[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],CENTRAL SUBJECT OF THIS PRESENTATION : Software EUROPOF, developed as a technological information application to be used in land management projects, namely in land consolidation

Introduction Agriculture Forest Dominant land use (>80% of the territory) SERIOUS STRUCTURAL PROBLEM ! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],LAND CONSOLIDATION

Introduction ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],In this context, land consolidation means a comprehensive reallocation procedure of a rural area consisting of fragmented agricultural or forest holdings or their parts. (Vitikainen, 2004)

Introduction ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES Regarding its development, land consolidation projects expanded into oversized in the workload and costs and overlong duration

Brief description of the land consolidation process in Portugal GENERAL CONCEPT : realization of a property reallocation through land exchanges to form consolidated plots that are better adapted to their use – i.e. larger and/or better shaped – which concentrates the ownership and/or farming units, implementing in addition other necessary functions (road and water management infrastructure, irrigation, environmental management and nature protection, landscaping, etc.) MAIN STAGES OF TRADITIONAL LAND CONSOLIDATION PROJECTS New reallocation !!!

Brief description of the land consolidation process in Portugal NEW REALLOCATION PLAN ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Involves proper specifications and processing capability for which the common technological tools (CAD / GIS software) can´t reply properly according to the demanded patterns Came up the need of developing a technological tool specificaly structured and conceived to fulfil this task requests EUROPOF

The role of EUROPOF in the land consolidation process ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],It’s a software conceived and developed by EUROTEAM to be used in the design of land spatial rearrangements, in particular for the reallocation definition in land consolidation projects. Main objectives / attributes: EUROPOF

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],With EUROPOF : The role of EUROPOF in the land consolidation process Why was EUROPOF created? IT’S THE BEST TOOL FOR THE JOB ! Conventional CAD software GIS software X EUROPOF

The role of EUROPOF in the land consolidation process EUROPOF functionality can be illustrated by an example of its use in a land consolidation project, in Portugal: Projecto de Emparcelamento Rural das Courelas do Campo de Coruche Conventional 5 months EUROPOF EUROPOF 3 weeks New situation 107 parcels 109 owners Old situation: 304 parcels 112 owners Area 500 ha

The role of EUROPOF in the land consolidation process Efficiency gains with this application : Relevant impacts on the global cost ! ,[object Object],[object Object],EUROPOF

General description of EUROPOF FROM THE USERS POINT OF VIEW the simplicity of the interface is related with the easiness to operate. The user can easily design and allocate the new plots just using the computer mouse to “drag and drop” the owners parameters in question: the new plot allocation can be made according to... ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],EUROPOF

General description of EUROPOF Other functionalities to highlight : ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],EUROPOF

Conclusions MAIN CONCLUSION : The use of EUROPOF proves to be an effective way to reduce time and costs in the land consolidation projects, so that the proceedings became simplified, cost-effective and shorter in duration

Conclusions Attributes to standout: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Efficiency gains of 25 to 30% in the land consolidation procedure !

Conclusions EUROPOF was already used in several land consolidation projects in Portugal... ...covering more than 16.000 ha. The promoters are mainly administrative authorities, municipalities and farmers associations. ...can easily be used in diferent kinds of spatial rearrangment projects.
