In Bavaria, approximately 1, 900 procedures under the Land Consolidation Act are being carried out constantly, covering some 1.4 million hectares; this means that 20% of the Bavarian territory is always under land consolidation. No village renewal without land consolidation and, if possible, no land consolidation without village renewal-in Bavaria the two are closely linked.
In Bavaria, the possibilities offered by law for the restructuring of land consolidation areas are intensively used in order to provide as comprehensive support as possible to the rural areas. The complexity, the difficulty and the problems of the restructuring tasks require a thorough co-ordination of all land planning and technical, chronological and financial procedures. Land consolidation, therefore, needs the co-operation of all parties concerned.
The tasks of Bavarian land consolidation include support to agriculture and forestry by means of the traditional measures of land consolidation, (e.g. consolidation and construction of roads) village renewal, release of land for building development, landscape planning, land consolidation measures aiming at large-scale provisions of land for projects of public interest, procedures in areas with special crops such as vine, hops, asparagus, vegetables or fruit as well as land consolidation measures for alpine pasture and woodland areas. The intermediate acquisition of land (annually nearly 1, 500hectares for the sum of 63.8 million DM) and the necessary public relations and information work must also be stressed.
Priority areas are outlined in the Regional Development Programme for Bavaria, amended May 3, 1984. Thus, land consolidation, reaching far beyond its engagement in agricultural policies, is and will continue to be a socio-political task of great importance.
