The Use of Modern Software Solutions in the Recognition of Rights to Unlawfully Occupied Land Plots and to Buildings and Structures Constructed thereon

Abstract. This article examines one of the most pressing issues in the field of cadastre: arbitrarily occupied land plots, the buildings and structures constructed on them, the legal procedures for granting rights to such properties, and the role of specialized software in accelerating and simplifying these processes. The study highlights the increasing relevance of this topic in connection with ongoing land reforms and the growing need for transparent and efficient land administration systems.To ensure comprehensive coverage of the subject, the article makes extensive use of modern GIS technologies and high-resolution satellite imagery. These tools enable accurate identification of unauthorized land occupation, assessment of existing structures, and verification of land use patterns. Using advanced geospatial techniques, the article provides an in-depth analysis of the process of “Recognition of rights to arbitrarily occupied land plots and buildings and structures built on them,” demonstrating how digital technologies contribute to improving the reliability and efficiency of cadastral workflows.Aerial photography materials from 2018, which provide full coverage of the entire territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, serve as one of the key data sources in the research. These images were used to study, compare, and analyze land occupancy dynamics and to validate the accuracy of cadastral records.Furthermore, the article provides detailed information on the concept of cadastre, the structure and purpose of state cadastres, and the procedures for their maintenance. It discusses existing challenges in the cadastral sector, including issues related to data integration, outdated records, and technological limitations. The paper also outlines current advancements and solutions that are being implemented to address these challenges and improve land management practices.Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating modern GIS tools, satellite data, and advanced software platforms into the cadastral system, highlighting their critical role in supporting transparent, reliable, and efficient recognition of property rights to arbitrarily occupied land plots and the structures located on them.
