The important part of the increase of regional potential is the farming of the land fund. The economic conditions for its utilisation have been already prepared. They are based especially on the drawing of funds of the European Union, namely for the period after the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union and for the years 2007-2013. The measures concerning the land are included in the prepared programme documentation, especially in the Horizontal Rural Development Plan (HRDP) and in the Operational Programme "Agriculture". The farmers will obtain the direct payment per area (SAPS) in addition to supports on foregoing measures. The requirements...

The ownership of land has always been the important precondition for lasting socio-economic situation and the development of the country. Despite that, there is a process of learning going on in practically all the new member countries, which are still learning that productive ability of the agriculture depends in a big degree on the stability of ownership of land and its tranquil farming. Despite many fundamental and substantial differences, we can say that hitherto development in land law was tremendous. But it also follows that significant social and economic divergences have not made full liberalisation of the land market possible without "yes, but".

Since 1998, the Central Land Office has been monitoring the basic cost and performance parameters of all regional land offices in the republic. Enormous financial resources have been invested in the execution of land consolidation in this six-year period, and land consolidation of relatively vast areas has also begun. The land consolidation scheme involved the implementation of major building and land surveying projects. The time series of financial and cost indicators make it possible to conduct performance analyses, compare productivity between the offices, and/or identify any negative influences on the land consolidation process and eliminate such...

Agric. Econ. - Czech, 2005, 51(10):469-474 | DOI: 10.17221/5139-AGRICECON  

This article deals with the possibilities of making usage of ICT (Information and communication technology) to support cooperation among teams. There are two main approaches: systems based on the www technologies (intranets), and specialised systems, which are dedicated to cooperation (these systems are designated as groupware). Web technologies are the main element of the Internet. They are becoming the most important technology in the presentation layer of current business information systems. The web environment penetrates into all currently used applications. Its integration with all existing systems makes the users locally independent and enables...
