Improvement of scientific and methodological approaches to the classification of agricultural lands

Abstract: The existing scientific and methodological approaches to the classification of agricultural lands both in Ukraine and abroad are analysed. It is established that modern classifications of lands should be formed based on such principles as complexity, exhaustiveness, hierarchy and legality; meet the requirements of automated technologies for maintaining the state land cadastre and land monitoring; take into account the recommendations of the European Economic Commission at the UN. Comprehensiveness of identifying of all potentially possible land uses, which will facilitate effective state control over land use in accordance with their intended purpose will be ensured through a comprehensive approach to the development of land classification; its consistency with other current state classification systems in the field of nature management and the use of clearly defined target criteria, parameters and features, the system of which is determined by the specific scope and requirements of the relevant user groups – through a systematic approach. A fragment of 3-digit classification of agricultural lands is proposed, in which hierarchically placed interrelated indicators characterizing the legal regime of land use (legal block of land classifier) and their physical condition (physical block of land classifier) are placed hierarchically. In order to legally consolidate the categories “type, subtype, variety of lands” that form the basis of the physical block of the land classifier, it is necessary to make appropriate changes to the national land legislation.

Gis Tools in the Formation of Environmentally Friendly Use of Agricultural Landscapes

Abstract: SUMMARY The report presents the methodology for determining ecological and technological limitations in the use of agricultural landscapes using GIS tools and analyses it on the example of agricultural landscapes of the Vinnytsia Municipal Territorial Community (MTC). It is proved, that digital relief model generated with GIS tools can be used to plan and form environmentally friendly agricultural landscape use with high accuracy and efficiency.

Conceptual principles of formation of the system of rational agricultural land use

Abstract: The article analyses the current state of agricultural land use in Ukraine, which is characterized by extremely high levels of ploughing of agricultural lands, violation of scientifically substantiated crop rotation, and hence significant anthropogenic pressure on the soil, which in turn increases the intensification of degradation. The conceptual bases of formation of the system of rational agricultural land use in the conditions of transformation of land relations are substantiated. It is proved that such systems should be formed at the national, regional and local levels based on the principles of environmental friendliness, adaptability, biogenicity, variability, etc. using a landscape approach to the organization of agricultural enterprises. To ensure the conservation of soil resources and zero level of degradation processes, the main block of such systems, their basis should be soil protection and reclamation of the territory. Only land management should be considered as the main mechanism for the formation of a system of rational agricultural land use, and therefore the process of its formation at the national level should be carried out through the development and implementation of the National Land Use and Protection Program; at the regional level - through the development and implementation of regional land use and protection programs; at the local level – through the development and implementation of relevant land management projects.

Оптимізація структури сільськогосподарських угідь як основа сталого розвитку сільських територій

Abstract: The modern structure of agricultural lands, formed in the conditions of a radical reformation of land relations in rural areas, is analyzed. It is revealed that this structure in agricultural enterprises of different forms of ownership does not meet the principles of rational use of nature due to the excessive share of arable land and low - environmentally sustainable land. At the same time, the share of the arable land in the structure of agricultural land in the non-state agricultural enterprises is 11-12% higher than in the state-owned, which is explained by the efforts of private entrepreneurs – tenants aimed at increasing agricultural production by expanding the area of arable land. The extremely high level of plowing of agricultural land is a consequence of the extensive use of land resources and the main reason for the spread of degradation processes. The only solution to this problem is the development of land management projects that provide ecological and economic justification for crop rotation and land management. It is shown that the sustainable development of rural territories is not possible without improvement of the structure of sown areas, the main current disadvantage of which is the market-driven excessive share of highly profitable crops of the technical group and a very low share of forage crops, which can be the cause not only of the ecological but also of the socio-economic problems. Optimization of the structure of the sown areas of crops should be carried out on the basis of ecological-landscape land management in consideration with the soil and climatic conditions of specific rural territories and resource provision of agricultural enterprises. Key words: agricultural land, structure of cultivation ares, agrarian enterprises, organization of territory, crop rotation.

Approaches to the Creation of an Automated System of Monitoring and Management of Community Resources

Abstract: SUMMARY The feasibility of creating and systematizing approaches to creating a new type of automated monitoring system, a community resource management system aimed at integrating various types of data for the implementation of a wide range of analytical tasks in the context of monitoring and management, as well as rational use, assessment and protection of existing community resources within the framework of the developed corresponding program is justified.

