State register of agricultural lands in information support for assessing the resource potential of agricultural land use

In the article, the authors consider the possible place of information contained in the state register of agricultural lands in the process of information support for assessing the resource potential of agricultural land use. The composition of the information included in the state register of agricultural lands, according to regulatory documents, is considered in detail. The information contained in the register has been compared, as well as the data necessary to calculate the resource potential and its individual parts, such as soil, natural, production, market and geographical potentials. It is concluded that if the register of agricultural lands is filled in in a timely and complete manner with the semantic information that it should contain, this data will be sufficient to determine the soil and production potentials. Also, some of the registry data can be used in the process of assessing natural and geographical potentials, but a full assessment of these components of the resource potential requires the involvement of other sources of information. The data from the state register of agricultural lands are absolutely not suitable for assessing the market potential. As a result, the authors conclude that the state register of agricultural lands is used to assess the resource potential of land use.
