CONCEPTUAL AND TERMINOLOGICAL APPARATUS OF LAND USE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL

Abstract

It is worth considering that the conceptual and terminological apparatus is an integral part of any scientific field. However, in the context of land use at the local level, especially when considering problems that intersect geography, earth sciences, ecology, agriculture, economics, jurisprudence and other related fields, the relevance of the issue of conceptual and terminological apparatus becomes very obvious. The peculiarity of this field is that its research has a direct applied nature, which requires a deep understanding and definition of certain scientific concepts. The set of these scientific concepts constitutes the conceptual and terminological apparatus that defines the structure and language for further research in the field of land use. In our scientific study, we highlighted the main approaches to defining the category “land relations”. These approaches are primarily, as is known, based on three key terms: ownership, use and disposal of land plots. However, an important concept in our study of the field of land use is the very concept of “land”, which, together with its derivatives, such as “land relations”, “land resources”, “land management”, “land management”, “land use”, “paradigm of land management”, forms a complex conceptual and terminological apparatus, which is currently in an active process of formation. The results of our study of the essence of the conceptual and terminological apparatus related to “land relations” provide grounds for the assertion that land relations have an objective nature and are a socio-economic and ecological process of ownership, use and disposal, which determines the novelty and relevance of our research.
