Analysis of the effects of land consolidation: Case study: Šašinci

Abstract

In the last few years, in the Vojvodina, starting-up and realization of the land consolidation projects have become more and more frequent. Therefore, land consolidation represents an area that is in extreme expansion, and which, according to the amount of funds invested in its launch and realization, represents a significant segment for the units of local self-government and the state itself. This paper deals with the analysis of the effects achieved by the land consolidation projects. Following metric data before and after land consolidation were used: number of parcels, average size of the parcel, area under the road and canal network, etc. The cadastral municipality (hereinafter, CM) Šašinci was taken as the subject municipality. In addition, for comparative analysis are used data from other CMs in Vojvodina, where land consolidation was also carried out. Based on figures and charts presented in paper, it can be concluded that the benefits of land consolidation are great. The number of parcels was reduced by an average of 59% per CM. The surface of the road and canal network increased significantly, as well.
