Analyses of development models of land consolidation in Kosovo and its perspectives

Abstract

This paper presents the regulatory role of lands in the Republic of Kosovo, through various forms of land consolidation. Land consolidation is a technical-agrarian process and it is a very good combination of legal works, geodetic and agrarian fields. With this system of regulation for land administration and management, property and other natural resources, provided under the approved policies for land management, were directly or indirectly related to land consolidation properties. It is clear that in Western European countries, land management and administration systems have a high level, whereas in the countries of Central and Southeast Europe, these processes are in the trend of development. Land consolidation forms of lands in Kosovo, as seen in the paper, are special opportunities for their administration and management. An important factor in this technical agrarian process was the active participation of owners in the area that land consolidation introduced the implementation of the project. Land consolidation is a comprehensive regulatory process to land, because it starts with the smallest unit and aims to continue within the database, cadastre and management system up to land policies. To achieve the objectives in this area is slow as a result of high costs, meanwhile, it is a long-term project based on the policies of land development. The paper presents also, the results of the unfinished land consolidation during 1983/1989 simultaneously with the results from voluntary land consolidation form, as a new form of land consolidation in Kosovo.
