Abstract

Ukraine is on the verge of the land market opening. This process should begin in 2020, when free sale of land will be introduced. Now, only the land lease is officially allowed. To ensure transparency, equity and reliability of this process, objective information on real land use and its history, crop development state in each vegetation season is required. All these indicators significantly affect the market value of the land. However, there is no publicly available system in Ukraine with information on real land use and landowners. This information is only contained in the state cadaster system, which contains a lot of incorrect information, since land ownership acts were generated chiefly manually. These mistakes became obvious after the digitation process of state cadaster. Therefore, creation of the legal, technical and legislative prerequisites for the land market opening becomes an extremely important task, as well as the development of geospatial information system of real land use in Ukraine. The World Bank program "Supporting Transparent Land Governance in Ukraine" with financial support from the EU is aimed to address these issues.
