The present spatial arrangement of rural areas in southeastern Poland stems from socio-economic conditions that
originated, for instance, at the time of annexations and Socialist rule. Adverse phenomena in the structure of rural
areas, such as fragmentation of land, inhibit the development of farmsteads and lead to ineffective use of the
agricultural area, increased financial expenditure and limited options for using the latest technological
developments. The land consolidation procedure provides a comprehensive solution to the problem. The
procedure, inscribed in the sustainable development of rural areas, aims at optimising the spatial parameters of
farmsteads, creating a functional network of roads and reclaiming land, and constructing land improvement
structures. Due to limited financial and human resources, consolidation projects cover relatively small areas that
are disproportionate to considerable needs. Therefore, determining land consolidation urgency is essential in the
context of delimiting priority areas. This paper presents a ranking for the urgency of land consolidation in the
villages of the Brzyska commune, in the district of Jasło, Sub-Carpathian voivodeship. The villages were analysed
in detail for the presence of 15 features directly affecting the spatial structure quality of the study area. The
calculated values were standardised, and afterwards, using zero unitarisation, priorities were set for the analysed
villages in terms of their requirement for land consolidation.
