Digitalization and its impact on land use in rural areas

Aim - to present the current level of information support for agricultural land use, problems and propose ways to solve them based on the use of digital technologies. Methods - monographic in order to study foreign experience, digital innovations in agricultural production, analytical - when analyzing the state of land assets and availability of unused agricultural land, statistical - for collecting and processing information in the context of research objects, cartographic - when considering land ownership schemes, monitoring and detecting negative changes, as well as developing predictive solutions to eliminate them. Results - the practice of foreign countries in using digital infrastructure in the process of forming land resources has proven the need for their use in the republic to build a model of sustainable development of rural areas. It has been determined that digitalization plays a key role in modern land management. The data content in information systems has been analyzed. It was revealed that from 2018-2021 about 208 billion tenge was allocated for digital transformation, however, despite costs, effectiveness of this program was low. It is noted that the volume of provision of electronic public services in the online format has been brought to 90% (with a plan of 60%). The advantages and potential opportunities for introduction of geoinformation technologies in digital land use are justified. The main barrier to digital modernization of agriculture remains the poor provision of the Internet in rural areas. Conclusions - agricultural land sector is fully covered by digital updating based on the use of GIS technologies. The stages of creating agricultural map for diagnosing uncultivated land are displayed. However, there are a number of shortcomings in ensuring effective management of the land fund for its rational use.
