THE ORGANIZATION AND METHODOLOGY OF A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF LAND RESORUCES ON THE BASIS OF A BALANCE SYSTEM OF INDICATORS

Abstract

In Ukraine, land relations have been undergoing permanent reforming for more than twenty-five years. The transition period characterized by the events such as the abandonment of a command economy and the advent of a market economy has considerably affected the various aspects of land ownership and land use, starting with change in the form of land ownership and land resource distribution (reparcelling) and all the way up to attempts to develop a free market of agricultural lands. Nowadays, the use of land resources for agricultural purposes shows certain tendencies and particularities, which both heavily depend on and spring up due to the intensification of competition on the land rental market, an acute need for preserving soil and reviving its fertility, and the necessity to ensure rational and efficient use of agricultural lands.
Management decisions concerning each one of the domains aforementioned should be well-grounded considering external environment, market and internal economic status quo. Making this possible means developing a rational system to enable a comprehensive analysis of land resources with respect to all decision-making levels.
