Tilusjärjestelyjä

Tilusjärjestelyjä refers to land consolidation or land readjustment in Finland. It is a process where scattered or fragmented landholdings are reorganized to create more rational and economically viable units. This typically involves exchanging land between different owners, or between owners and the state, to achieve larger, more contiguous parcels.

The primary goals of tilusjärjestelyjä are to improve land use efficiency, facilitate agricultural modernization, and enhance the overall productivity of rural areas. By consolidating fragmented plots, farmers can reduce travel time between fields, optimize machinery use, and implement more effective cultivation practices. It can also simplify land management and reduce administrative burdens.

Tilusjärjestelyjä can be initiated by landowners themselves or by local authorities. The process involves detailed planning, negotiations between parties, and legal procedures to formalize the land exchanges. Compensation may be provided if the value of exchanged land differs. While often beneficial for agriculture, these arrangements can also impact forestry and other land-based activities. The implementation of tilusjärjestelyjä is regulated by Finnish land use legislation, ensuring a structured and fair process for all stakeholders involved.
