Land categories of Russian Federation

Land account (LA) is a system for registering the actual state and use of land. Land is registered by administrative units, land categories, land quality, and land tenants.

LA indicates all changes in land use at the moment of observation and records them in the land cadastre.

Under Article 7 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, all land in the country is divided into seven land categories:

1. Agricultural lands;
2. Settlement lands;
3. Lands of industry, power industry, transport, communications, radio broadcasting, television, informatics and other activities;
4. Specially protected territories;
5. Lands of forest fund;
6. Lands of water fund;
7. Reserve lands.

Land classified under a particular category may be used only for its designated purpose. Depending on the ownership of the land, the right to transfer land from one category to another is vested either in the Russian Government, executive authorities of Russian constituent entities, or in municipalities. Agricultural lands may be transferred from one category to another only by the executive authorities of Russian constituent entities.

Agricultural land

Agriculture is one of the important branches of material production that includes the cultivation of crops and the breeding of animals and their primary processing. Agriculture produces foodstuff for populations and primary products for many branches of industry.

Land is the basic means of production for agriculture. Its special features affect the patterns of concentration and specialization of agricultural production. Living organisms such as plants and animals are also means of production. Both economic and biological laws control development of this branch. Means of production and labor are used seasonally. More than 20% of the gross output of agriculture (seeds, feeds, animal yield) is used in a subsequent production cycle.

Nature reserve land

A nature reserve is a protected area for wildlife, flora, fauna or features of geological or other special interest. Nature reserves are designated by government institutions in some countries, or by private landowners. There are around 100 nature reserves (Russian: zapovednik) in Russia, covering some 330, 000 km² (~127, 400 sq mi), or about 1.4% of the country's total area. A few of them predate the October Revolution of 1917, but most have been created during the Soviet Union era. There are also natural protected areas where only certain species are protected. They are zakazniks.

The status of the protected areas in Russia is governed by the laws of the Russian Federation

The law establishes the following categories of protected areas:

§ State nature zapovedniks, including biosphere reserves (biosphere zapovedniks)

§ National parks

§ Nature parks

§ State nature zakazniks

§ Natural Monuments

§ Dendrological parks and botanical gardens

Land that belongs to urban and rural settlements and other municipal formations is known as municipal property. State property is in the charge of government bodies at the federal or republic level.

The importance of Cadastral surveys

City, town and village governments conduct cadastral surveys which identify the property owner, type of land. Cadastral surveys also include the preparation of maps and books. The cadastral maps and cadastral books are prepared from the results of cadastral surveys. They are submitted to official registration offices where they replace old maps under the Property Registration Law.

Through cadastral surveys, the cadastre (the most fundamental level of information on land) is clarified. Cadastral surveys also contribute to the protection of land-based assets.

It is necessary to promote cadastral surveys as a matter of urgency, and to produce cadastres (the most basic level of information about land) in order to promote effective land use.

The " Cadastral Information System" provides digitized information for areas where cadastral surveys have been completed. The " Cadastral Information System" also maintains and manages land configuration information. The system provides land and housing surveyors, surveying companies and the general public with cadastral maps on land-lots, integrated cadastral maps.

Urban planning

Urban systems are built up from a network of subsystems. Transportation is an example. Food, water, and materials move into a city through subsystems. Unlike natural systems, urban systems have the opposite tendency.

One subsystem works in isolation from all other subsystems. The one-sided development of highways leads to the neglect of transportation as a whole. Builders of suburban tracts work without consideration of the effect of their community on transportation, sewage disposal, water supply, schools, and all of the other parts of the broader urban community. It is the job of the metropolitan planners. But many planners are not trained, and they are ruled by politicians, who often reflect special interest pressures.

Perhaps the greatest failure in urban planning and development is the tendency to forget that the city is the home for the human being. Thus the new housing developments are commonly hated by those who live in them. They seldom function in the way the designers had intended.

A. Canberra

Canberra was established in 1908. It was planned as the capital city of Australia. Canberra is Australia's most notable and ambitious example of civic planning. The city was designed to be the Federal Capital. The new nation required a capital that was located away from other major settlements such as Melbourne and Sydney. Canberra was nothing more than farming land and forest. In 1912 the vision of American Walter Burley Griffin was chosen as the winning design for the city. Unlike some other Australian cities, the road network, suburbs, parks and other elements of the city were designed in context with each other. Notable buildings include the High Court, Federal Parliament, Government House, War Memorial and others.

Brasí lia is approximately at the geographical center of Brazilian territory.

Lú cio Costa, the city's principal architect, designed the city in the shape of an airplane. Houses and offices are situated on giant superblocks, everything following the original plan.

C. Ireland

Northern Ireland

Derry was the first ever planned city in Ireland. Work began on building the new city across the River Foyle from the ancient town of Derry in 1613. The walls were completed five years later in 1618. The central diamond within a walled city with four gates was a good design for defense. In 1963 according to the Matthew Plan the new city of Craigavon was founded out of the original towns of Portadown and Lurgan. This town today lies mostly incomplete because the troubles halted construction.

Republic of Ireland

In the Republic of Ireland the term " new town" is referred to planned towns built after World War II. The term " new town" in Ireland was also used for some earlier developments.

In 1961 the first new town of Shannon was commenced and a target of 6, 000 inhabitants was set. Shannon is an important economic centre (with the Shannon Free Zone and Shannon International Airport).

The most recent new town in Ireland is Adamstown in County Dublin.

D. Italy

In the past centuries several new towns have been planned in Italy. One of the most famous is Pienza, close to Siena, a Renaissance city. Between 1459 and 1462 the most famous architects of Italy worked there for the Pope Pius II and built the city centre of the small town.

Another example of renaissance planned cities is the walled star city of Palmanova.

In early 20th century, during the fascist government of Benito Mussolini, many new cities were founded. The most prominent was Littoria. The city was inaugurated on December 18, 1932. Littoria was populated with immigrants from Northern Italy.

The great Sicilian earthquake of 1693 forced the complete rebuilding on new plans of many towns.

Other well known new cities are located close to Milan in the metropolitan area. In the 1970s in the eastern metropolitan area of Milan a new city was built by Silvio Berlusconi. It is called Milano Due.
