Analysis of the efficiency of the use of land resources within the boundaries of the Kodym territorial community of the Podil district of the Odessa region | Author : M. Serbov, G. Liashenko, N. Danilova, O. Volvach, P. Nikitin | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Agricultural lands, as the most important element of national wealth and living conditions of society, within the Kodyma TG occupy 67.01% of the total area, which fully satisfies the needs of agricultural production of the community. However, the associated high degree of plowing leads to large-scale erosion processes and disrupts the general ecological balance in the area. The main way to preserve the ecological balance of the territory should be the transformation of plowed, degraded and low-productive arable lands into pastures, hayfields and afforestation of eroded slopes. Such transformation is also one of the ways to increase the area of forest land. Calculations were made of such indicators as agricultural development of the territory, plowing of the territory and plowing of agricultural lands. It was established that the area of agricultural lands occupies 65.4% of the territory of the Kodyma TG, and the TG belongs to the second group in terms of the degree of agricultural development. Agricultural lands have a fairly high level of plowing - 82.9% and are environmentally unstable. According to the results of calculations, it was found that the indicators of ecological stability of land use and the level of anthropogenic load are 0.4 and 3.89, respectively, and correspond to the assessment of the territory as weakly stable, with an increased level of anthropogenic load. |

| Public-private partnership: opportunities for Ukraine | Author : O. Sakal, H. Shtohryn, M. Ilina, Y. Shpylova, N. Tretiak, I. Denisenko, H. Byrkiv | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The urgent necessity to reform the state sector of economy, to recover infrastructural objects, to attract foreign investments to Ukrainian economy, and to establish socially focused economy substantiates the great importance of development of the partnership relations between the public and private individuals (public-private partnership). Efficiency of such relations mainly depends on efficiency of legal regulation and development of organizational-economic structure. According to the law of Ukraine “About state-private partnership”, which principally regulates that kind of cooperation, the appropriate mechanism expects cooperation between the public, territorial (state partners) and legal (except for the state and communal enterprises) or private individuals, i.e. entrepreneurs (private partners). Focus of the mechanism on cooperation with territorial communities actualizes it because of a fast move of the power decentralization reform in Ukraine. At the level of a separate territorial community, practical application of any form of PPP requires from the representatives of local power to master legal, economic, social-communicative skills for initiation of the partnership (introduction of proposals and analysis of efficiency of the proposed projects), choice of private partners (one or several) and making agreements with them. Within such partnership, bodies of the state power or local self-government transfer a share of their authorities to a private partner (single or a group of them). Thus, private partnership (an individual or an enterprise) is responsible for implementation of the project, which aims at solution of some social-economic or ecological problems of the territorial community. |
| Land management of reclaimed lands current status and development prospects | Author : Y. Dorosh, O. Sakal, R. Kharytonenko, R. Derkulskyi | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In the context of sustainable development, climate change, and post-war recovery, this study addresses the challenges of land management for reclaimed (ameliorated) lands in Ukraine. It is substantiated that land reclamation, aligned with the concept of sustainable development, integrates economic, social, and environmental aspects over the long term for the benefit of current and future generations in agricultural land use. Effective approaches to integrated water and land resource management are examined, with an emphasis on employing modern land-monitoring technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. Open data on the status of reclaimed lands in Ukraine, including irrigation and drainage infrastructure, as well as their registration in accordance with existing legislation, are systematized.
Improvements in legal norms on land management for reclaimed lands are proposed, taking into account the need to adapt reclamation systems to climate change. The importance of specialized land management projects is highlighted, as they account for the specific characteristics of reclaimed lands. Such projects will foster the practical implementation of integrated land and water resource management, ensuring land restoration and productivity gains, and contributing to the socio-economic and environmental objectives of agricultural land use.
