Implementation of land consolidation is one of the most important strategies for dealing
with the problems of land fragmentation in Iran. The purpose of this research was to
examine consequences of land consolidation by rice producers of Savadkooh County in
Mazandaran province, north of Iran. Using a multi-stage random sampling, questionnaire
was completed in 112 subjects. The results showed that there is a significant difference
between variables: the number of land pieces, the average distance between pieces of
each other, the average size of every piece, the average distance of land pieces from
asphalt roads between farms and the average distance between the asphalt roads of rural
parts before and after land consolidation. Also there is a significant difference between
agronomic characteristics (paddy production, the amount of seed consumption, fertilizer
consumption, water consumption in hour, planting time, growing and harvesting time)
before and after land consolidation. The satisfaction of adopters from the land
consolidation activities is not desirable. However their attitude to the project was positive
at moderate to high.
