The subject of this paper is the influence of anthropogenic factors on the state of erosion in the rural part of the municipality of Vozdovac. The aim of the research is the analysis of the influence of the local population on land resources, based on the past and present state of erosion and sediment production, the usage of land resources, as well as natural and mechanical population movements. The municipality of Vozdovac is one of the 17 municipalities in Belgrade area, which covers an area of 15,000 ha. The municipal territory includes both urban and rural parts (9216 ha). When it comes to how land resources are used, it is a characteristic example of erosion processes in the mountainous Belgrade area. This paper presents an analysis of the degree of erosion threat to agricultural land in the municipality of Vozdovac, including three periods (1971; 1988; 2012), where the method used is the erosion potential method by professor Gavrilovic. However, the calculation of sediment yield was made by the method of S. Gavrilovic. The analysis of demographic factors pointed to the influence of anthropogenic factors on the state of erosion. Mathematical methods were used - geometric and exponential progression for population projections in 2020 and 2030. The results of this study showed that the intensity of erosion in that area significantly decreased and that it has a tendency of further decline.

This study assesses land cover change of the Koupa Matapit forest gallery, West Cameroon, in relation to anthropogenic factors. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted to investigate the relationships between the local population and the gallery forest; the spatio-temporal dynamics of the landscapes around the gallery forest were studied from the diachronic analysis of three Landsat TM satellite images of 1984, Landsat ETM + 1999 and Landsat OLI_TIRS of 2016, supplemented by verification missions on field. The satellite images were processed using ArcGIS and Erdas Imagine software. According to surveys, it should be noted that agriculture and livestock are the main economic activities of the population of Koupa Matapit, agriculture and fuel wood collection for energy were the main anthropogenic activities responsible for deforestation and degradation of the forest gallery. The collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) would have a significant implication in land use and cover changes. The results indicate that the extension of savannah/agricultural land (from 6989 ha in 1984 to 7604 ha in 2016) and bare soil/built up area (from 71 ha in 1984 to 342 ha in 2016) would have led to the disappearance of much of the forest area (1465 ha in 1984 to 580 ha in 2016). The rapid population growth of Koupa Matapit would be responsible for these pressures. There is an urgent need to implement appropriate land use policy in this area.

Abstract. The purpose of our research is to study the state of the soil cover of peasant farms, and to establish the cause of the decline in soil fertility, the land used by them in their farms. The preservation and improvement of the soil cover, therefore, and the basic vital resources in the conditions of intensification of agricultural production, industrial development, rapid growth of cities and transport is possible only with well-established control over the use of all types of soil and land resources. The object of the study was the soil cover on the territory of farms of the Republic, with certain natural conditions and a specific type of economic development. The data obtained as a result of research on the state of the soil cover reflect the General pattern of development of land degradation throughout the territory of farms, due to uncontrolled use of land resources. In the article, the sizes of land shares of farms of the Republic which in our opinion are one of the main reasons of decrease in soil fertility of lands of agricultural purpose are considered. At the moment, there is no current legislation in Azerbaijan that could regulate the consolidation of agricultural land and prevent further unjustified fragmentation of land plots. The author in the work proposes a method of land management on a voluntary basis to carry out land consolidation. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time on the territory of the Republic to solve the problems associated with the deterioration of soil cover on the lands of farms, it is proposed to consolidate the lands of small farms into larger landholdings. As consolidation of lands in these farms will create for their owners an opportunity to unite the efforts in carrying out Agro complex actions in fight against deterioration of soil fertility.

The article analyzes the state of agricultural land in the Krasnodar region, considers its composition and structure. Trends and reasons for transferring agricultural land to other land categories and back are identified. The distribution of agricultural land in the Krasnodar region by ownership and management forms is studied. The analysis of the current state of agricultural land has revealed the main problems in the use of land resources, including the lack of up-to-date information on the availability and distribution of land by land users, owners, tenants, forms of management and land. Another problem observed in land use in the region is the problem of irrational use of agricultural land, which is the unauthorized transfer of valuable farmlands into less valuable use of land ways, leading to decreased soil fertility, the failure to perform the rotation. The analysis was carried out for the period from 2014 to 2018 on the basis of official data from the regional Federal State Statistic Service, Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, The Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (Rosreestr). Based on the results of the analysis, proposals have been developed that will help improve the use of agricultural land in the Krasnodar region and develop an effective land policy in the region.

Abstract. Changes of agricultural land into non-agricultural land is the main issue of increasing population and urbanization. The objective of this paper is to identify the various land resources and its changes into other Land Use Land Cover (LULC) type. LANDSAT satellite data for 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2018 years of Kailali district Nepal was acquired for supervised LULC mapping and change analysis using ENVI 5.4 software. Sentinel-2 and Google earth satellite data were used for the accuracy assessment of the LULC map. The time-series data analysis from 1990–2000–2010–2018 shows major changes in vegetation and agriculture. The changes in LULC show that settlement and bare land is continuously increasing throughout these years. The change in land use and land cover during the period of 1990–2018 shows that the settlement area is increased by 204%; and agriculture is decreased by 57%. The fluctuating behavior of vegetation, agriculture and water bodies in which the areas decrease and increase over the selected periods is due to natural calamities and migration of the local population. This shows that human influence on the land resources is accelerating and leading to a deterioration of agricultural land. Thus effective agricultural management practices and policies should be carried out at the government level for minimizing land resources degradation by the human-induced impact.

