Abstract

Parcel concentration is implemented in smallholding areas
with the aim of decreasing costs of production and increasing
profitability of farms. In Spain, its origins date back to 1953 and
it is currently an instrument for territorial regulation in rural
areas. All previous reports for parcel concentration include a
prediction of costs for the necessary works, in order to estimate,
approximately, expenditures for Public Administrations and to
plan the execution of actions. In all of these, there is a reference
about the importance of orography in the cost of works,
fundamentally for the road network, which is the primary work.
The incidence of orography on the costs of parcel concentration
works is quantified based on information obtained from works
for parcel concentration already done in the province of Teruel,
together with data about orography in those areas, obtained
from a digital model for terrain lifting. In addition, a model
is obtained through the ordinary minimum squares regression
method, which explains the costs of works and which uses as an
explaining variable the average slope of the terrain.
