Abstract

The paper is devoted to the consideration of current theoretical and practical issues of legal regulation of land and property relations in the territories of resorts in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the research topic is due to the imperfection of the current land and special legislation governing these relations, which leads to numerous violations of the legal regime of the land resorts, land and property rights of individuals and public interests, as evidenced by judicial practice. Based on retrospective analysis of land and environmental legislation of the Russian Federation, materials of law enforcement practice and scientific developments, the paper considers both theoretical problems of limiting the turnover of land within the territory of Russian resorts, and the problems of the application of legislation in practice, including in judicial practice. The author shows the inefficiency of the current legal regulation of land and property relations within the territory of resorts, the main reasons for the situation, the ways to improve land and special legislation in this area. It is concluded that the unjustified restriction of land turnover within the boundaries of the territories of resorts and the delimitation of state ownership of the relevant land, depending on the classification of the resort to Federal, regional and local significance, which prevents the development of these territories and violates the property rights of the local population and the owners of real estate. The problems of establishing the borders of districts and zones of sanitary (mountain-sanitary) protection of resorts in documents and when being identified on site are shown. The author justifies the conclusion about the need for development of a new scientific technique of definition of borders of the specified districts and zones and on its basis of revision of their existing borders that is necessary for establishment of reasonable restrictions of use and turnover of the parcels of land in borders of resorts is proved.
