The research carried out in this paper connects land, as a non-renewable and necessary resource, with land consolidation, whose primary task is the arrangement of the land territory, with the aim of determining the extent to which land consolidation projects affect the land itself, as well as to assess the impact of land consolidation to sustainable development.The research is based on the analysis of changes in the quality of the soil, after the realization of land consolidation projects.The studies that were carried out showed that the level of underground water was significantly reduced after the realization of the land consolidation projects.The goal of the research is defined in accordance with the modern definition of land consolidation, according to which compaction tends more and more towards sustainable development and conservation of land.Therefore, in the paper, land consolidation is presented as a measure that resolves the conflict between short-term and long-term goals of spatial planning and land conservation.
