Geospatial Technologies in Land Cadastre Operations and the Governance of Land Resources and the Land Market

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse the potential practical applications of geoinformation systems and technologies, to identify the key challenges associated with their development and use, and to substantiate possible solutions to these challenges.

The research methodology encompasses an analysis of promising directions in the use of geoinformation systems and technologies, a review of the advantages of their application, an examination of the problems involved in their development and implementation, and a justification of strategies for addressing these issues.

The findings of the study demonstrate that modern geoinformation systems and technologies in Ukraine are highly suitable not only for carrying out cadastral surveying and managing land resources and the land market, but also for addressing a wide range of tasks and for undertaking various operations across numerous other sectors and domains.

The principal advantages of their application include the saving of material resources and time particularly in the development of diverse forms of documentation and in decision-making processes—the increased efficiency of managers and project implementers, and the stimulation of investment growth as well as the enhancement of the tourism and recreational attractiveness of local areas.

At the same time, the development and deployment of geoinformation systems and technologies require substantial financial investment, and their use demands specialised skills and competencies in geoinformatics. Furthermore, their application is unfeasible under wartime conditions.

Potential sources of funding for the development and implementation of geoinformation systems and technologies include the state budget, local government budgets, and international technical assistance. Additionally, there is a need in Ukraine to organise training in the fundamentals of geoinformatics for managerial personnel and staff of land management and geodetic services within local territorial communities. These measures would enable the widespread use of geoinformation systems and technologies across the country in the post-war period.
