Estimating the Cost of Drained Lands by Using Them in Variable Conditions

Abstract

The article is devoted to a topical scientific problem in modern conditions – valuation of land in Ukraine. A methodology for determining the market value of reclaimed land based on a differentiated assessment of its productivity through crop yields is proposed, taking into account natural and climatic zones and other conditions of a particular region. The basis of the methodology is the application of long-term forecast and a set of forecast and simulation models, in particular the model of area climatic conditions and the model of water regime and water regulation technologies on reclaimed land. The proposed approaches were tested by the method of large – scale machine experiment using a land plot in the zone of Western Polesie of Ukraine as the example. The obtained results indicate that there is a differentiation in land value, which is a proportional derivative of the yield of cultivated crops depending on the conditions of their cultivation.
