Abstract
Land consolidation has been extensively practiced worldwide with a long history. In Germany, land consolidation can go as far back as 1953 when the former Federal Republic of Germany issued its first Land Consolidation Act, which was revised and enriched twice in 1976 and in 1982 respectively. It is mainly focused on the consolidation and rearrangement of land patches, transformation of rural areas, development of construction land and land consolidation for large construction projects, consolidation of forestland and farmland for special crops, updating land related documentations, etc. Other countries like France, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea also carried out similar land consolidating activities, though under different names, e.g. Land Consolidation, Land Readjustment, Land Re-plotting, Land Pooling, etc.
