Land consolidation and sustainable development

Abstract

Land consolidation is a planned process by which the arrangement of agricultural holdings and parcels is performed, the road and canal network is designed, respectively the realization of the land consolidation project in an area completely regulates the space. Since land consolidation deals with land management, it is important that land consolidation projects are harmonized with the principles of environmental protection, respectively to be harmonized with the goals of sustainable development. Considering the importance of preserving the land itself, it is clear that land consolidation and sustainable development cannot be viewed separately. That is why this paper will show how land consolidation projects affect the sustainable development of the area. The research will be conducted by analyzing pedological profiles before and after land consolidation, and will cover the territory of the Municipality of Backa Topola.
