Legal issues of information interaction between the State Land Cadastre and the National Spatial Data Infrastructure

In Ukraine, the stages of land reform are actively being carried out in conjunction with the decentralization of power, within which local authorities have been granted powers and territories for management within newly formed territorial communities. They have been given the opportunity to fully dispose of their own resources and determine their future fate, ensuring control and effective management of community land resources.Under these circumstances, urgent issues arose regarding the lack and fragmentation of information about the state of these land territories, the efficiency of the registration system with a clearly defined legislative procedure, and an accessible mechanism for obtaining and using information for interested parties. Additionally, there is a need for information interaction between the State Land Cadastre and the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, as it is crucial for both the spatial development of territorial communities and the functioning of the State Geocadastre. Taking into account the adopted Concept of local self-governance and territorial power reforming in Ukraine, borrowing experience from European Union countries in the use of land and property resources, and spatial development is particularly important for Ukraine as a whole and especially for the organization of the functioning of territorial communities. These changes are extremely relevant in the context of Ukraine’s prospects for European integration. The changes in the exercise of powers related to spatial development and land relations, their fragmentation, and lack of coordination have significantly influenced the need to establish the National Spatial Data Infrastructure and amend the interaction and update the functioning of the State Geocadastre to reorient the back-office format, which will provide administration of the land cadastre and related databases.
