Aims and Scope
Mission and Objectives
The scientific and professional journal “Land Management, Cadastre and Land Monitoring” was established as a professional platform for publishing advanced, evidence-based, and methodologically robust research in the field of land resource governance and territorial development. The mission of the journal is not only to document research outputs, but also to shape a contemporary agenda for science, professional practice, and public administration.
Key objectives of the journal:
1. Advancing research in land management and cadastre
Supporting fundamental and applied research in land management, land and urban cadastre, and the monitoring of land and natural resources.
2. Integrating science, education, and professional practice
Strengthening interaction among researchers, educational institutions, project organisations, public authorities, and practitioners to translate research outcomes into practical governance and technological solutions.
3. Disseminating innovative technologies and methods
Presenting and critically analysing modern geodetic, geoinformation, remote-sensing, and digital technologies applied in land management, cadastre, inventory, and monitoring systems.
4. Providing scientific and methodological support for land resource governance
Developing evidence-based approaches to planning, use, and protection of land and territories, including valuation, standard setting, regulation, and risk management.
5. Supporting sustainable development and environmental responsibility
Promoting the implementation of sustainable land-use principles, rational nature management, environmental safety, and the restoration of land resources.
6. Providing analytical support for national and local policy
Delivering scientifically grounded recommendations and analytical materials for the modernisation of land, cadastre, urban planning, and environmental policy.
7. Building a professional scholarly community
Supporting open professional debate and the exchange of research findings; providing a venue for the appraisal of scientific and applied developments with high requirements for quality, integrity, and reproducibility.
