Land management is one of the most important areas in the legislation with the help of which the planning, study, organization and use of land resources takes place. Moreover, relations regarding all forms of ownership are regulated, namely state, municipal or private.
Main goals
Since land management is a legal category governing the areas of land exploitation, it includes a list of specific measures and activities. They are used in the following cases:
- changing the size and boundaries of various land plots ;
- the use of problem areas, improving their quality;
- protection of the earth from natural disasters, emergencies and natural disasters;
- detection of objects with various violations;
- restoration of the earth after exposure to natural disasters.
The main functions and tasks of this sphere are as follows:
- obtaining information regarding land quality throughout the Russian Federation;
- development of plans for the use of plots;
- compilation of an inventory including information on the location and quality of land;
- definition of boundaries;
- control of lands owned by indigenous peoples.
Land management is, first of all, actions aimed at control and conservation of lands located on the territory of Russia.
Goals
Land management goals are quite extensive and make up the following list:
- ensuring the efficient use of land ;
- protection of territories from natural disasters, as well as from illegal human activities;
- improving the quality of land and ensuring favorable conditions.
Land management also includes work aimed at optimizing land use and restoration.
Kinds
Types of land management differ in tasks and areas of action. It is customary to distinguish 3 main groups.
The actions of inter-farm land management (another name for this group is territorial) are aimed at studying the lands for their quality and fertility, ensuring optimal operation for each type of soil. Also, the tasks of this land management include determining the official borders and conducting land surveying.
On-farm land management was established in order to control activities in the already distributed territories belonging to specific entities. This group also organizes agricultural work.
State land management is considered the most extensive industry, the activity of which boils down to the following:
- Changing the layout of land for more convenient use.
- Implementation of the organization of agricultural enterprises whose activities affect the economy of the state.
- Fighting soil erosion, improving its fertility.
- Detection of ownerless land and their registration.
- Setting the boundaries of cities, towns, etc.
- Measurement and other surveys of territories.
- Land acquisition in case of violation of the law.
Each type of land use is responsible for the performance of specific functions. This distinction contributes to a more efficient operation of the system.
Subject and Object
The description of land management will be incomplete without indicating what the subject and object of these relations are.
The entire territory of the Russian Federation is considered as an object, namely, lands of various purpose intended for the state, municipality, etc.
Land use entities include:
- The state itself as a whole, its subjects, acting in the person of the authorities.
- Self-government bodies act on behalf of municipalities.
- Legal entities (enterprises, organizations, etc.).
- Individuals
A special part of this category of law includes lands belonging to indigenous peoples.
Documents
Land management, like any other industry, includes the availability of certain documentation, namely:
- schemes and plans that clearly show the division of the entire territory into sections;
- on-farm land management projects;
- reports on various studies;
- maps that clearly show the purpose of the use of sites and the quality of the landscape;
- materials containing soil fertility assessment and other indicators;
- plans for the improvement, protection and development of land.
Land management is a category of law, the main direction of which is the preservation of the rich potential of lands, their protection and restoration. Also, with the help of this industry, control over the use and quality of territories is carried out. If such a category as land management were absent in Russian law, then most likely many rich lands would have been depleted long ago, resources were used with less efficiency, and the number of offenses increased several times.
