The land code of 1922 as the basis of modern land legislation

Abstract

The level of land management science and the scale of its practical application is one of the weighty indicators of the economic potential of any country. Unfortunately, we have to state that sustainable development is currently interpreted only in the context of economic growth, which actually minimizes the role of social and environmental factors. Until now, the assessment of the natural and environmental factor has not been included in the economic turnover at the macro level. This distorts the assessment of national wealth, hinders the correct analysis of the directions and mechanisms of economic development. At the same time, the founders of modern land management science were characterized by a clear understanding of the laws of the functioning of the economy as a whole. They paid a lot of attention to the structural and technological inefficiency of the Soviet economy, which led to huge losses and irrational use of natural resources. It is these problems that have become the most acute in our days, not only for Russia, but for the whole world. The ideas laid down during the creation of the RSFSR Land Code of 1922 are still relevant today. It is necessary to take into account the existing historical experience of land and property transformations and on the basis of them to form fresh ideas to improve the strategic planning of territorial development in the new reality, to improve the quality of agricultural land, update the norms of land allocation, to adjust projects, programs, strive to optimize solutions to land management tasks and social problems of cadastral activity (reform).
