Abstract
The article notes that in rural areas, re-development is necessary to ensure the sustainable development of specific area. The authors believe that it is possible to improve the farm structure by enlarging them by combining small business entities or providing another land plot in exchange. Such works will result in achievement of the desired structural change, only if it is implemented systematically and becomes a permanent element of long-term rural administration policy. Measures related to the consolidation and equivalent exchange of land plots should be introduced comprehensively and unambiguously in combination with subsequent development of such territories. Only then can the intended goal be fully achieved, that is, improvement of their spatial structure. Taking into account the limited funds, it is necessary to develop a strategy in order to identify the regions for community, districts or voivodships in which such activities should be carried out on a priority basis. Determination of lands for unification must be well thought, rational and, above all, it is necessary that the effect of such work brings measurable results for the country's agricultural policy. The survey ranked 32 characteristics which are specific to each village using the zero unitarization method and Hellwig method. The results of surveys carried out in 41 settlements of the Zharnovskaya community with a total area of 14 106.91 hectares, divided into 22 638 cadastral plots, are presented. The study area is located in central Poland.

Summary
The area structure of present-day villages in Poland has been shaped by the long-term settlement activity of society. Human settlement contributed to the emergence of various forms of land use for manufacturing, transportation and building development, creating small farms that are scattered over an extensive area and are irregularly shaped. Agriculture in central Poland is characterised by excessive fragmentation of land with scattered plots of unfavourable shapes. These elements are obstacles to profitable agricultural production. Land situated in the eastern [20], [23] and south-eastern [17], [22], [7] part of Poland features a high level of defectiveness, which has a negative effect on building a fullfeatured real property cadastre [14], [15], [3]
