The Smart Healthy Citizen (SHC) program focuses on knowledge and practice of nutrition and 59 exercise as fundamental to people’s health. (...) Through education and technology solutions the program achieved a 14.5% reduction in BMI in 9 months. (...) It is a model that is now being adopted in Andalusia, Spain and should be easy to adapt for other cities. The success of the program is not the technology, but the multidisciplinary work, where doctors, teachers, mayors, merchants and associations, work together for a common cause: health and childhood.

Land Use Policy vol. 36 (2014), 330-341
Most CEE countries
have since 1990
introduced land
consolidation to
address the
structural problems
in agriculture
- On-going
development of
national land
consolidation
programs (2014)
3
The discussion on land consolidation in CEE has
often been limited to either simple / voluntary or
a compulsory / comprehensive approach
Simple / Voluntary LC:
• Few participating landowners
• Only re-parcelling
• No or limited facilitation of re- allotment planning
• Fast and relatively low costs
• Limited results
• Many LC pilots have used voluntary approach
Compulsory / comprehensive LC: • All landowners / parcels in the
project area participate when agreement by majority
• LC integrated with investments (e.g. irrigation, roads, land reclamation, village renewal etc.)
• Time consuming and costly
• CEE countries with LC program use this approach except Lithuania
FAO and others have recognized that there could be
a third model for land consolidation in CEE
Integrated Voluntary Land Consolidation
• Voluntary participation of landowners and farmers
• Involve all landowners in the process (interview all of them in initial stage and motivate them to participate)
• Integrate facilitated re-allotment planning with local measures for rural development
• Tailor-made solutions for each country based on local preconditions and land policy (but learning from the experiences of other countries)
• The model can be further developed
4
Land consolidation integrated with local
measures for rural development
• Prepare local community development plan through a
participatory process with local government and all local
stakeholders including landowners and farmers
• An outcome of the community planning can be a
prioritized catalogue of local development projects (e.g.
field and access roads, irrigation etc.)
• The experience is that it is not always easy to make it
work in practise and to secure national budget funding
for the projects additional to the re-allotment of parcels

Land mobility is crucial for results in a voluntary land consolidation approach
Ref.: Hartvigsen, M., 2014: Land Mobility in a Central and Eastern Land Consolidation Concext. (...) Key factors
determining land
mobility

High land mobility
Good potential for
voluntary land
consolidation
Tools to increase land mobility • Land banking is a key instrument but there are other tools.
• Land consolidation legislation to ensure simplified and cost-
effective land transactions (make it easy, fast and effective for
beneficiaries to participate).
• Financial support of land transaction costs in land
consolidation gives a strong incentive to participate.
• Resolving existing land registration problems for those who
participate in LC is a strong incentive for participation.
• Make sure to have enough time for the LC process (re-allotment
planning takes time and some will only decide to participate
when they see results).
• Allow transactions outside the core LC project area.
6
Integrated Voluntary Land Consolidation – Way forward
• It is the experience in CEE that countries often
cannot afford very comprehensive LC projects and
that politicians have no time for long projects
• It is also the experience that simple and voluntary LC
(scattered re-parceling initiated and agreed among
local stakeholders themselves) is often not enough
• The development of a third model with the best from
the two traditional models is on the way
• The model needs to be further developed in the years
to come based on the lessons learned so far in CEE

Arranz’ proposed application aims to incentivize users of Bicing, the community bicycle program in Barcelona, to deposit bicycles at underserved Bicing stations. (...) “The idea of the application,” says Arranz, “is to reduce CO2 emission and ‘gamify’ (turn into a game) this green transport system for sustainable cities.”
Easy Refuel , Dirceu Dirs (Brazil)
Second prize, $2000 and Nokia Lumia, was awarded to Dirceu Dirs from Brazil for an application targeting drivers of electric vehicles and petroleum-fueled cars alike. The “Easy Refuel” application was developed on the Arduino electronics platform and alerts drivers via text message when their vehicles are in need of a refuel, pointing them to the nearest, cheapest refueling stations.
