LAND CONSOLIDATION IN BULGARIA Regional Workshop on “Land Consolidation and Territorial Organization” Several acts dealing with farm land consolidation have been passed in Bulgaria. The last one - Cadastre and Land Consolidation Act was passed in 1941. Land consolidation processes took place in a number of farm land areas in the North-West part of Bulgaria. After the cooperation, land consolidation process was stopped. However, for starting land consolidation now, after the restitution of farm land and the supervening multiple land divisions, it is necessary to execute land consolidation within some pilot areas. This can be considered as a first step for working out of regulations and norms about future draft low on land consolidation. Regional Workshop on “Land Consolidation and Territorial Organization” Aims of pilot projects • acquisition of practical experience; • establishment of an appropriate for our conditions technology; • preparation of the normative framework; • ensuring public support to the land consolidation and analyze of public opinion; • introduction of a modern system for use and protection of farm land, by means of consolidated farming and application of modern effective agricultural technologies; • incorporating deserted farm land; • activation of agricultural land market; • creation of an interest in investments in agriculture and credit relief; • creation of conditions for proper organisation of the land use in farms; • accounting and registration of farms. • Full of data base necessary for creation of cadastral map and property register. Regional Workshop on “Land Consolidation and Territorial Organization” Rules for designing on land consolidation plans • The existing ‘structure’ of the massifs will be respected • Total ‘value’ for each owner in LC plans must be equal to the present total • Consolidation of some parcels, owned by one owner is more important than moving one parcel, owned by other owner. • First wish of an owner who wants to consolidate his parcels in a massif, he is already in, is more important than the first wish of an owner who wants to consolidate his parcels in another massif (he does not posses any parcel there) Regional Workshop on “Land Consolidation and Territorial Organization” Criteria's for definition of TBSs • Agreement from land owners, including the municipality and the state, and users for consolidation of agricultural land • Available flat terrain • If it is possible equally land category • Not to have established irrigation systems or cultivated land in whole TBS to be included into the fund of irrigation area. • Not to have stipulated establishment of linear infrastructure objects in next 5 years Regional Workshop on “Land Consolidation and Territorial Organization” Stages of Pilot Projects 1. Collection, actualization and analysis of the source materials and data 2. Defining the final list of owners (participators) and evaluation of their properties 3. Public hearing 4. Design (first draft plan, second draft plan and final LC plan) 5. Setting out of property boundaries on the terrain 6. Registration of ownership Regional Workshop on “Land Consolidation and Territorial Organization” Pilot land consolidation projects in Bulgaria Two pilot land consolidation projects, covering five TBSs allocated in different geographical regions with specific agricultural characteristics.
