Abstract

The paper presents the changes in the spatial structure of agricultural holdings in the European Union between 2010 and 2016 from the perspective of typological groups of countries. The research was conducted based on Eurostat data. The holdings were divided into the following groups: up to 5 ha of agricultural land (AL), 5–20 ha, 20–50 ha, and over 50 ha. Based on the fuzzy classification method, 4 typological groups of countries with a similar spatial structure of holdings were distinguished. The intergroup diversity is high. The dynamics of changes in the number of holdings in particular countries per typological group was presented. A downward trend in the total number of holdings and smallholdings was observed, in particular in countries characterised by a fragmented structure of holdings. In these countries, an upward trend in the number of holdings of 20–50 ha and over 50 ha was noted. Between 2010 and 2016, the structure and composition of typological groups changed. There were also slight changes (in different directions) in the structural distance between the groups.

2010-2016年欧盟农业结构的变化(按国家类型分组

本文从国家类型类型群的角度，分析了2010 - 2016年欧盟农业控股空间结构的变化。这项研究是根据欧盟统计局的数据进行的。这些土地被分为以下几组:5公顷以下的农业用地、5 - 20公顷、20-50公顷和50公顷以上。基于模糊分类方法，将土地占有空间结构相似的国家划分为4个类型群。群体间多样性高。介绍了每个类型学组在特定国家的馆藏数量变化的动态。观察到农场和小农场的总数呈下降趋势，特别是在农场结构分散的国家。在这些国家，20-50公顷和50公顷以上的土地数量呈上升趋势。2010年至2016年间，类型群的结构和组成发生了变化。组间的结构距离也有轻微的变化(在不同的方向上)。
