturally inferior land into forest land or wetlands. Impact of land consolidationon rural development is demonstrated. By designing new field roads the road infrastructure in thecadastral area has been improved. Water erosion control measures and new water facilities aided inbetter water resource management. Measures for ecological stability increased the land resistance.Key words: land consolidation, parcels consolidation, cadastral areaAcknowledgments: Results obtained in the research projects VEGA no. 1/0656/12 and KEGA no.037SPU-4/2011 have been used/presented in this paper.526 | P age
