ECONOMIC ISSUES OF LAND USE IMPROVEMENT AND ACTIVATION OF THE LAND MARKET IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Land resources, together with other means of production, are actively used in the process of social and economic activity in Ukraine. Under such conditions, the system of land relations, the main forms of land ownership, as well as the peculiarities of owning and using it, which correspond to world experience, were formed. On the basis of the study of scientific works, the land legislation of Ukraine and conducting research, the problematic issues of land relations in the conditions of the development of the market economy in Ukraine and the improvement of the efficiency of land as a resource and means of labor are presented. Ukraine’s desire to rebuild land relations and develop them in accordance with world standards objectively led to the formation of a new system of land management and land use, which is focused on achieving sustainable development, on the formation of an effective landowner and subject of activity on land. In Ukraine, the basic principles of effective development of land management have been created, which provide for equal rights for all forms and subjects of land ownership. In order to ensure a strong economy of the state, special attention should be paid to the activation of the land market, the increase in the amount of rental income of farms and subjects. This should significantly increase the socio-economic development of Ukraine’s economy. Land rent acts as an economic form of realizing the right to own land through rent, occupies a prominent place in pricing, directly shapes the price of land, which is extremely important for the potential of agriculture in market conditions. Economic prerequisites and mechanisms for the effective functioning of land ownership entities are expected to be provided through state regulation of the domestic land market using mainly monetary and commodity interventions. Considerable attention should be paid to the mechanisms of ensuring the solvency of land owners and users and the activation of the processes of further privatization of land resources with the help of preferential lending. The problem of activation and stabilization of the land market began to be solved thanks to the state policy in Ukraine, which is oriented towards European integration.
