Re-allocation aspects in land consolidation: A new model and its application

Abstract

It is presented, in this study, a mathematical optimization model suitable for designing the new reallotment plans in LC and its application to a hypothetical area about 26.371 ha comprising 6 holdings. The most important feature of the model is a cost factor which into account the parameters of road time index, ratio of area, landowner preferences and fixed installations in optimization process. It is seen that its results will be useful and acceptable by the farmers. © 2007 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
