Engineering Geodesy in Rural Land Consolidation Procedures in the Republic of Croatia

After the Act on the Agricultural Land Consolidation [OG 51/2015] had been passed, the legal basis was prescribed for re-enforcement of land consolidation on the territory of the Republic of Croatia for the first time after asserting its independence. The Ordinance on Expert Geodetic Works in Land Consolidation [OG 123/2015] regulates the actions in land consolidation procedures carried out by the persons licensed to perform expert geodetic works including the actions from the domain of Engineering Geodesy. Agricultural land consolidation is carried out on the basis of multi-annual and annual programs prepared by the Agricultural Land Agency. This paper gives an overview of activities taken so far concerning conceptual designs for five locations in which land consolidation should be carried out. The focus of the paper is on Engineering Geodesy activities in procedures of land consolidation, such as the design of the road and duct networks and the role in amelioration.
