| Abstract | A characteristic feature of Polish rural areas is a high biodiversity. Its existence is caused by extensive agriculture and agrarian structure fragmentation. This fact puts a huge responsibility on surveyors and other profes- sionals responsible for the land consolidation process in Poland, as they are to improve farming conditions with re- spect for the sensitive environmental structures. In contemporary land consolidation works rules of sustainable development are considered. Following those rules, new non-agricultural functions are introduced in the rural space. A concept of post-consolidation area management is developed within the land consolidation project; this concept includes: protection of the natural environment, man- agement of rural landscapes, delineation of lands to be used for the needs of technical and social infrastructure, and water management. The paper presents the land consolidation project that is in place in southeastern Poland. The project is located in an area with special landscape values, which could be threatened by the land consolidation process. The recent pro- environmental changes in land consolidation procedure are presented and discussed. |
