Scientific work, scientific schools
Scientific work is an integral part of the work of the department. In accordance with this, the department takes an active part in competitive selections of scientific projects. The range of scientific interests of the department's scientists includes problems related to: reforming the system of land resources bodies in the context of decentralization of power; forming the institutional environment and market structure of the land system of Ukraine through territorial land use planning; substantiating the institutional principles of planning sustainable use and protection of agricultural lands; conceptual principles of forming economically efficient and environmentally safe agricultural land tenure and land use in market conditions; development of rural areas; rational use and protection of lands.
The scientific and pedagogical staff of the department, together with the Department of Geodesy and Cartography, have been conducting scientific research for many years. In particular, their scientific achievements have been embodied in scientific and research works (hereinafter referred to as R&D) of the following direction: “Field edges in agricultural landscapes of different natural zones of Ukraine. General provisions” (SOU 73.10-37-549:2007); “Phytobiotic diversity in agricultural landscape. General provisions” (SOU 73.10-37-550:2007); 2008-2010 – “Substantiation of restrictions and burdens in market agricultural land use and their ecological and economic assessment” (№110/288-pr – №0108U001667); 2011-2013. – “Develop scientific principles for ensuring environmental safety when using especially valuable lands in the context of the transformation of land and agrarian relations” (№110/418-pr – №0111U003698); 2013-2017 – “Scientific principles for solving land management problems in rural areas based on geoinformation and cartographic modeling of land use parameters” (№110/57-f – №0113U003829); 2017-2019 – “Concept of creating a register of especially valuable lands as a mechanism for maintaining environmental safety when using them” (№110/96-pr – №0117U002546); 2018-2020 – “The latest concept for creating a digital Atlas of the value of land in Ukraine – a tool for regulating market land relations and spatial development” (110/1-f 2018 – No. 0118U000291); 2021-2023 – “Socio-economic challenges of decentralization processes and land management reform for Ukrainian villages” (BF/39-2021 – 0121U113571).
Scientific research by scientists of the department is also carried out in cooperation with the State Institution "Institute of Land Use of the NAAS". This scientific institution is the base for practical training of students even after completion of their studies.
Since the foundation of the department, scientific and pedagogical workers have been training scientific personnel. In total, 7 doctors of economic sciences, 14 candidates of economic sciences have been trained in the specialty 08.00.06 - "Economics of environmental management and environmental protection". Currently, the department is training 5 candidates for the scientific degree of Doctor of Philosophy (third educational and scientific level of higher education) - field of knowledge 05 "Social and behavioral sciences", specialty 051 "Economics", direction of training - "Economics of environmental management and environmental protection". The training of scientific personnel is carried out by Doctor of Economic Sciences, Prof. Dorosh O.S., Doctor of Economic Sciences, Assoc. Prof. Kupriyanchyk I.P., Candidate of Economic Sciences, Assoc. Prof. Butenko E.V.
In total, the scientific and pedagogical staff of the department have published about 600 scientific works, of which 37 monographs, 2 textbooks, 20 manuals, and more than 120 educational and methodological publications. The lion's share of the works was published in the scientific and practical journal "Land Management, Cadastre and Land Monitoring" of the National University of Sciences of Ukraine. Only during 2021-2022, they published 25 articles. Currently, systematic work is underway to include the journal in international scientometric databases - Scopus, Web of Science. This process is being actively implemented by members of the editorial board - Doctor of Economics, Prof. Dorosh O.S., Doctor of Economics, Assoc. Prof. Kupriyanchyk I.P. and Executive Secretary - Candidate of Economics, Assoc. Prof. Butenko E.V. An application has been submitted for inclusion of the electronic version of the journal in the Web of Science. Currently, the journal is included and indexed in such international bibliographic databases as: DOAG, Index Copernicus, Ulrichsweb, CrossRef, ResearchBib, EBSCO Publishing, EuroPub, DRJI, JurnalTOCs, WorldCat, Google Scholar, MIAR, BASE, EZB, SIS. The scientific output of the department includes about 50 publications included in the scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science.
The department actively involves young students in its research work, which greatly facilitates their completion of course and master's theses, and the practice of students participating in speeches at international and all-Ukrainian scientific conferences and seminars (preparing reports and publishing abstracts of reports) is used. The department has a scientific group "Automated methods of geodetic works in land management". Young students are annually involved in national competitions of student scientific works.
The department's staff, graduate students and students of the "Master" OS conduct research in the following areas:
reforming the system of land resources bodies in the context of decentralization of power; forming the institutional environment and market structure of the land management of Ukraine through territorial land use planning;
state regulation of environmental safety in land use;
