Displaying 46 - 50 of 152Preventing and resolving social dissatisfaction in spatial management in rural areas
The paper addresses the issue of dissatisfaction related to spatial management in rural areas illustrated with an example of southern Poland. In this region, the spatial structure of rural areas is poor, which results, e.g., from substantial fragmentation and scattering of land. Additionally, the Land and Property Register, also known as the real property cadastre for the area is not up to date, and fails to meet social expectations, in particular those regarding the ownership title.
Road accessibility problem as part of land consolidation planning
Land consolidation is an implement, which allows the rearrangement of spatial structure in rural areas leading to their socioeconomic development. However, the process is costly and time consuming. The needs for land consolidation always exceed the actual possibility of its implementation, therefore it is essential to develop tools, which identify areas of high priority for such investments. Most often they are based on multi-criteria spatial analyses, which include a number of parameters defining agricultural production area.
Ethical aspects of privatization process in the public agriculture sector
Lease of farm lands is the most important process of proprietorial changes in the state’s agriculture sector. As an effect of turbulent socio-economic conditions and legal solutions resulting from country’s agricultural politics, its share in land’s management has significantly shrunk. Currently there is around 1.1 million ha of land in lease, which makes up for 23% of the land acquired by the Agricultural Property Agency of the State Treasury.
Analysis of effective legislative acts on land degradation
Land is a non-renewable resource with a limited access and therefore a wholesome and sustainable use of land and maintenance of beneficial land properties are very important. Economic activity always has been the main propulsion of use of land resource. With global economic growth, the intensity of use of land resource as a main resource has only increased. Soil is one of the most important components of land, because it provides biodiversity of the land and functioning of ecosystems.
