Abstract: Land consolidation (LC) as a power tool for land management is, in fact, a project of high complexity level. The high complexity of projects is a potential source of its failure. The complexity of land consolidation pro­jects (LCP) is a consequence of the huge number of stakeholders, sensitiv­ity of land ownership, and legal rights of land owners. The huge number of stakeholders causes a huge number of uncertainties because one stake­holder could have numerous interests and could not make the best decision in the situation of a sensitive relationship between different nuances in cer­tain circumstances. Lack of reliable information could also be a source of risk for issues in the land consolidation project realization as well as the peri­od of its realization. The duration of land consolidation project realization is another important factor that could cause problems or even failure.
