As part of land consolidation, "common facilities" are designed and implemented, in this context are proposed measures to protect soil and water, to improve the ecological stability of the landscape and field roads that increase the permeability of area. Land consolidations are increasingly focused not only on the rational use of the land fund, but mainly on proposals for multifunctional measures, ensuring consistency between farmers, residents and visitors in the area. To popularize the hard work of designers, land offices and construction contractors, a competition for the best common facility called Living the Landscape is held every year. Through it, the implemented measures are evaluated and their polyfunctionality and contribution to the improvement of the landscape are appreciated. Just in the year 2020, 271 buildings were built as part of land consolidation, of which ecological (greenery) in the number of 33, water management in the number of 62, anti-erosion in the number of 18 and the most represented were field roads by the number of 158. The aim of the paper is to present several common facilities appreciated in previous years of competition, their purpose and importance for increasing the recreational potential of the area and its attractiveness.
