Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the causes of conflicts in the land use in land-hungry regions and to develop optimal solutions in land disputes. The research is based on the field data, collected in land- hungry regions of Russian Caucasus and historical data for same regions. We analyze the data acquired and use the system approach for developing a classification for studied conflicts. It supports the thesis that the agricultural land ownership is critical for the development of a stable regional system of agricultural production. In the majority of Russian regions land reform has been already carried out. Thus, market mechanisms for the functioning and realization of the right to use and possession of agricultural land are in effect. But in North Caucasus republics, institutionalization of land ownership is still vague. As a result, the number of disputes and conflicts in land use is growing. In the article, we carried out a classification of conflicts in land use and the analysis of land conflicts in the republics of the North Caucasus.

Highlights

Land is one of the most valuable assets of every nation
Conflicts arising in the land use of mountainous areas of the North Caucasus can be divided into the following groups: 1. Disputes between Federal and regional authorities; 2
It should be noted that the system of land distribution based on long-term lease immanently contains the basis for economic and social conflicts related to the uncertainty of the amount of rent in the long term. Another drawback of the rental system of land distribution in the mountainous territories of the North Caucasus is associated with a high level of corruption

Summary

Introduction

Land reform has been carried out in most regions of the Russian Federation, where market mechanisms for the functioning and implementation of the right to use and own agricultural land are effective. The problem is the adequate perception of the land reform by the public to change the title of ownership, the mechanisms of distribution and redistribution of land, so conflicts often arise.[7,8,9] People often just don't understand what land ownership is. This is the right to use the particular part of the land with some specific restrictions, and nothing more
