The role of land management in the process of economic modernization in Ukraine

The cause-and-effect relationship between economic modernization and land management, the role of the latter in the process of modernization of Ukraine, as well as the transformation of the content and practices related to land management in the growth and post-war reconstruction of the country are studied. The key role of land management in economic modernization, with an emphasis on the importance of land management practices in overcoming the consequences of the armed conflict in Ukraine, is noted. The analysis of legislative and regulatory acts of Ukraine regarding economic modernization indicates a predominantly narrowed, albeit direct, application of its context: first of all, in relation to the modernization of infrastructure, material and technical base; ecological modernization of enterprises; updating technical and technological processes taking into account the impact on the environment; on social aspects and education, as well as systems of administration, such as public administration and public finance. Whereas in connection with land management, the context of economic modernization in the regulatory and legal acts of Ukraine (as of June 1, 2023) can only be indirectly highlighted in connection with projects and documents, some of which relate to agriculture. The structural and logical scheme reflecting the role of land management in the process of economic modernization of Ukraine is justified. It is noted that land management practices contribute, among other, to the solution of such urgent problems as ensuring food security, attracting investments in agriculture, in particular, in the context of its modernization and infrastructure development, as well as emphasizing the role of land management as an important component of the European integration process of Ukraine, which provides for the approximation of national land legislation to the EU acquis.
