The space of rural areas is subject to constant changes in terms of structure and development. The area structure of rural areas, especially in the south and east of Poland, remains unsatisfactory. The weakness of Polish agriculture is the fragmentation of the area structure of its farms; this was due to historical, natural, economic and social factors and, to a large extent, tradition. Therefore, the current status of agricultural land in Poland requires carrying out many arrangement and agricultural operations. In Ukraine, there is also no coherent IT system that would allow for the efficient management of rural space and agriculture. In order to conduct a coherent rural development policy in the region, the self-governments in Poland and in Ukraine are facing the need to expand the existing spatial information infrastructure system. This study is a proposal to expand the spatial information system with elements related only to agricultural surveying. To this end, the concept of building the Agricultural Geodesy Module was created as an element of the region’s spatial information system. The Agricultural Land Surveying Module will be an information repository and will enable powering the region’s database. Data supplying the repository will be divided into source data, operational data, metadata and final studies, such as analyses or reports. These data will not only be used by the local government of the region, but will also be made available to external users.

Aim of the study: The paper is devoted to investigation of the prospects of eco-innovative agricultural production in Ukraine by cultivating niche crops for protection and restoration of potential of fertility of soils and development of the export potential a number of niche crops. Material...

Since the early days, cadastral data represent the geographic extent of the past, current, and future rights and interests in real property. Thus, these data are extremely important for the proper development of statehood and society. The article analyses the process of formation of the real estate cadastre in two countries – Poland and Ukraine – from the time of its establishment to the present. Both countries were in the past (and Ukraine still is) victims of various historical events that deprived them of statehood, stability and opportunities for development; therefore, it affected the development of the cadastre and its accessibility to all stakeholders. The authors attempt to answer the question of if and how geographic location and historical conditions can affect the quality and availability of open cadastral data (OCD). After all, our perception of reality is a direct result of processes originating in history. This paper contains comparisons between a post-Soviet (Ukraine) and a post-communist country (Poland) and their path from early cadastral maps to OCD.

The paper reviews the state of research of wave processes in hydraulic systems of machines, and their impact on the quality and stability of hydraulic drives. As noted in the works of previous researchers, these phenomena occur in hydraulic systems and adversely affect the quality and stability of their work, significantly reducing reliability. The method of construction of mathematical models is offered. A mathematical model of the hydraulic system with two series-connected hydraulic motors is built, taking into account transients. The Runge-Kutta-Feldberg method with automatic change of the integration step was used to solve this model. The application of this method makes it possible to estimate the amplitude and frequency of the pressure wave in real time for each part of the pipeline. As a result of the analysis of the obtained transients it was concluded that at the length of the pressure line in a group hydraulic drive with 2 series-connected hydraulic motors up to 1.5 m, wave processes do not significantly affect the system and in the mathematical model they can be ignored. With the length of the pressure line from 1.5 m to 9 m, the wave processes in the cavity do not affect the stability of the system, although significantly impair the quality of its work. Hydraulic systems with a pressure line length of more than 9 m are not recommended for implementation, because the wave processes in the cavity lead to vibrations and noise in the hydraulic system and require additional measures to eliminate the impact of this phenomenon.

The article studies a methodic approach to the assessment of the types of balanced land use of rural areas based on the analytic hierarchy process in the context of sustainable development. In particular, the authors of the research present the assessment and trends of changes of the indicators of land use greening, which is the most sensitive element of sustainable development. To identify the directions of land use greening, the authors make a comparative assessment of the actual and standard (maximum) ecological parameters of land use on the territory of Trybukhivtsi amalgamated territorial community. Ploughness of the territory exceeds the norm by 22.5%; the share of perennial plants, hayfields and grassland in the total area of agricultural lands is by 12.5% below the norm; the share of forest cover is 9.5% lower than the norm required by law. Therefore, the authors propose a hierarchy structure of alternative types of planning the balanced development of land use for the studied territory. Based on the results of interrogated specialists and the conducted expert estimates, the researchers got a score of assessment criteria/subcriteria and priority alternatives of the land use types. The assessment of criteria/subcriteria and alternative types of the balanced land use development was used to compose comparative assessment matrixes and to identify and wyznaczthe priority vectors of land use planning by territorial communities. It is marked. Please note that the mentioned methodic approach can be used for determining the priorities of rural area development, which can be achieved by different measures. Rational combination of the priorities will shape the policy of sustainable development of rural areas.
