Modern problems of land management in context land protection | Author : I. Novakovska | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In January of this year, the Government approved the Concept of the National Targeted Program for the Use and Protection of Land. Prerequisites have been created for the development and implementation of updated provisions on land management of rural areas, agricultural enterprises and households with the aim of organizing special protection of land as the main national wealth.
The article presents an analysis of the main types of project-research works on land management that have been carried out since Ukraine gained independence. The special effect of anti-erosion and moisture-saving measures, which were achieved when the contour-ameliorative system of territory organization was introduced, was emphasized. The changes and features of land management with the cessation of quantitative and qualitative land accounting and the expansion of the composition of land management documentation at the expense of urban planning projects are considered. The structure of the land fund related to the implementation of the Concept of the Land Use and Protection Program and the development of land management documentation according to the stages of its implementation is characterized. The need to expand the constituent parts of land management schemes of territorial communities and to improve land monitoring. It was proposed to transfer the Institute of Soil Protection to the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine, and its main tasks were defined, In connection with the above |

| Environmental and technological limitations as an effective tool of land management rational use and protection of lands | Author : Y. Dorosh, ?. Barvinskyi, I. Kupriyanchik, L. Svyrydova | Abstract | Full Text | 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. |
| Justification of the need to supplement the list of limitations regarding the use of lands and land plots by environmental and technological limitations | Author : Y. Dorosh, O. Dorosh, M. Stetsiuk, R. Kharytonenko | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The need for improvement and adaptation of the existing norms for land protection, rational use of land plots with the legislative norms of the European Union has been identified. The work of scientists, current land legislation, other legal acts related to ecological and technological restrictions have been studied. It was established that the existing "List of restrictions on the use of land and land plots" approved by resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1051 and No. 821 does not provide for a complete list of restrictions on the use of agricultural land, in particular ecological and technological restrictions.
Also, the main restrictions on the use of land, provided by ecological and technological groups on arable land based on the steepness of the slopes, were considered. It was noted that the current legislative norms of the Code of Ukraine on administrative offenses in the field of nature protection and use of natural resources provide for liability for violations of land use rules. It is emphasized that in the absence of ecological and technological restrictions in the information of the State Land Cadastre, landowners and land users neglect the norms of ecological and technological restrictions in conducting economic activities on arable land, and it is established that there are no mechanisms for holding them accountable in case of their violation. Proposals are presented in addition to resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1051 and No. 821 in the "List of restrictions on the use of land and land plots" with ecological and technological restrictions on arable land. |
| On the question of the rules for the development of working projects by the land development regarding the protection of lands from acidification (liming of acid soils) | Author : A. Koshel, I. Kolhanova | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :As a result of intensified agriculture, excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers in the race to increase yields, there is a rapid increase in the acid reaction of soils on part of the arable lands of Ukraine.
An increase in soil acidity leads to suppression of microbiological activity in the arable layer of the soil, accumulation of mobile forms of nutrients harmful to plants, damage to plants by diseases, assimilation of radionuclides and heavy metals by plants, accumulation of nitrates in them. Due to suppression of the root system by free aluminum, the winter resistance and drought resistance of grain crops decreases, the weeding of the fields increases (most weeds can withstand the acidic reaction of the soil solution), while acidity has a negative effect on all soil biota.
The problem is gaining special importance and requires urgent state intervention.
Liming is the most economically available method of improving soil acidity. Lime can be used both to maintain the desired level of soil acidity and to restore the pH to the appropriate level. Deacidification of the soil by only one value (pH from 5.0 to 6.0) contributes to an increase in productivity by up to 50%.
In this study, theoretical and methodological approaches to the development of working land management projects for the protection of lands from acidification (liming of acidic soils) are proposed. |
| Criteria for performing a strategic environmental assessment of the measures proposed in the land management documentation | Author : O. Dorosh, R. Derkulskyi, A. Dorosh | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article emphasizes that according to the provisions of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, the legislation of Ukraine is gradually approaching the law and policy of the EU in the field of environmental protection, since Ukraine has undertaken to implement the provisions of Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 27.06.2001 on environmental impact assessment of individual projects and programs.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the definition of criteria for assessing the consequences of the implementation of project solutions of land management documentation for the environment, including the possible negative impact on human health, in the process of strategic environmental assessment should take into account the purpose of land management in terms of land protection, the creation of ecologically sustainable agricultural landscapes, forecasting , planning and organization of the rational use and protection of land at the appropriate levels of land management, development and implementation of a system of land management measures to preserve natural landscapes, restore and increase soil fertility, reclamation of disturbed lands and reclamation of unproductive lands, protection of lands from erosion, flooding, drying, landslides , secondary salinization, acidification, waterlogging, compaction, pollution with industrial waste and chemical substances, etc., conservation of degraded and unproductive lands, prevention of other negative phenomena. |
| Environmental criteria and indicators for assessing the optimality of the parameters of the agricultural land use system | Author : Y. Dorosh, ?. Barvinskyi, ?. Dorosh, ?. Zastulka, V. Smolenskyi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article analyzes the current state of the regulatory framework in the field of land use and protection, which is the basis for assessing the optimality of the ecological parameters of the agricultural land use system. It was established that the vast majority of standards (optimal parameters) in the researched field are of a recommendatory nature, and therefore need to be systematized and consolidated in the relevant legal acts.