Particular attention is given to integrated land and water resource management aimed at restoring reclaimed areas in the post-war period by engaging local communities, investors, and government agencies. Implementing the proposed measures, aimed at climate change adaptation and mitigating its adverse effects, will also help combat land degradation and desertification, thereby expanding the acreage of productive agricultural land. |
| Conceptual model of land use administration in warfare: challenges, solutions and prospects for recovery | Author : A. Dorosh, O. Svyrydov | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article examines key aspects of land use administration in conditions of military operations and the challenges facing local governments, state and military structures in terms of land resource management, as well as the prospects for land restoration after the end of hostilities. A conceptual model that encompasses legal, informational and organizational mechanisms for ensuring effective land management, protecting the rights of land owners, planning for territorial development, protectionism of individual territories to protect strategically important or vulnerable territories from uncontrolled use of resources, destruction or other threats aimed at protecting individual regions or territories from external influences, controlling strategically important territories and restoring land potential after the end of the conflict is proposed. The paper focuses on the importance of integrating digital information from the state land cadastre to identify the boundaries of occupied or liberated territories and adapting the legal framework to martial law conditions. The need for coordination between military, civilian, and international actors to ensure effective land administration in wartime and post-war recovery is discussed. The model offers a balanced approach to territorial development and long-term sustainability of land management, focused on sustainable development after the end of hostilities. |
| Ecological and economic profile of cities on the way to sustainable development | Author : V. Nazarenko, ?. Voytovich | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Based on the studies, the selected cities successfully implemented sustainable development programs based on the climate agreement in stages. Green areas are expanding in selected cities, and investment in development programs and support for the renewable energy initiative continues. It can be confidently stated that at the local level, harmful emissions have been reduced, and the effectiveness of waste management programs has been increased. For example, Paris and New York allocate significant portions of their budgets to sustainability programs, demonstrating effective alignment between investments in environmental conservation programs and the sustainability of economic development. Despite limited resources, the city of Kyiv is demonstrating progress in modernizing waste disposal systems and adopting EU environmental regulations.
The economic development of cities can harmonize harmoniously with implementing environmental programs. First, this is due to targeted investment programs and the adaptation of new urban programs related to the environment. In the future, it is advisable to develop mechanisms of cooperation between municipal authorities, public organizations, and private businesses to solve environmental problems and overcome the negative impact of their consequences. This makes it possible to create a roadmap for effective city management. Such city development programs will improve their environmental and economic profiles, supporting the global pursuit of sustainable development. |
| The evolution of the development of forest amelioration land use and restoration of field protection forest strips in communities | Author : G. Sharyi, O. Kuznetsova, T. Odaryuk, I. Yermakova, S. Shara | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The work examines the evolution of the development of field-protecting forest strips (forest strips), the main component of the agro-landscapes of the steppe and forest-steppe of Ukraine, as well as the determined directions for the preservation of forest strips and the need to involve communities and the public in afforestation and restoration works.
One of the basic elements of preserving the productivity of agricultural landscapes, protecting soils from wind and water erosion.
The importance of forest strips as an important element of the ecological framework of the steppe and forest-steppe of Ukraine, which ensures a 20% increase in crop yields, forms a special microclimate in the agricultural sphere, and improves soil water supply, is emphasized.
The unsatisfactory and partly critical condition of the forest belts of Ukraine, especially in the combat zones, was determined, and possible legal and regulatory solutions at the state, regional and local levels were proposed. The need to strengthen state support for land afforestation and insufficient government measures in the field of afforestation are emphasized.
The paper proposes measures and mechanisms for solving the problem of protection, restoration and development of the forest belt system, which is relevant for Ukraine, and increasing the percentage of forests in the steppe and forest-steppe of Ukraine, due to forest reclamation. Problems affecting the functioning of forest strips and their protective functions are described.
It is proposed to transfer agroforests removed from collective property lands and created by the efforts of villages to communities as an incentive for the organization of communal forestry units in communities, which will make it possible to consolidate and revitalize most forest strips and carry out afforestation of communal and private land plots. The need to adopt state and regional target programs for the protection and development of forest plantations has been determined
Land payments to the budget, with the allocation of up to 50 percent of land payments from agricultural lands to the specified goals, have been identified as the main source of financing for forest reclamation works, restoration of forest strips and afforestation.
