The current needs in the regulation of land relations, which are due to a qualitatively new approach to the development of land use potential, land use, ownership and disposal and the conditions under which the free land market in Ukraine should be formed. The concept of transformation is considered, which means the process of replacing the features of one economic order with similar features of another order, resulting in the transformation of the economic system as a whole. The main problems of land management in rural areas of Ukraine, which provide for the revival of rural areas by optimizing their territorial organization, creating conditions for balanced use of nature and protection of natural resources, improving social conditions and living infrastructure of rural residents, improving the demographic situation in rural areas. It is emphasized that to date in Ukraine no land is classified according to suitability on the basis of taking into account (balancing) environmental opportunities and economic feasibility. It is indicated that the priority in the implementation of land policy is the development of the necessary land management and urban planning documentation, land inventory, topographic and geodetic works, land valuation, land management schemes and feasibility study of land use and protection of administrative-territorial entities, development of working projects reclamation of disturbed lands, protection of lands from erosion, flooding and other dangerous geological processes. The components of the formation of information and analytical support for monitoring the use of land resources of the united territorial communities of Ukraine are proposed. It is concluded that the functioning of the land market in Ukraine should be based on social justice, public, public and private interests, legality, efficiency, transparency, openness, ensuring the balanced development of settlements and other areas, protection and rational use of land resources potential and other natural resources. At the same time, the main generator of sustainable development of rural areas, its economic «engine» should be economic activity in rural areas, rational use of land and resource potential, focused on the multifaceted functioning of the rural economy.

Introduction. Under decentralization, there is a gradual transfer of powers and resources to local governments. In this case, one of the most urgent problem for rural areas, is the organization of rational land management from the position of financial support improving through the disposing of lands, and using available lands for community needs. Methods. General and special methods – monographic and abstract-logical, methods of generalization, comparison and analysis have been applied for data processing. Results. During the decentralization reform, it was found that 488 rural united territorial communities were formed, covering almost half the area of all UTCs created. In addition, nearly 800 village councils joint to the city-based UTCs. The ways of the redistribution of powers on the UTC land resources management are established at the expense of acquiring their own powers, obtaining delegated ones, as well as acquiring the rights of other institutions. Emphasis is placed on the benefits of managing land resources of rural communities at the local level. It has been determined that the applicable law restrict communal land use of UTC. At the same time, the importance of agricultural land outside the settlement transfer to the disposal of communities is emphasized. The importance of the land payment in the structure of local budget revenues is analyzed in detail, the key problems and contradictions that accompany the process of land management powers reallocation are identified. Suggestions are made to improve the rural communities land resources management through their inventory, accounting and monitoring, revision of rental rates for communal property, strengthening control over compliance with the terms of land use agreements, use of free lands in the interests of communities. Discussion. Further studies in this area are going to be aimed at developing a comprehensive mechanism for ensuring effective management of land resources in rural areas after the completion of decentralization. Keywords: land resources, rural territories, decentralization, united territorial communities, local governments.

In the context of the reform of the sale of agricultural land, the priority is to optimize land use, which is to find a balance of land that would meet their environmental, economic and social compliance with the functions of the agricultural sector. Two main approaches to the optimization process are considered. The first is by intensifying agriculture with significant energy costs, land depletion and the inevitable increase in environmental pressures. And the second is the gradual formation of a balanced agrosphere with alternative agriculture and environmentally friendly livestock. The structure of land plots in terms of regions of Ukraine, which in the conditions of the land market does not promote balanced land use, is analyzed. Acquired arable land will not be transferred to other categories of land at auctions, even if it is significantly degraded. When forming the pricing policy in the land sector, it is important to compare the value of arable land in Ukraine and European countries. This comparative analysis shows the underestimated value of arable land in Ukraine (the lowest figure in Europe is less than 1 thousand euros / ha) at the initial stage of sale. It is estimated that the six-year lease of arable land at this stage of land reform is more appropriate than their sale. The fact of plowing part of pastures under these conditions and increasing the share of arable land in river valleys, drained lands, etc. is alarming. According to the results of the calculations, Table 1 shows the value of arable land, pastures, hayfields by administrative regions. The comparative characteristic of agricultural lands on the available highly productive lands is carried out. The highest share of such lands in Ternopil, Poltava and Cherkasy oblasts was found out, which provides for their highest valuation. The created map diagram of the general cost assessment of agricultural lands demonstrates their land resource potential and reflects the spatial differentiation of this indicator by typological groups of regions. The authors analyzed the optimization model of land use in Ukraine, developed by a group of leading domestic scientists under the project "Sustainable Development Programs", and proposed to consider the category of productive lands as basic arable lands, the share of which in Ukraine is 44.8% of arable land. The directions of reforming land relations in Ukraine taking into account historical traditions and granting the highest status of the basic land user - the rural community are offered. At the same time to make calculations, based on the results of which to identify production types (specialization) of farms, which will be the most objective, as it takes into account local natural and economic conditions; - on the basis of specialization of peasant farms, study of types of land use in enterprises of various forms of ownership and data on natural land fertility to perform agricultural zoning of the territory; - in each allocated agricultural area, the whole array of land in use, divided into at least 3 groups: 1) lands of peasant farms, which over time should be granted the right of life ownership with the possibility of inheritance and on which the state should support non-profit, subsistence farming; 2) lands withdrawn from agricultural circulation due to the destruction of their natural fertility and those to be transferred to the nature reserve fund, and, over time, included in the national ecological network; 3) lands that have not yet lost their natural fertility and those that are in the use of agricultural enterprises of various forms of ownership. Key words: land optimization, monetary valuation of agricultural lands, land resource potential, spatial differentiation of lands, land relations.

