Land Resources Use and Management

Bukhara State Technical University
Field of Study: Land Resources Use and Management

Overview

Land resources play an important role in ensuring the country's economic development, food security, and environmental sustainability. The Land Resources Use and Management program at Bukhara State Technical University trains highly qualified specialists in the rational use of the land fund, land management, land monitoring, land cadastre, and the effective management of land resources based on modern geoinformation technologies. The curriculum is developed based on international standards, modern GIS technologies, and best practices in land management, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience.

What will you learn?

• Fundamentals of Land Resource Management – management of the land fund, land relations, and principles of efficient land use.
• Land Management – territorial planning, formation of land plots, and development of land management projects.
• Land Cadastre – state registration of land plots, accounting, valuation, and maintenance of cadastral documentation.
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) – collecting, analyzing, and managing spatial data, and creating digital maps.
• Remote Sensing – monitoring and analyzing land resources based on satellite and drone imagery.
• Land Monitoring and Environmental Assessment – assessing soil condition, identifying degradation processes, and organizing environmental monitoring.
• Land Legislation and Legal Relations – legislation regulating the use of land resources, land law, and state policy.

What will the student achieve?

Graduates will gain professional knowledge and practical skills in managing land resources, developing land management projects, conducting land monitoring, and analyzing land resources using modern geoinformation technologies. They will acquire the ability to work with GIS software, satellite data, and geodetic equipment, assess land plots, plan territories, and organize the rational use of land resources. In addition, they will develop as qualified specialists in the field of land relations and territorial management.
