There are a need for a new kind of planning for the rural areas, which integrates use, protection and
production. Landscape Futures (Fremtidens landskaber) are developing a new type of planning, and try to
conceptualize a new way of planning for the rural areas, called lokale områdeplaner.
The scope of this project is to investigate whether land consolidation will work as a tool to help realize this
type of planning, and furthermore give advice on how land consolidation can be a part of the planning
process. The project uses a case from Nordmors, where there have been conducted a survey amongst the
larger agricultural holdings in the area, so that their attitude towards the area, the planning and land
consolidation could be clarified.
