Abstract

In Ukraine, land relations have been undergoing permanent reforming for more than twenty-five years. The transition period characterized by the events such as the abandonment of a command economy and the advent of a market economy has considerably affected the various aspects of land ownership and land use, starting with change in the form of land ownership and land resource distribution (reparcelling) and all the way up to attempts to develop a free market of agricultural lands. Nowadays, the use of land resources for agricultural purposes shows certain tendencies and particularities, which both heavily depend on and spring up due to the intensification of competition on the land rental market, an acute need for preserving soil and reviving its fertility, and the necessity to ensure rational and efficient use of agricultural lands. Management decisions concerning each one of the domains aforementioned should be well-grounded considering external environment, market and internal economic status quo. Making this possible means developing a rational system to enable a comprehensive analysis of land resources with respect to all decision-making levels.

Highlights

The development of the comprehensive analysis of land resources has solid methodological basis, which is located in the crossing of various domains of scientific effort
To carry out this research study we have looked into views of pioneer economists addressing land resource analysis with an emphasis on agriculture firms
Within the context of this research study, an analysis of economic phenomena is regarded neither as the scientific method nor the management function, but its essence becomes apparent by means of the process-based approach in accordance with which analysis of land resources owned by commercial agricultural firms is considered as “an objectively defined order of analytical procedures used to analyze data in order to obtain necessary information” [6, p. 52]

Summary

Introduction

The development of the comprehensive analysis of land resources has solid methodological basis, which is located in the crossing of various domains of scientific effort. The under-study problems addressing an analytical basis for the use of and making improvements into land utilization techniques applied by agriculture firms attribute to the matter of comprehensive land reforming. As a matter of a fact, the recent studies reflect fruitful findings on data needed to conduct a decent economic analysis on the use of land resources [2, 3]. Accounting and analytical features of land use constitutes an important aspect to consider while conducting economic analysis of land resources [1, 5]. The recent studies have failed to adequately address efficient multi-indicator approaches to economic analysis of land resources