It was noted that agricultural producers who implement the methods of intelligent, combined and organic farming in most cases carefully take care of forest strips and maintain their functional properties. In the Poltava region, we can single out the enterprises "Astarta-Kyiv" and PE "Agroekology". |
| Methodology and results of creating 3D models of historical and cultural objects using a smartphone equipped with a LiDAR scanner | Author : I. Kovalchuk, V. Yukhymyuk, V. Bogdanets | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This algorithm is the basis for a substantiated methodology for creating 3D models of objects of historical, cultural and scientific heritage of Ukraine.In the design of mobile devices, LiDAR technology first appeared on rear cameras in 2020 with the release of the iPad Pro and iPhone 12 Pro/iPhone 12 Pro Max. LiDAR is used in them to determine the distances from the camera to the objects under study using laser radiation. Using a smartphone equipped with a LiDAR scanner, the main exhibition of the Soil Museum was photographed using the Polycam program.In the course of further work, based on the point cloud created during the 3D lidar scanning of the Soil Museum, a digital 3D model of the soil monoliths exposition of this object was built (using such software tools as Auto CAD, PIX4D, 3D MAX, Blender).The result of the work performed is a 3D model of the soil monoliths exposition of the Soil Museum, located in auditorium 53 of the second academic building of the NUBiP of Ukraine. At the final stage of the research, the results obtained were verified by comparing the linear dimensions of the stands, determined using a tape measure directly in the Museum, and these same indicators displayed on the 3D model. The error in measuring the linear parameters of the exposition using LiDAR did not exceed 3.10%, i.e. it is acceptable.The created version of the 3D model of the soil monoliths exhibition of the Soil Museum of the National University of Sciences of Ukraine can be used for both educational and popularization purposes. |
| Modern digital technologies in land management systems | Author : A. Koshel, D. Koshel | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Modern development of society is impossible without effective management of natural resources, among which land resources play a key role. Land is the basis of economic activity, a source of food security and an integral element of ecological balance. In this regard, there is a need to improve land management systems, especially in the context of the rapid development of digital technologies and the globalisation of information processes.
The use of digital technologies, such as geographic information systems, remote sensing, big data and blockchain, creates new opportunities for effective monitoring, analysis and forecasting of land use changes. These tools help to ensure transparency of cadastral records, reduce the risks of abuse in land relations, and increase the accuracy and speed of management decision-making. At the same time, there is a growing demand for the integration of such technologies into management systems, which requires scientific justification and practical implementation.
In the face of growing challenges related to urbanisation, climate change and land degradation, digital technologies are an important tool for supporting sustainable development. In Ukraine, where a significant portion of land resources is in a state of environmental hazard and management systems often remain outdated, the introduction of modern digital solutions is not only promising but also urgent.
Thus, this article focuses on the current issues of integrating digital technologies into land management systems, which is essential for increasing their efficiency, transparency and sustainability. This study is aimed at identifying new approaches to solving land use problems adapted to modern challenges and needs of society. |
| Development of a geospatial database for planning land protection measures against wind erosion | Author : A. Moskalenko, V. Andriianov | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This study describes the development of a structure that provides an opportunity to systematize and accumulate geospatial and attributive data. In the course of the research, a geospatial data base model was developed, which ensures the accumulation of data to solve the problem of spatio-temporal analysis and support the justification of land protection measures against wind erosion. The geospatial database model is developed using a UML class diagram that illustrates not only the main design components, but also details the attributes and their data types.
The article structured an algorithm for analyzing geospatial data, structured and accumulated in a geospatial data base, to determine lands that may be threatened by wind erosion. The algorithm is presented through a functional model.
The research developed a model of the knowledge base as a component of the geospatial database, which contains both standards and additional influencing factors that affect the increase or decrease of the risk of wind erosion.
The work presents a geoimage of the studied territory with the selection of territories that may be subject to wind erosion in different seasons.
The results of the work can be used in the process of planning land protection measures to protect against wind erosion. |
