LEGAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PURPOSE OF LAND PLOTS IN UKRAINE

The article examines the issue of the purpose of land plots and categories of land plots, which are fixed in the Land Code of Ukraine. It is emphasized that depending on the category to which a specific land plot belongs, subjects of land legal relations will be able to use it in this way. The classification that determines the division of land into separate types of purpose, which are characterized by their own legal regime, ecosystem functions, types of buildings and types of particularly valuable objects, is considered. It has been established that information on the purpose of the land plot is entered in the State Land Cadastre, and when the purpose is changed, the specified information is entered in the same register. Emphasis is placed on the fact that there is a separate procedure for changing the purpose, depending on the form of ownership of this or that plot of land. If it is a private form of ownership, then it includes three stages that relate to the development of land management documentation, approval of the project by the local council, and entering information into the State Land Cadastre. It was determined that agricultural lands are the national wealth of each country, which determines not just a special legal regime, but a priority legal regime for lands of this category. It is emphasized that land suitable for agricultural needs should be provided, first of all, for agricultural use, since the unique properties of land, in particular, fertility, are used in the field of agriculture. Such categories of land belong to the main means of agricultural production, without which this process is impossible. It was established that, with the help of appropriate legal regulation, it is necessary to ensure not only the use of agricultural land in agriculture, but also the preservation of the unique properties of this category of land. It was determined that mainly non-agricultural land is provided for the construction of industrial enterprises, housing and communal facilities, railways and highways, power transmission and communication lines, main pipelines, as well as for other needs not related to agricultural production or agricultural land of inferior quality.
