    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Leń, Przemysław
    A patchwork of land ownership is one of the factors that exert negative influence on both the organization and level of agricultural production. Excessive land fragmentation decreases the intensity of agricultural practices and increases production costs, thus leading to a continuous reduction in income. Over the years, fields in many areas of Poland have been divided into smaller and smaller parcels, which has resulted in a faulty land ownership structure (along with a mass exodus of people to towns as well as abroad. This article presents a detailed study of the land ownership structure of fourteen villages situated in the commune of Bialaczów (district of the Opoczno and Łódź voivodeships). The aim of the article is to determine the intensification of the phenomenon of dispersion of farmland in the villages of the examined municipality using chessboard type tables.