The need for the structuring of ecological criteria and indicators for assessing the optimality of the parameters of the agricultural land use system, taking into account the norms of the Law of Ukraine "On Land Protection" regarding regulations in the field of land protection and reproduction of soil fertility, is substantiated. Taking into account the Law of Ukraine "On Land Protection", the division of criteria and indicators for assessing the ratio of land plots is given; criteria and indicators for assessing man-made soil pollution; criteria and indicators of soil quality assessment; criteria and indicators of land and soil degradation assessment.
The optimal parameters of the ratio of land areas and the norms of assessments of the ecological state of lands caused by man-made pollution are highlighted. Optimum parameters of the volume mass of soils are indicated on the example of sod-podzolic sandy soil. Optimum parameters of the qualitative state of soils and diagnostic criteria and indicators of agrophysical and agrochemical degradation of soils are indicated. |
| Indicators of sustainable development of safety land use and assessment of degradation processes development of soil cover using gis models | Author : V. Bogdanets, V. Nosenko | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article describes some of the UN-adopted indicators of sustainable development of land use safety associated with the development of soil degradation processes, approaches to assessing the development of soil degradation using mathematical modeling tools, namely geoinformation models.
Indicator 15.3.1 of sustainable development goals reflects the ratio of the area of degraded land to the total land area of the assessed area, and degradation is considered as an integral indicator of such parameters as land productivity, soil organic matter content and type of land use. It is established that when using remote sensing data obtained from open sources, which serve as a basis for calculating land degradation indices by the Trends.Earth tool via QGIS software, it is possible to establish such changes at the administrative level (map scale 1: 100000) and spatio-temporal analysis of such changes.
At the same time, it is difficult to ensure higher spatial resolution, which would allow the analysis at the level of an individual farm or an enterprise. This is due to the spatial resolution of the data that form the basis for such a calculation. In the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine, the predominant type of land use is agricultural activity with land plowing. Some farms practice minimizing tillage, which, in particular, should affect the value of the indicator of land degradation.
With some convention of such an approach, the indicator allows to display in the map space the data of changes in the condition of the land, the loss of soil organic carbon according to remote sensing data and the nature of soil degradation for the selected time interval. Due to difficult economic conditions, part of the lands for the period 2001-2019. was not used in agricultural production, some fields were overgrown with woody vegetation and were not actively cultivated, which was reflected in the indicators of indicator 15.3.1. At the same time, most of the lands (over 66%) did not undergo positive or negative changes during the studied period.
The use of indicators of soil condition, monitoring of the development of degradation processes based on operational data and the possibility of their comparison for different time intervals plays a particularly important role in the context of the impact of global climate changes on the soil cover, prospects for agricultural production and, in general, on the quality of life of people. |
| Tenancy and agricultural land use in Ukraine | Author : O. Drebot, S. Voytenko, A. Kudryk, T. Kotkova, O. Lukyanenko, O. Savchuk | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The relevance of the research is due to the needs of planning of agricultural territories and the lack of comprehensive planning and mapping materials both within individual village head districts and on the territory of communities. Also, the conducted research is the basis for the formation of a land bank of specific land owners and land users; obtaining information about the location of land plots, their owner, tenant, area and monetary value. The purpose of the conducted work is visualisation of borders of land shares and study of the comprehensive information on use of share areas. During the research, methods of mapping of territories were used, using analogue and digital mapping materials. Desktop land surveyor software was used to create and process digital data. The limits of all generated cartographic objects have coordinates of turning points, which establishes the work with real spatial objects of the terrain. Research methodology involves a combination of all existing data on land plots, contained in the Ukrainian land cadastre base, as well as non-digital materials to establish the location of land plots, information about which is absent in the cadastre. As a result of research there were formed land plots in vector format within nine village head districts of Radomyshl community, as well as semantic information to each of them. Database, formed as a result of formation of semantic information of each land plot, contains data on the owner, purpose, area, tenant and monetary value. A thematic map of tenants within districts has been created. One of them is presented in the article as an example. The results of the created thematic maps of tenancies within the largest part of the community have been analysed. It was found that 60 % of the land share area has lease agreements. Limited liability companies prevail among the lessees (43 %). A much smaller area is rented by private enterprises (15 %) and farms (9 %). Not a single land parcel (share) is used by the owner. Despite the large rental area, the number of tenants is not significant. In total, there are 18 limited liability companies, 4 private enterprises and 9 farms. There are also private leases by citizens who are not owners of shares. The research presents data on the agricultural development of the study area and monetary value of the land shares. It was found that the actual ploughing is over 90 %, which is a significant indicator compared to other communities of Zhytomyr. Moreover, the area of reserve lands constitutes almost 1 thousand ha, which is 3 % of the total surveyed area. The largest area of reserve lands within the district is about 300 ha. On average, this figure is close to 100 ha. There are exceptions, districts, where there are no reserve lands at all. Within the study area, there is one district without reserve lands and one district with a comparatively small area (36 ha). The monetary value of land is low. The lowest monetary value of 1 hectare is 85 EUR, the highest - approximately 700 EUR. The average monetary value of the land is in the range of 300 EUR. The results obtained constitute a potential platform for the formation of fields; exchange of land plots to avoid "checkerwork" in the land use process; entering into lease agreements for the shares that are not legally used; arranging territories, which data are not available in the cadastre.
