An algorithm for selecting groups of factors for prioritization of land consolidation in rural areas

Therefore, in the present study, an attempt was made to develop a universal algorithm for selecting groups of factors for purposes of prioritization of land consolidation which takes into account the geographic location of an investigated area. To test the proposed algorithm, analyses were carried out in two communes located in central and south-eastern Poland which differed significantly in terms of the spatial structure of farm holdings. A first test object was the commune of Paradyż, occupying an area of 8125.73 ha and divided into 15,941 cadastral plots. A second test object was the commune of Frysztak, located in south-eastern Poland, with an area of 9066.86 ha, divided into 21,506 cadastral plots.