Land resources are one of the most important resources in the environmental management system. This resource is necessary for almost all types of human activity: agriculture, construction, industry, mining, recreation, etc. According to the intended purpose in the Land Code of the Russian Federation, lands are divided into seven categories, differing from each other in the economic and legal regime of use. One of these categories is agricultural land. This category of land includes territories necessary for obtaining agricultural products or other purposes related to agriculture, as well as they are geographically distributed outside settlements. Lands of this category of designated purpose are characterized by a high level of anthropogenic impact (agro-preparatory processing of the territory, obtaining agricultural products, placement and grazing of livestock), which significantly affects the indicators of natural biodiversity downward. In order to study the state of land resources in the South of Russia, an analysis was made of the dynamics of changes in the area of agricultural land in the regions that are part of the Southern Federal District. The relevance of the work lies in the study of the current state of agricultural land in the South of Russia. The aim of the work was to study the dynamics of changes in the area of agricultural land in the period from 2009 to 2019. Statistical and analytical methods of geographical research were involved in the work, information was searched for on the state of lands of this category of lands in a certain period of time. In the course of the work, information was collected on the state of agricultural land in each of the regions that are part of the Southern Federal District and the features of changes in the area of land of this category were determined.

Unique nature of land resources determines the specifics of constructing a land management and registration system, which includes accumulation, systematization, processing and analysis of economic information about their quantitative, qualitative, monetary and legal data in the state. The economic, social, and ecological safety of the state and living standards of the population depend on the effective land use. Consequently, there is a need for continuous improvement of the regulatory and legislative framework, development of a methodology for land registration and fixing land accounting operations. The article deals with the current state and problems of the development of synthetic and analytical registration of land resources in Ukraine. The variability of the representation of land relations in the accounting system is also considered. The current system of agricultural land registration in Ukraine does not allow to reflect the full range of characteristics of land plots for external and internal users in order to profit and increase the investment attractiveness of enterprises. It is established that reliable and accurate assessment and registration of land plots have significant influence on the agricultural enterprise position.

The article reveals the issue of structuring the regions of Ukraine by indicators of monetary valuation of agricultural land. On the basis of the data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine the analysis of the structure of agricultural land was carried out, which made it possible to establish a fraction of the area of individual species of land in total. The focus is on the concentration of significant amounts of land in private ownership, which exacerbates the issue of land valuation from the perspective of possible resource management and efficiency in its use. It has been argued that fragmentation of land is one of the good reasons for the inefficient use and changing purpose of land, lack of financial resources and smallholder coherence. In accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Land Assessment" and the data of directories of the State Service of Ukraine on Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre for 2017 - 2019. A comparative analysis of the normative monetary valuation of agricultural land by regions of Ukraine was carried out, which became the information base for their structuring by the method of cluster analysis. It was substantiated that one of the powerful methods of multivariate analysis is the cluster analysis, which is based on a set of selected economic indicators and objects of assessment. Estimates are based on the monetary valuation of agricultural land such as: arable land, perennial plantations, hayfields and pastures. On the basis of mathematical standardization of values of indicators the matrix of imaginary Euclidian distances is calculated, became a basis for formation of 7 clusters, each of which includes a final number of objects-regions distributed on homogeneous signs and approximation on estimations of cost of land areas. The formation of clusters on such characteristics will identify the most similar groups of objects-regions to develop a system of monitoring changes in the cost of land resources with subsequent analysis of fluctuations relative to average levels within specific clusters, and in Ukraine as a whole.

The aim is to analyze land resources as part of the land fund of the Volyn region. A profound study of land resources in the region on such components as land types, quantitative and qualitative indicators to determine the state of land resources at the regional level is done. General scientific and static methods, methods of system and structural analysis, comparative geographical and graphic methods are applied. Regional statistics are processed. The results are shown. The essence of land resources as a part of the country's land fund is revealed. The land fund of the Volyn region is covered (as of January 1, 2019, is 2014.4 thousand hectares), 52% of which is occupied by agricultural land, which indicates a high level of agricultural land development and excessive plowing of its territory. We observe different internal agro-development of the territory of the region in accordance with its landscape differences. The share of the main components of agricultural land in the Volyn region is 33%.The changes in the structure of land resources of the Volyn region are evidenced by the fact that the disturbed lands, which lost their economic and environmental value amounted to 5.85 thousand hectares. There is an increase in the share of unproductive and degraded lands. 87.4% of the total land area of the region is unproductive (2018). In the structure of degraded lands of the Volyn region, lands with acid soils are widespread (12.4% of the total area). The indicator of humus content in soils is important when assessing land resources. The weighted average humus index in the soils of the Volyn region was 1.56%. The application of mineral and organic fertilizers in agricultural enterprises of the region has decreased. The state of land resources of the Volyn region is characterized. The humus condition of soils deteriorates, the supply of nutrients decreases, acidity increases and, as a consequence, their fertility decreases. Rational use of land resources requires the prevention of adverse physical and geographical processes. Scientific novelty. The state of land resources by their structure, quantitative and qualitative indicators on the example of the Volyn region is revealed. Practical significance. The results of the studies reveal the state of land resources of the Volyn region. The results can be used to determine the potential productivity of land resources in the region. The level of the maximum possible rational efficiency of their usage from the point of view of management is determined.
