Abstract
Roads are the main element of the technical infrastructure necessary for the daily operation of agricultural farms. Farm roads are not only structural elements which enable transportation between local economic centres and agricultural fields, but they are also important in shaping the spatial organization of farmland and the rural landscape. This article presents an evaluation of the agricultural road network in the village of Kamianki in the Grodzisk district, which underwent land consolidation from 2007 to 2008. An inventory of the study area was conducted, and the following were determined: the distances between agricultural land and residential dwellings, the road density index, the road extension index, and the road network density as indicated by the centrographic method. The analysis and presentation of the results was done using the ArcGIS ESRI geographical information system.
