During the land reform, which has been going on in Ukraine since 1991, state form of ownership demonopolized. The lands almost 12,000 farms have reformed, and 6.77 million peasants acquired rights (shares), vast majority are registered as separate plots land. Today, consolidation should be considered a set management measures to regulate structure order create more favorable conditions for farm...

Due to the undulating terrain, earthwork estimation was very difficult in the planning and design of land consolidation projects in the hilly areas. A new approach was proposed to estimate the earthwork of sloped terraces according to map features of planning and design of land consolidation in this paper. It was achieved by applying digital elevation model (DEM) theory and statistical function...

This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis to measure scale and technical efficiencies of 925 farms in rural Colombia and a Tobit model to identify the effects of land market characteristics on efficiency. Findings indicate that although larger farms are more scale efficient, they are not more technical efficient than small farms. Participation in land markets increases technical efficiency, ind...

Shape analysis is of interest in many fields of spatial science and planning including land management in rural areas. In particular, evaluating the shape of existing land parcels is critical when implementing rural development schemes such as land consolidation. However, existing land parcel shape indices have major deficiencies: completely different shapes of parcels may have the same index v...

As an important reserve cultivated land resource in my country, its development and utilization are of great significance to ensure food security. Aiming at the problems bare gravel leakage shallow soil layer barren rock beach area, through community simulation experiments, different covering structures were set up on basis underlying gravel, effects physical chemical properties crop yield moni...
