Abstract

Applying restrictions to the division of agricultural land parcels can potentially pre- vent fragmentation and ensure the efficient use of land. To achieve effective regula- tion, indicators that are justified as targets in evaluating the appropriate dimensions of the plots covered by the legislation need to be defined. This article examines the issues involved in determining the size of land plots that are subject to restrictions, based on criteria of efficiency and the necessity to ensure the viability of farms in accordance with the goals set for their regulation. To evaluate the size of the areas, the minimum level of the reference income indicator has been used for determining the viability of the farm. Formulas are given for calculating guidelines for the size of the subdivided land areas using the average level of wages in the agricultural sector and the amount of income necessary to meet minimum needs as the basis for the reference income. The relevant target indicators have been calculated using those formulas.
