Modern Challenges in the Regulation of Land Relations: Historical and Legal Analysis

THE IDEA OF THE PROJECT

The program is aimed at studying the problems of regulating land relations, taking into account modern challenges through the prism of historical development (how historical changes in land policy and legislation influenced the current situation), legal mechanisms, features of regional conditions to ensure sustainability, social justice and economic development in the long term, development of scientifically based proposals and practical recommendations for the effective implementation of land decisions.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

Development of issues of historiography and history of land relations research in the territory of Northern Kazakhstan

Consideration of issues of land relations in the historical past and modern times

Determination of the economic essence and content of land relations in the studied region, disclosure of the features of their development in historical retrospect

Determination of the historical stages of the formation and development of forms of land ownership and management in the region, development of proposals providing for the creation by the state of organizational conditions of management in order to realize the rights of ownership and use of land

Preparation of a comprehensive description of the current state of development of land relations in the region, determination of the efficiency of agricultural land use, the state of land turnover, their qualitative characteristics

Preparation of proposals to improve the economic mechanism for regulating land relations, in particular, cadastral valuation of land, land tax, rent

Development of proposals to improve the mechanism of turnover of agricultural land, including lease relations

To study, based on the analysis of archival materials, the involvement of Kazakh nomads in the modernization process, which involved the creation of a qualitatively new system of administrative-territorial, socio-legal, judicial, and economic structure of the Kazakh steppe

To identify the results of agricultural and national policy, subjective and objective factors that have had a significant impact on this process

To consider the problem of peasant and Cossack colonization of the region and their consequences for the traditional Kazakh society
