Rounding off

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under rounding ( French arrondir , round '), German also rounded , is meant, among other things the inclusion of adjoining land to a particular land or territory (state border, etc.).

purpose

A rounding can serve to improve the borderline, the better use of already existing infrastructure (development, paths, sewerage etc.) or in principle increase the value of the original property through the larger area. The term is used in particular in the area of building law , building planning , land consolidation , land improvement , urban planning and in relation to hunting grounds . Rounding can also take place without a change of ownership through voluntary exchange of use .

A rounding off is usually associated with a new demarcation and corresponding changes in the land register , but it can also be carried out by combining several properties without changing the boundaries or land register entries in the hands of one owner.

Uses in a broader sense

The term consolidation is also used, detached from real estate, in a broader sense for the border straightening of larger territories , especially in connection with the consolidation of territorial rule by sovereigns in the course of the early modern period . It is also found in terms of demarcating the front line . For example, in his speech to the commanders-in-chief on May 23, 1939 , Adolf Hitler described the "rounding off the living space in the east " as the real goal of the upcoming campaign .

Arrondissement is the name given to certain administrative districts in France, Belgium, Canada and other countries, including the 20 districts of the core city of Paris .
