An overview and new developments in the field of land consolidation are described in the paper and its implementation in practice, with the focus on the European countries, where rural development by land consolidation is broadly used. Land consolidation is implemented in all countries from a similar reason: the need for readjusting unfavourable land division and promoting the appropriate use of the real property without changing the status of ownership. In the late 20th century land consolidation has transformed into a comprehensive rural development instrument with multi-purpose objectives, which can additionally be used for improving the infrastructure, enhancing landscape and nature protection, and implementing various recreation area projects. The objectives and procedures of land consolidation are different in dependence of each country due to the influence of the historical trends, culture, tradition and legislation in each of the countries. However, some well-proven solutions and features of the land consolidation process have developed similarly in all of Europe. Some of the similarities and differences in the land consolidation procedures in various European countries are described in the paper especially regarding the organisation,objectives, legal procedure, costs and financing, and the development prospects of land consolidation.
