ABSTRACT
The results presented in the study concern the analysis and assessment of the arrangement of plots on the example of a precinct that in the 1930s in Poland was subject to a process of partial land consolidation. The aim of the study was to assess the spatial arrangement parameters of the cadastral plots involved in plant cultivation. The research assumed the determination of the degree of defectiveness of the present land layout and the estimation of the degree of deterioration of the arrangement of plot boundaries between the present boundary layout and the boundary layout formed in the previous century. In addition, it was attempted to answer the following question: to what extent does the progressive fragmentation of plots over the years reduce the efficiency of agricultural production carried out in their area. The arrangement of the plots was studied using the ‘Qgis’ software, with the help of which all the necessary parameters of the spatial arrangement of the plots were estimated. In the research process, cadastral data and orthophotomaps, obtained from the geoportal of the Central Office of Geodesy and Cartography in Poland, were used. The assessment of the arrangement of the plots in both old and present variants was carried out through a synthetic measure of their arrangement in the form of the so-called cultivation costs, which depend on the spatial arrangement of the plots. The obtained result provided a basis for indicating the defects of the surveyed layout of boundaries, and for concluding that the defectiveness of the arrangement of plots depends to a large extent on the original layout of boundaries and on the degree of introduced changes in the land layout, which in the surveyed case was estimated at several percentage points.
