Translated version
Valakas reform
A land reform carried out in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the mid-16th century, by which peasants' land was measured and divided into standard plots – valakas. This allowed for more efficient tax collection, consolidated serfdom, and radically changed the Lithuanian landscape, forming the three-field system still visible today.
Original version
Valakų reforma
XVI a. viduryje LDK įvykdyta žemės reforma, kuria valstiečių žemė buvo išmatuota ir padalyta standartiniais sklypais – valakais. Tai leido efektyviau rinkti mokesčius, įtvirtino baudžiavą ir radikaliai pakeitė Lietuvos kraštovaizdį, suformuodama iki šiol matomą trilaukę sistemą.
