Application of Gis Tools in Analysing a Road Network Providing Access to Cadastral Parcels in the Project Concerning Land Consolidation and Exchange

Abstract

Issues specified in the study concern evaluating a road network providing access to cadastral parcels in villages divided by a linear investment. The scope of work includes the villages of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship which are crossed by the motorway dividing them into two parts of different sizes- the northern and southern ones located along the motorway. Basing on the data from the descriptive and cartographic part of the Land and Buildings Register, there were made detailed surveys of the spatial structure of land in rural areas. In this regard, a detailed analysis of the road network in villages of the Podkarpackie Voivodship was made using QGIS tools. Detailed examinations have revealed parcels without access to the road. In conducting research in this field, a cartographic method was used to present the distribution of cadastral parcels without access on local registration maps with the application of QGIS tools. On the basis of land register data and the factual assessment, there was made an evaluation of the road network providing direct access to cropland in the examined villages. Poorly developed network of roads providing direct access to cropland, combined with strong fragmentation of plots and other degradation effects resulting from the motorway construction illustrates the scale of this problem. Complex consolidation and exchange of land can play the corrective role in the space degraded by linear investments.
