Environmental planning and management serve to develop and implement special measures aimed at the rational use of natural resources, including the rational land use. Any further improvement of the production efficiency as well as of the material and cultural living standards is subject to the rational, economical use of land resources aiming to ensure balance in the natural environment. Land resources constitute a critical factor in the production and economic development of the country. State economic potential is strongly dependent on the availability and efficiency of environmental use and protection. For its part, the rational and effective land use requires a unified state register of immovable property. With due consideration of the current land use challenges and in order to improve the land use efficiency and regulating procedure, the appropriate legal and regulatory acts have been adopted both at the federal and local level in the Russian Federation. The principles of the rational land use planning are subject to current environmental safety requirements and management mechanism.
This article covers the problem of rational use of land taking into account the economic and environmental aspects, aiming to eliminate any irrational use of land plots in the future. For this reason, it specifies the parameters characterizing the components of a rational land use concept, namely, its compliance with the intended use, sustainable soil fertility and environmental situation. The achievement of rationalization often contradicts the basic objectives of the concept of territorial development. To avoid such contradictions, the authors disclose the principles of rational land use. As of today, the concept of rational land use covers aspects in various spheres, such as ecology, economics, sociology, and, besides, affects environmental measures. Land resources management refers not only to the use of land resources, when natural and economic conditions and properties of the territory are the most fully taken into account, the fundamental socio-economic interests of the society are ensured, high efficiency of production and other activities is achieved, and the productive and other soil properties are recovered and ensured, but also to the possibility of using land by legitimate land users.
