    Assessment of the spatial effects of land-consolidation works carried out in Poland in the years 2007-2013
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Stańczuk-Gałwiaczek, Małgorzata
    A large percentage of rural areas in Poland require deep structural changes. Such lands (in particular, areas in southern and southeastern Poland) are characterized by the excessive fragmentation of land owned by individual farmers, a disadvantageous expanse of lands, and the poor condition of the technical and institutional infrastructures (or a lack thereof). Disadvantageous demographic processes (such as the migration of inhabitants from villages to cities and aging of the local population) also occur in those areas. It is possible to improve the current conditions through the effective implementation of rural-area development programs, such as the implementation of land-consolidation works. The objective of this work is to assess the spatial effects of land-consolidation works carried out in Poland. The research was based on a representative sample of 38 study objects located in different parts of Poland. For the assumed study objects, changes of the basic parameters that characterize the spatial structure of the lands were examined. These resulted from the performed land-consolidation process: the coefficient of the decrease in the total number of parcels and the coefficient of the increase in the size of the average plot for the examined objects.

    Selected Aspects of the Application of Terrestrial Laser Scanning as a Tool to Support the Development of Rural Areas
    (2013) Pluta, Magda; Biłka, Pelagia
    This paper discusses the selected aspects of the application of terrestrial laser scanning as a tool to support the development of rural areas. This paper presents an overview of the current state of knowledge, which is shown in horizontal way. The possibilities of using terrestrial laser scanning in agriculture, forestry and architecture have been discussed as a factors to have an impact to well-organized spatial order as the foundation of optimal use of the existing resources.
