Challenges in the Use of Geospatial Data for Land Management and Urban Planning (a Case Study of Kyiv)

The current state of territorial organisation and management, as well as spatial development planning, is characterised by the use of diverse geospatial data and geographic information systems. Ukraine’s National Geospatial Data Infrastructure (NGDI) plays a key role in ensuring transparency and efficiency in land resource management and urban development. This article analyses the current state and challenges related to the use of NGDI in regulating land relations, addressing applied tasks in land management, and organising urban planning, using the city of Kyiv as a case study. Particular attention is paid to problems in technical support, data quality, the institutional environment, and legal regulation. A structural-graphic model has been developed to highlight issues in the use of geospatial data in land management and territorial planning, based on the example of Kyiv. These problems are not unique to Ukraine; similar situations have been observed in other countries, including developed ones. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for the sustainable development of Kyiv and other regions of Ukraine, their recovery, and integration into the European geoinformation space.
