THE SPECIFICS OF THE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OF LAND PLOTS THAT ARE STATE AND MUNICIPAL PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRANSFER TO THE POSSESSION AND USE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES

The article is devoted to the analysis of legal mechanisms and management practices governing the transfer of land plots from state and municipal ownership to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The relevance of the study is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of property support for SMEs as a key factor in regional development. The purpose of the work is to identify systemic legal barriers and substantiate the optimal model of land provision based on a comprehensive analysis of legislation. As a result of the study, it was found that the existing legal instruments, in particular, the mechanism of preferential purchase of leased property, does not work in the absence of additional management measures by the authorities to include land in special lists. The main conclusion is that the key problem is not a defect in legal regulation, but its implementation in practice. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematic comparison of the declared goals of SME support and the real administrative priorities of the authorities. In conclusion, specific measures are proposed to increase accountability and transparency in this area.