The purpose of this work is to analyze the land resource potential of the Transcarpathian region and the main trends in the efficiency of its use. The study of land use optimization in the mountainous and foothills of the Carpathians is of particular importance. The specific climatic and morphological conditions of the region and the reorganization of land use exacerbate the problem of effective development of the agricultural sector and ecology of land reproduction. Method. General scientific methods, including analysis, scientific synthesis, analytical method, methods of comparison and generalization been used in the study. To study the current state of land and resource potential of the Transcarpathian region, information from the Main Department of the State Geocadastre in the Transcarpathian region and statistical materials of the Main Department of Statistics in the Transcarpathian region have been used. To achieve this goal, comparative geographical and statistical research methods have been used. Scientific novelty. The article highlights the trends, approaches and features of land use potential of the Transcarpathian region. Its spatial differentiation has been investigated, the component structure of the land fund of the Zakarpattia region has been analyzed and the intensity of the target use of the land resources of the region has been determined. A general assessment of the use of land resources of the Transcarpathian region has been done as a major factor in the development of agricultural monosystems and identified areas of its rational use. It has been determined that a characteristic feature of the land resources of the region is the low level of area use suitable for agricultural production, there is also a significant withdrawal of land for commercial and residential construction. Practical meaning. The results of this study can be used in the educational process of educational institutions; in the development of state and regional programs for the development of the agricultural sector of the national economy; for the preparation of new regulatory, program and methodological documents.

This paper provides a brief overview of how traditional concepts and approaches of land use planning have evolved into a more widely accepted vision of ‘land resources planning’ and its requirements for participatory processes, involvement of multi-sectoral stakeholders, and multi-thematic information at appropriate scales. Given its comprehensive ambitions, land resource planning (LRP) has a growing demand for a wide-ranging toolset, encompassing different tools in the biophysical, socio-economic, and governance (in a form of guidelines, methods, approaches and support tools). In order to collate knowledge, experiences and lessons from the LRP tools users, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) - Land and Water Division held a consultation process through a survey among a range of stakeholders operating at different levels, sectors and regions. The survey evidenced limited awareness about the current availability of tools for land use planning. To remedy this situation, FAO developed the Land Resources Planning Toolbox (LRPT), a web-based inventory of existing tools. The Toolbox makes distinguishing between the tools in the socio-economic domain, those in the biophysical and the ones combining the two domains. The Toolbox explains the ability and restrictions of the LRP tools and their appropriateness to different regions, stakeholders and levels, and can be searched according to several criteria. It is concluded that, the Toolbox offers a useful mechanism for knowledge sharing and exchange of recent tools to enhance participatory LRP. It also has a great potential to support sustainable land management and landscape restoration. In this way it addresses, indirectly, conflicts and competition over resources.

Nations, village communities and individual land users need to make choices about land use in order to support development without risk of land degradation. Computerized land information systems (LIS) based on geographic information systems (GIS) have emerged as powerful tools for generating maps and reports to inform such decisions. Recently, FAO has been developing GIS/LIS systems in linkage with its agroecological zoning (AEZ) and other models, and using them to tackle issues of land, food and people at global, national and subnational levels. They have been successfully developed for land resource management at different scales, but practical difficulties have been encountered in making them accessible to the casual user in most developing countries, due to scarcity of data and poor training support.