In addition, the studies carried out are an integral part of community-wide surveys. There are also plans to extend them to a larger area to draw conclusions about the tenancy system within the Polissia region of Zhytomyr Oblast. |
| Map scheme of the housing fund of the Zhytomyr region: qualitative and quantitative analysis | Author : I. Karas, T. Kotkova, A. Pitsil, S. Voitenko, O. Lukhianenko | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The housing fund, as a concept, is a complex of interrelated indicators characterizing its condition. First of all, it is the availability of housing, that is, the amount of living space per person of the population. This also includes the total living area, the number of houses and apartments, and the equipment of the housing stock by types of terrain.
It is known that Ukraine has almost the lowest rate of housing security among European countries. It is about 29 m2/person. While other countries have much higher housing affordability, ranging from 31,2m2/person (Estonia) to 66,3m2/person (Luxembourg). The reasons for this state of affairs in our country are the inefficient use of land within categories, the inaccessibility of housing for many segments of the population, the lack of state programs for financing construction and lending housing, low wages, etc.
The goal of our research was to study the housing stock of the Zhytomyr region with further analysis of its condition.
Based on the results of the research, maps of the provision of housing for the urban and rural population in the sections of Zhytomyr regiont were constructed. The largest amount of living space per person was observed in Brusylivskiy, Ruzhynskiy, Popilnyanskiy and Narodytskiy districts (30–40 m2). Moreover, security in rural areas is somewhat higher than in urban areas. In our opinion, the reason for this is the lower population concentration in small settlements. Therefore, population size as a factor influencing the condition of the housing stock of Zhytomyr region is one of the main, but not the only factors.
It was also established that over the past 15 years, the average housing supply in the region increased from 23,3 m2 to 28,3 m2 per person, while the number of apartments and houses actually remained at the same level (968,1 thousand in 2005 and 974,4 thousand in 2020), and the population has decreased significantly. Therefore, the reason for the increase in the housing supply indicator is not the improvement of the quantitative and qualitative condition of the housing stock of the Zhytomyr region, but rather the decrease in the number of residents.
Along with the quantitative analysis, a qualitative analysis of the housing stock was also conducted. It has been established that housing equipment with plumbing, sewage, and hot water has increased by almost 50% over the past fifteen years, especially in rural areas. And in general, the qualitative characteristics of the housing stock in the Zhytomyr region are somewhat inferior to similar ones in Ukraine. |
| Main conceptual provisions of the creation of an electronic state register of immovable cultural heritage of Ukraine. Part 2: processes | Author : V. Chabaniuk, O. Dyshlyk, K. Polyvach, V. Pioro, I. Kolimasov, J. Nechyporenko | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Part 2 describes the processes of activities for the creation of a new modern electronic State Register of Immovable Cultural Heritage (CH) of Ukraine. They are part of the methodology based on AGIS-CH1 Solutions Framework (SoFr), where AGIS-CH1 represents the first queue of the hierarchically structured Atlas GeoInformation System (AGIS). AGIS-CH generally consists of four strata: Operational (w), Application (a), Conceptual (b) and General (g). The processes in the article refer to AGIS1 aSoFr, which determines the activities "between" AGIS1 subsystems of the Application and Operational strata. The processes related to bSoFr AGIS-CH1, which determines the activities "between" AGIS-CH1 subsystems of the Conceptual and Application strata, are also mentioned.
AGIS-CH1 SoFr is defined by packages and relations between them of Publications-Products-Processes-Basics-Services "petrad". Packages Products-Processes-Basics and the relations between them are called the main triad of SoFr. This triad is the basis of the main conceptual provisions 1-3. They are formulated as follows: AGIS-CH1 SoFr.Products – provision 1, AGIS-CH1 SoFr.Processes – provision 2, AGIS-CH1 SoFr.Basics – provision 3.
Part 2 describes AGIS-CH1 SoFr.Processes – development and quality assurance processes of AGIS-CH1, which corresponds to the Main Conceptual Provision 2. |
