摘要：Agriculture is a complex and unstable system, the successful development of which firstly depends on the purposeful and integrated interaction of natural, social and historical conditions. Land cadastral provision acts as a guarantor of agricultural production growth, builds a socially favorable environment for the development of economic processes planned by the state. The aim of the study was to substantiate the need to improve the organizational and economic mechanism of agricultural land registration, land management and land cadastral works. Degradation processes, which have become widespread in the territory of Staropoltavsky district of Volgograd region — deflation (20.8% of agricultural land area) and salinization (30.8%) have impact on living standards and population numbers. The presence of unused arable land in 67% of rural settlements indicates the inefficiency of the monitoring and accounting system, and the presence of 39% of low-productive land indicates the untimely implementation of rehabilitation and reclamation work. The established value of the cadastral land value specific indicator (CLVSI) determines the system of economic impact in the form of land tax, rent, and other payments. The CLVSI value does not correspond to the arable quality in 50% of territory. With the help of geoinformation technologies, the boundaries and area of 16 neighborhoods and 8 settlements within the Gmelinsky rural settlement were confirmed, the total area of which is 1359.0 ha. The decrease in area amounts to 1.0%. The discrepancy in land areas according to statistical data and estimate materials amounted to 38329 hectares or 68.5%.
