LAND CONSOLIDATION TO PROVIDE AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR LARGE PUBLIC PROJECTS - THE EXAMPLE OF GERMANY AND ITS USE FOR THE UKRAINE
LAND CONSOLIDATION TO PROVIDE AGRICULTURAL LAND FOR LARGE PUBLIC PROJECTS - THE EXAMPLE OF GERMANY AND ITS USE FOR THE UKRAINE

Summary/Abstract: Motives: New infrastructure and settlement areas required for the development of a state regularly reduce the amount of agricultural land available. However, the latter is needed to produce food and biomass. If military activities take place on the territory of a country such as Ukraine, agricultural land will inevitably be damaged in the medium to long term so that it cannot be used for agricultural purposes or only to a minimal extent. Such land use must be carried out with the least possible negative impact on the agricultural structure, and any resulting disadvantages must be compensated for as much as possible. Aim: This article presents "Unternehmensflurbereinigung," a land consolidation instrument successfully used in Germany for decades, and analyzes its potential applicability in Ukraine for infrastructure development and mitigating war-related damage. Results: This article shows which methodological approaches can be used to make land available for such large public projects as repairing war damage. It also develops the requirements and possible solutions for implementing the instrument in practice.
