Abstract
The goal is to analyze the state of land resources and information about them in digital format, as well as occupancy and updating in order to identify the quality of unused lands for their subsequent assignment to a specific type of land and provision for temporary use. Methods – monographic, abstract-logical, analytical, statistical, mapping and forecasting. Results - current problems in the land use system are considered. During the pandemic, all land cadastral work was transferred online. It is shown that the main vector of economic development of the republic is digitalization of agriculture, which occupies a leading position in management of agricultural lands. It is noted that in 2023 an interactive map of lands returned to state ownership was launched - jerkarta.gharysh.kz. This geoservice allows not only to display withdrawn land plots in the context of regions and districts, but also to track the statistics of vacant land plots not assigned to land users, as well as the need for pastures. Conclusions - an analysis of two databases is presented, as a result of which it was revealed that information they contain about land masses is incomplete, since there are no indicators of soil quality, physical and chemical properties, and cadastral value of land. The criteria used in conducting land competitions for the provision of unused agricultural land for commercial production have been systematized. The authors state that in order to increase the efficiency of agricultural land use, it is necessary to develop a set of regulatory materials, methodology for periodically updating cadastral documentation and land monitoring, as well as effective mechanism for interaction between bodies to provide information on land plots and ensure access to it for citizens and legal entities.
