Enhancing the Efficiency of Land Resource Management

Introduction. The land resource management system is important from the perspective of implementing innovative approaches in land management and for stimulating investments and tax revenues into the budget. Purpose is to study land management measures and ways to improve land asset management. Methods. In the course of writing the article, general scientific research methods were applied: analysis, synthesis, and comparison. An analysis of scientific publications by Russian authors dedicated to the issues of increasing the efficiency of land resource management, laws and regulatory acts of the Russian Federation and the Stavropol Territory related to land resource management, as well as statistical data characterizing the land fund of the Stavropol Territory and individual land categories, was carried out. Results. The problem of land resource management in the Russian Federation has been studied using the example of the Stavropol Territory. The distribution of the region's land fund by land categories is presented. It has been established that agricultural lands make up 92.1% of the land fund structure of the Stavropol Territory and are tending to decrease. Among the agricultural lands, arable land occupies the largest share – 64.4%. The goals and objectives of the National Spatial Data System (NSDS), aimed at centralizing and digitizing information about land resources and real estate, are outlined. The importance of the NSDS for effective land resource management and decision-making support in various fields is emphasized. Conclusions. Further development of the NSDS is necessary to improve the spatial data infrastructure, expand databases, and develop new services and applications based on the information obtained. This will allow for more efficient use of spatial information, which will contribute to increasing the efficiency of land resource management.
