On the issue of establishment and changes of boundaries of administrative and territorial units

Abstract

The presence of crisis tendencies in the issues of establishing and changing the boundaries of the territories of settlements and territorial communities has been stated. It was emphasized that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has adopted 24 orders on the definition of administrative centers and approval of territorial communities. It is noted that the share of established and changed boundaries of settlements is over 73%. In fact, the boundaries of settlements are included in the data of the State Land Cadastre is 32%. Such situations lead to the fact that a significant number of administrative-territorial units do not have established boundaries. This makes it impossible to achieve the goals of development of settlements and territorial communities. At the same time, the boundaries of most settlements and territorial communities are not established, and when changing boundaries there are issues that require a better system of legal documents that would regulate scientifically sound establishment (change) of boundaries that affect community regulation of environmental and economically acceptable use lands. A number of changes to the normative-legal documents are proposed: preliminary registration in the SCC of the project boundaries of the territories of settlements and territorial communities; create opportunities to check the XML exchange file to establish (change) the boundaries of administrative-territorial units; establishing (changing) boundaries should be carried out taking into account the principles of "public administration", namely the self-organization of civil society. Key words: administrative-territorial unit, territorial community boundary, settlement boundary, State Land Cadastre.
