The results of the research presented in this paper concern the analysis and evaluation of the shape of parcels using the example of a precinct that underwent a land consolidation process in Poland in the 1930s. The aim of the study was to assess the spatial parameters of the record parcels involved in the cultivation process. The study included the determination of the degree of defectiveness of the present land layout and the estimation of the degree of deterioration of parcel boundaries between the present boundary layout and the boundary layout achieved after the consolidation. It also attempted to answer the following question: can a post-consolidation site from the last century have a land layout that allows for the current level of mechanisation of field work, and to what extent does the gradual fragmentation of parcels over the years reduce the efficiency of agricultural production in their area. The survey of the shape of the parcels was performed using the ‘Qgis’ software and the ‘SWORG’ Land Configuration Evaluation Support System. Cadastral data was used in the research process. The evaluation of the land parcel layout in both variants after the consolidation and in the present state was done with a synthetic measure of their layout, the so-called cultivation costs, which depend on the spatial layout of the parcels. The obtained result provided a basis for indicating the defects of the examined arrangement of borders and for determining that the defectiveness of the land parcel layout largely depends on the arrangement of borders designed in the consolidation process and on the degree of changes introduced in the land layout, which in the examined case was estimated at several percentage points.
