Land consolidation in Sweden
Backman, Mats and Tommy Osterberg
Rural development is closely related to the improvement of living conditions in rural areas regarding housing environment, infrastructure, communications, employment possibilities, land management etc. In this context the division of land into property units as well as the ownership conditions of real properties have a great influence on rural development from various point of views society, business and environment. In the county of Dalarna there is a unique fragmentation of real properties/parcels combined with very complex ownership conditions in large areas which causes essential disadvantages in agriculture, forestry and for the development of good living conditions in rural areas. The situation is a result of private subdivision of real properties during generations and inheritance pattern among the farmers.
