7 The tree of possibilities Forest owners have the choice Foreign use Abandonment of individual property Sale Common management and common land ownership Forest management by contracts Leasing Reallocation and consolidation of parcels (land consolidation) Partial structural improvement through voluntary land exchange Assignment of individual measures by service providers Self-management Common management of individual property only Self use Individual property 7

8 Trends in rural areas decreasing population especially the younger generations decreasing attractiveness, and lack of infrastructural development less active users in agricultural and forest sector increasing land speculations increasing use of renewable energies land use change / land use conflicts further land fragmentation caused by inheritance and sale 8

9 Legitimacy of land consolidation Other initiatives cannot overcome the ownership rights which are guaranteed by the basic law The Land Consolidation Act provides the legal framework and offers broad opportunities for participation The acceptance rate is positively influenced by high subsidies and a state administrative, people can rely on The changing demands of society were taken continuously by appropriate adjustments Improvement of regional economic opportunities Increasing of timber production within the meaning of the Forest Act 9

10 Land consolidation as an instrument and institution has a long tradition and wide acceptance is an offer to, and a demand of land owners and users is a very important policy tool (targeted subsidies for development) shifts from a classical instrument of agricultural policy, to structuring rural areas provides a platform for stakeholders 10

16 The forest land consolidation is typically intrinsically motivated improves principally the opportunities for forest use through amalgamation and, if necessary, road construction is a protected system, that offers active forest owners as well as those who want to back out, the chance to realign causes little effects that lead to a broadening of the resource base... is not the main task of the Department for Rural Development leaves behind satisfied participants is not able to conserve the situation for the future 16
