AB  - In order to balance the needs of ecology, environment, and agricultural 
      productivity with the aim of revitalizing rural areas, every local government 
      unit that plans to implement a land consolidation (LC) project should decide 
      where to start these projects as a priority. Traditionally, some of these 
      decisions are made by groups of people connected to the consolidated area, while 
      the others are made by groups of people from government departments, all trying 
      to make the best possible decision. However, one of the most important conditions 
      for the successful implementation of these projects, requiring large investment 
      costs is, determining the priority areas for LC projects and allocating the 
      investments to the appropriate areas meticulously. This study proposed a new 
      model for determining priority areas for LC projects. In this study, by 
      determining a set of criteria according to the parameters taken from 75 villages 
      (Malopolska region, Poland), a model was developed for prioritizing LC projects 
      using the Best-Worst Method (BWM), a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) 
      method. The proposed model enables the transparent identification and 
      prioritization of villages for land consolidation by national and local 
      authorities, effective management of resources, and equitable allocation of 
      financial assistance.
