Multi-factor approach to development of efficient land use methodology

Abstract

Efficient land use is a key condition for sustainable development of the society. Its implementation involves the coordination of various resources in the economy, ecology, social sphere, technology, and law. The development of efficient land use methodology is based on the use of a multi-factor ap-proach covering tight interdisciplinary collaboration, which results in the search for an integral indicator that generally reflects the efficiency of land use; calculation of private indicators, whose values give a picture of the current state of land use in the relevant institutional environment. The article highlights the main unsolved land use issues in Russia. The authors emphasize the role of the state and the legal framework in the land regulation, a differentiated approach to the subjects, the specific features of the economic model ensuring the efficient land use.