Analysis of the current classifier of types of purpose of agricultural lands and proposals for its improvement

Abstract: The analysis of the current Classification of types of intended purposes of land use is carried out. It is established that the existing 2-level Classification does not meet the modern requirements for monitoring land relations and the norms of current land legislation. The structure and content of the 4-level Classifier of typesof intended purposes of land use are proposed, which allows to determine in detail the type of permitted land use. It is established that the current classifier does not distinguish between the form of management and the type of land use. This issue is especially evident in the example of agricultural land, in which case the types of intended purposes indicate the legal form of landowner or user, rather than regulating the direct use of land. The proposed 4-level classifier is able to distinguish between the form of management and the type of land use. In forming this Classifier, the principles of complexity, systematicity, exhaustiveness, hierarchy and legality are taken into account; requirements of automated technologies for maintaining the State Land Cadastre and remote methods of land monitoring are considered, comprehensive and systematic methodological approaches in compliance with current domestic land legislation and relevant bylawsare applied; principles of openness and manufacturability, as well as recommendations of international organizationsare taken into account.

The issue of the display of sensitive information in the state land cadastre and its publicity in the conditions military conflict

Abstract: The goal of the scientific work was to justify the need during the war in Ukraine to find a balance in the issue of limiting access to sensitive in terms of state and public security open data in the State Land Cadastre system to ensure the interests of national security and public interests. Information of interest to the aggressor should become inaccessible. This data selection should be made by the military and the Security Service and should not be publicly displayed. On the other hand – the rest of the information should be used by specialists in the field of geodesy and land management, construction and architecture, local self-government bodies with a certain number of persons with access to data. The author's proposal is also that access to data, including open data, should be regulated and authorized. So it is proposed to classify them at the legislative level in terms of levels of sensitivity, methods of use, access regulations, and to define lists of sensitive information and ways of displaying it. The need to change the attitude towards information resources as free resources and transfer information to the status of an intangible asset with licensed access (analogue – software) was noted, because the introduction of information into economic circulation will cause the growth of the economy. It is proposed that upon the end of martial law, the restrictions that were in force under these conditions should be reviewed, amendments to the legislation should be introduced into the regulations of the State Land Cadastre, and the composition, content, and distribution capacity of the cartographic base of the Public Cadastre Map should be updated.

Methodical approach to assessing the level of environmental safety of agricultural land use

Abstract: The article stipulates that in the course of agricultural activity land resources are, first of all, the property of nature, at the same time forming the internal component of the production process, as well as its generalizing aspects. In view of this, land resources are the main means of production in the agricultural sector and the physical basis for agricultural production, as well as an element of natural productive forces. The issues of assessing the level of ecological safety of agricultural land use are highlighted and a methodological approach is proposed, based on a comprehensive analysis of a set of criteria and indicators that most fully characterize environmental risks and threats to land use, taking into account the assimilation potential of agroecosystems. The proposed method of assessing the environmental safety of agricultural land use by ranking regions of the country by integrated index or individual criteria (indicators) allows to classify them by levels of land quality, degradation, anthropogenic impact and eco-destructive load on land. This will identify regions most vulnerable to adverse environmental impacts, which will primarily need assistance and prevention and elimination of environmental threats and risks in order to implement long-term and short-term plans for environmentally friendly agricultural land use at both state and local levels.

On the question of the development of rural areas in Ukraine

Abstract: The article explores the development of rural areas in Ukraine. In particular, the existing general problems of rural development were identified, the ways and prospects of their solution were outlined. It is determined that the key components of rural development are production (agricultural activities and other activities not related to agriculture), social (welfare, improving the quality of human capital in rural areas, preservation of traditions, moral and spiritual values), environmental conservation of natural resources of rural areas, environmentally friendly land use). It is substantiated that the interaction of these components will allow to form a social and economic environment for sustainable development of rural areas. The article states that the successful development of rural areas is to use an integrated approach to solving problems and conscientious fulfillment of obligations, which will increase the efficiency of community budgets and stabilize the social and economic situation of communities, regions and the country as a whole.

Environmental and technological limitations as an effective tool of land management rational use and protection of lands

Abstract: The key role of establishing and observing ecological and technological restrictions in the use of arable land for ensuring rational agricultural land use and preserving the land-resource potential of rural areas is proven. Methodical approaches to determining ecological and technological limitations in the use of agricultural land are analyzed. Fragments of the classifier of types of functional purpose of territories and types of functional purpose of territories and their correlation with types of purposeful purpose of land plots are given. The main characteristics of each level of ecological and technological restrictions related to soil cultivation and sowing of agricultural crops are highlighted. The need to establish ecological and technological restrictions on the use of land at the legislative level by introducing a corresponding addition to Article 111 of the Land Code of Ukraine and the possibility of their practical implementation on the basis of the classifier of types of functional purpose of territories developed by the authors was substantiated. It is emphasized the need to introduce changes and additions to Appendix 6 of the current State Land Cadastre Management Procedure regarding the implementation of ecological and technological restrictions in the use of land, which should be based on a 4-level classification in which certain ecological and technological restrictions are associated with the corresponding type of functional purpose cultivated agricultural areas.
