MODERN ROLE OF STAKEHOLDERS IN UKRAINIAN LAND AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Aim of the study: The development of land relations in Ukraine on the way to European integration requires the identification of all interested parties involved in the management of land resources and nature use. Since all existing directions of land use, as one of the main components of natural resources, can have an impact on the current state of the environment, land management is considered as a component of general environmental management. Material and methods: The identification of stakeholders can be carried out in the following stages: analysis of the interests of interested parties in land management and environmental management; analysis of powers and interests of subjects of land management; analysis of rights and responsibilities of stakeholders in matters of sustainable land use and environmental protection. Based on the generally accepted understanding of the concept of stakeholders, they include not only those natural and legal persons who have a basic interest in land use issues, but also those whose activities can potentially affect the process of land and environmental management itself and its results for society. Results and conclusions: Six main groups of stakeholders have been identified, which in our opinion have the greatest interest and influence on land and environmental management, have the greatest interest and leverage in Ukraine, namely Executive Authorities, Local Self-Government Bodies, Land Owners, Land Users, Investors, Non-Governmental Organizations and Population. The stakeholders included in each of the main groups are defined, their powers, legal rights are outlined, and the main manifestations of the economic, environmental and social interests of these groups of stakeholders are defined.
