Status and Problems of Normative Monetary Valuation of Land in Ukraine

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Soils Under Stress

Abstract

Soil maps in Ukraine need to be updated as a matter of urgency. They are now more than 30 years old, many are 60 years old. The original mapping was undertaken for other purposes than today’s, and the soils have changed. Apart from all this, systematic errors have been introduced by digitization, geodesic rectification and the attribution of soil characteristics from the original mapping. Legal issues now arise at the point of sale of land on the basis of doubtful data, for instance with legalization of forecast agro-production groups or soils. This is neither fair nor reasonable. Prior to some future programme of large-scale soil survey, these problems may be avoided by deleting doubtful data and substituting the standard rental income of the corresponding agricultural and non-agricultural areas.
