Soil map in the system of sustainable land resources management of the community (on the example of Odesa region)

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to analyze soil and land use problems at the regional and local (territorial communities) levels and the need to update soil maps as tools for sustainable land resource management (using the example of the Odesa region).

The main material. The article highlights the analysis of modern problems of sustainable land use in the system of land resources management of the regional and local (local) levels on the example of Odesa region. The main legal and ecological and economic aspects of land use are analyzed using the example of the Odesa region. It is stated that the available materials on soils within the territories newly created in 2020 within the framework of the administrative reform of communities need to be updated and updated.

The methodological basis of the research is an interdisciplinary approach, which is based on the application of the comparative-geographic approach traditional for soil science, with a combination of cartographic analysis and modeling tools.

For sustainable management of soil and land resources at the regional level, it is necessary to operate with an updated soil map, and at the local level - a community or a business entity - with maps and cartograms of agricultural production groups of soils of a specific territory. Given the need to continue the decentralization reform in Ukraine and the approximation of management decisions at the level of territorial communities, it is necessary to strengthen work on mandatory ecological and agrochemical certification of farm lands of all forms of ownership within communities.

Conclusions and further research. It is recommended, in the current conditions of the legal regime of martial law, to use existing open geoinformation applications at the local level for the purpose of sustainable land use. In the system of strategic planning at the regional level, it is extremely necessary to create advisory services based on leading institutions of higher education, scientific institutions with the involvement of representatives of the government and the public, among the tasks of which will be sustainable soil management. Directions and ways are proposed for the sustainable use of soil and land resources of the region and its communities in the context of climate change and the chosen course of Ukraine for the implementation of European environmentally sustainable policies.
