The subject of the study is easements as a special and ancient type of rights to other people's land plots. The article presents a scientific analysis of certain aspects and properties of servitude law through the prism of modern judicial practice and on the basis of conclusions drawn in the research of modern foreign civilists. The purpose of the article is to show the new possibilities of the well-known civil law structure (easements), including from the point of view of the implementation of the task of increasingly satisfying the needs of citizens, including recreational needs. General scientific methods were used: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison and description, as well as special methods of cognition of legal reality: historical-legal, formal-legal, comparative-legal, legal modeling. Scientific results: It is proved that the institutions of property law, including the institution of easements, cannot be indifferent to the social problems of our time, including a great role in meeting the diverse needs of citizens, including recreational. It is established that modern judicial practice in cases of easements, proving the effectiveness of justice, actually protects public interests, preventing the formal legal use of the design of easements, detracting from the task of more and more fully satisfying the needs of people in active recreation and recovery. It is emphasized that foreign civil law is actively searching for new models of property law regulation, offering their use taking into account the social tasks of civil law regulation. Attention is drawn to the fundamental conclusions of civilists related to the methodology of assessing real estate burdened with an easement, the separation of easements with other limited property rights, the improvement of forms of protection of this right. The construction of an environmental easement aimed at preserving the landscape, biodiversity, ecosystems and new opportunities for public admission of citizens to private lands for recreation and active recreation is proposed as promising for the introduction into Russian civil legislation.
