THE ECONOMIC MECHANISM OF ECOLOGICALLY SAFE LAND USE IN UKRAINE

Abstract

At the end of XX century the land was state owned and land plots were provided for use  free of charge. However, the legislation did not abolish taxes and fees to cover the costs on the maintenance and improvement of land. The principle of free land usage, attached to a latent form of payment through the taxation system, prevented the formation of the efficient economic mechanism of the land relations regulation and was a contributing factor to inefficient land usage.

The existing economic mechanism has been formed in such a way that in relation to land resources it mostly functions with negative ecological results, because of containing such economic regulators that not always limit the destruction of land.

Fiscal payments, which contribute to the accumulation of financial resources, are the example of such regulators. Herewith, for the subjects of land tenure it is more profitable to pay these payments than to spend money on land protection or the implementation of ecologically safe methods of land usage. As a result, government expenditures on land protection and rational land use are insufficient, while the income from land usage increases and becomes a considerable part of national economy income.
