THE NEED FOR AGRICULTURAL LAND-USE PLANNING IN BULGARIA
Abstract
The main difficulties nowadays in Bulgaria in agricultural land governance, land administration and land management stem from weaknesses in the legal framework. To this can be added the historically accumulated lack of interest in land stewardship and the inherited soil degradation processes. Nowadays chaotic land use does not provide territorial conditions for taking advantage of modern agricultural technologies. The socio-economic development requires complicated interaction between the private, state, municipal, and public interests in agricultural land-use. The main issues are the protection of land tenure, conservation of soils, protection of the environment, and economic prosperity of the farms and regions. Solving them requires a number of activities such as conducting research on soil quality and their condition; land capacity assessment; land valuation, development of agricultural cadastre; taking measures to limit the processes of soil degradation, protection of the environment and the landscape and as a basis for all these activities - agricultural land-use planning. The purpose of the paper is to present the results of a questionnaire among professionals and producers in agriculture, to make an analysis and to draw conclusions about the need for agricultural land-use planning. With a critical approach of the authors, new principles and new characteristics of agricultural land use planning have been developed.
