One of the main issue is cadastral data homogenisation Big difference between graphic and field situation 8
New situation after Land Consolidation Parcels are with regular geometric form, Increase of parcels area respectively decrease number of parcels New roads system, New Cadastral model IPRR 9
WHAT LESSONS WE LEARNED FROM LAST LC? Some outcomes from LC in Kosova Cadastral zone Owners Nr of parcels before LC Nr of parcels after LC Area (m 2 ) Pirana - Prizren 168 377 192 128 55 24 Krusha e Vogel - 263 950 291 337 46 30 Prizren Vilance- Vushtrri 79 286 155 91 39 19 Kramovik- Rahovec 46 274 199 127 98 12 Çifllak - Rahovec 96 792 287 132 87 26 10
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE NOW FOR LC? New conditions are that Channel of Ibri river long 142 km, Area under irrigation is 7 000 ha, can be more than 20 000 ha Channel of Radoniqi lake long 23 km, Area which is on irrigation 8814 ha are: in Rahoveci municipality 2969 ha, in Gjakova municipality 5053 ha, in Prizreni municipality 792 ha. 11

SUMMARY Quality rise of agriculture and ecological productions Creation of new cadastral model within IPRR Grouping of owners parcels, Growth of parcels area, New infrastructure system of roads Land fund rise from regulated boundaries, Regulation of rivers etc LC based on Principals of modern Land consolidation Remove of different obstacles and terrain flattening as necessity, Creation of opportunity for irrigation system Rise of villagers for land value in the new conditions after the land consolidation. 17
