Development of human resource potential in geodesy and land management.

The subject of the study is the process of formation, development and use of human resources in the field of geodesy and land management in the context of transformation of land relations, decentralization of management, digitalization and post-war restoration of the territories of Ukraine. The aim of the study is a comprehensive study of the theoretical and applied principles of human resource development in the field of geodesy and land management in the context of transformation of land relations, decentralization, digitalization, and post-war restoration of the territories of Ukraine in the context of international integration. Research methods. In the research process, a set of general scientific and special methods was used, in particular: the method of analysis and synthesis – to generalize theoretical approaches to the essence of human resources potential in the field of geodesy and land management; a systemic approach – to consider human resources potential as a component of the land resources management system; comparative analysis – to assess the state of the labor market and identify imbalances between the demand and supply of personnel; a structural and functional method – to determine the role and functions of human resources potential in the field of geodesy and land management; an institutional approach – to study the influence of the education system, professional certification and the labor market on the formation of human resources potential; a generalization method – to formulate conclusions and develop recommendations for the development of human resources potential. The use of these methods ensured the comprehensiveness of the research and the validity of the results obtained. Results of work. The article examines the theoretical and applied foundations of human resource potential development in the field of geodesy and land management under the conditions of transformation of land relations, decentralization of governance, digitalization, and post-war recovery of Ukrainian territories. Scientific approaches to the interpretation of human resource potential are generalized as a set of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of personnel that determine their ability to ensure the effective performance of professional functions within the land resource management system. It is substantiated that human resource potential in geodesy and land management is a strategic resource that determines the quality of land cadastre maintenance, land management documentation development, spatial planning, land valuation, as well as control over land use and protection. The current state of the labor market in the field of geodesy and land management is analyzed on the basis of data from the State Employment Service of Ukraine, which made it possible to identify imbalances between labor demand and supply, a shortage of specialists in territorial communities, especially in rural areas, and uneven staffing across individual professional groups. It is determined that a modern land management specialist should possess not only professional knowledge in the field of land relations, cadastral accounting, and land management, but also managerial, digital, and interdisciplinary competencies. The importance of integrating geographic information systems, remote sensing, digital cadastres, and spatial analytics into the educational process and continuing professional development system is emphasized. The expediency of a comprehensive approach to the development of human resource potential in the field of geodesy and land management is substantiated, including modernization of educational programs, strengthening practice-oriented and dual education, development of postgraduate education, expansion of stakeholder interaction, support for young specialists, and intensification of international partnership. It has been proven that the implementation of these measures will contribute to the formation of a competitive human resource pool capable of ensuring effective management of land resources, spatial development of territories, and fulfillment of the tasks of Ukraine’s post-war recovery.
