Sustainability of agricultural land use is determined by economic and environmental characteristics of land resources. The method for land use assessing, which enables to determine the type of its environmental and economic status (EES), was developed.

Efficient land use plays an important role in the context of sustainable agricultural development. Assuming that it will be viable only in cases when individuals employed in agriculture can ensure themselves an income equivalent and not less than the average wage in the national economy. Certain sizes of agricultural area, which are different for every key agricultural sector, are required to achieve it.

The concept of land consolidation is new in Latvia. Its main tasks are to eliminate land fragmentation and to facilitate farms of optimal size. One of the most important preconditions of land consolidation is forming of optimal size farmland plots in property and use, and land fragmentation, which has a major impact on both the operating conditions and other rural development processes. Land fragmentation affects not only land management, but it also increases transport costs.

This study is carried out to determine land use changes by Geographic Information Systems and Remote sensing methods in Yenimahalle district of Ankara province. Changes in land use were identified between 2000-2005 and 2000-2010. For the study Landsat-5 image of year 2000, Ikonos image of year 2005, and SPOT image of year 2010 were used. 1:25000 scale topo maps and soil maps, and CORINE land use data were also used. GPS data collected from field were used for ground truth studies.

In the frame of Agricultural Reform Implementation Project (ARIP) financed by World Bank, a regulation numbered 5495 and concerning the planning of the hazelnut production and determining of planting areas and supporting the farmers who make a choice of alternative crop farming instead of hazelnut farming was put in to practice in 2003.

Study was conducted in north-eastern Latvia (57° 38’ N, 22° 17’ E): in a part of Slitere National Park that was un-managed since year 1923 and affected by large storm in November of 1969. Supervised classification of Corona and Landsat 5 images of the area (in total 1646 ha) from years before and after the storm (1966–2010) were carried out and parameters characterizing the fragmentation calculated for 3 land-cover classes: forest, areas with low woody biomass and non-forest areas.
