A land consolidation geoportal as a useful tool in land consolidation projects – A case study of villages in southern Poland

Abstract

Motives: The area of consolidated land plots as well as numerous social and legal factors prolong and complicate land consolidation projects. Land consolidation projects require massive investment and the involvement of consolidation experts and all landowners. The required information can be made available online to streamline this process. The data available in an online map portal can be used to perform visual and substantive analyses of spatial changes in land consolidation projects.Aim: This study addresses the issues related to the design of a map portal for a land consolidation project covering villages in southern Poland. The proposed geoportal will support communication between land consolidation participants and surveyors.Results: The geoportal is available at: https://arcg.is/15Wirj1, and it provides users with access to information about the land consolidation project. Portal users can submit their opinions and objections online.
