56. THE IMPACT OF LINE INVESTMENTS ON THE SIZE OF THE PLOT PATCHWORK IN RURAL AREAS – A CASE STUDY
Motorway construction has a negative impact on the spatial structure of agricultural land in rural areas, which has caused limitations in lifestyle and human work in the fields. Line investments such as a motorway have an actual influence on increasing the distances between plots which are the property of a single owner, dividing plots crossing the designed motorway section, increasing the number of plots, deteriorating the technical infrastructure and the road network or limiting the use of land. The impact of motorway routing was analyzed in southeastern Poland on the A4 motorway section, in Ropczyce-Sędziszów county, which splits the village of Borek Mały into two parts: northern and southern. The agricultural space in the village can be improved through the consolidation and exchange of land. The main goal of land consolidation is creating favourable conditions for agricultural management connected with improvement in the structure of farms, the configuration of land, as well as adaptation of plots to the terrain and the pattern of roads, including motorways. This paper is a continuation of studies aiming to carry out the analyses of the distribution of individual farmland within the internal and external plot patchwork and to determine the size of land that is the property of non-resident owners in the village split by the motorway.
