The creation of information system for the unfinished land consolidation of 1983/89 in Kosovo
Meha, Murat & Bashkim Idrizi
First preparations for land consolidation in Kosovo had started in 1979. Land consolidation program was one of the main activities in order to raise the production capacities in agricultural lands, that directly were related to the irrigation system which also was a system increasing. The implementation of land consolidation started in 1983 and continued up to 1989. During this period, 100 cadastral zones were involved in the territory of 8 municipalities of Kosovo. In 1989 the project was aborted without a definite finalization. Since year 2000, new circumstances for Kosovoos economical development enabled a special treatment to agricultural development. Important factors to agricultural development were treatment and analysis of the unfinished land consolidation during years 1983/89. The research of unfinished land consolidation condition, was done through ALUP project (Agriculture Land Utilization Project EU founded project), during 2006-2008. Through ALUP3 project, experts Niels O. Haldrup and Murat Meha researched and presented the actual condition of the unfinished land consolidation from terrain. Changes registered of the terrain condition and between the foreseen conditions were various. Completed researches for propertyys condition in land consolidation of 1983/39 project proved that: according to land consolidation none of the properties were registered in cadastral documentation, the property work is done according to consolidation maps and records, meanwhile the ownership remains with the old documentation before land consolidation; property exploitation is back again in the old state which means land consolidation is ruined. Property exploitation and its documentation are partially with land consolidation and partially with the state before land consolidation, the lack of information system for cadastral data from land consolidation. These researches have encouraged the Ministry of Agriculture in Kosovo to undertake safe steps for the improvement of conditions and for the clarification of juridical property reports of farmers for their lands in unfinished land consolidation. If land consolidation in Kosovo was developed during 1983/89, now approximately after 25 years should be done definitely anything for it to be applicable or to be removed entirely from the agenda.
