Land consolidation – an important stage of agricultural and rural development. This is a significant land use planning process, when private, municipal and state land parcels located in rural areas are redistributed in a complex way, their boundaries and location are changed by the prepared land consolidation project of a certain area. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the benefits of land consolidation to farm structure and productivity, restructuring of rural areas and development, but there is not enough emphasis on the benefits of our environment, landscape and biodiversity. Experience of European countries shows that the land consolidation projects can be useful not only for farmers, but also for our environment and its individual components. The article gives an overview of not only the positive aspects of environmental preservation. The fact that the land consolidation projects can bring negative results (i.e. that they are implemented without regard to the sustainable transformation of the territory) is noted as well.

The article highlights the issue of accuracy of determining of the zones of restricted use of the territories along the transmission lines taking into account the magnetic field influence around the wires of transmission line during the passage of electric current. The procedure of establishing of such zones near transmission lines requires a clear substantiation of limits of physical parameters of the electric and magnetic fields` influence of transmission lines on human resources and environment that leads to the establishment of scientifically based boundaries of safe and rational management of land use. The authors` task was the substantiation of a mathematical expression that describes the relationship between the accuracy of determining the radius of dissemination of the magnetic field along the transmission lines and physical parameters of the magnetic field. As a result of the conducted research the formulas for determining the standard deviation (SD) of the radius of dissemination of the magnetic field were presented taking into account the value of magnetic induction, capacity, voltage and amperage that were inherent to the particular transmission line.

Land use regulation is one of the most important state tasks and is aimed to ensuring the sustainable development of settlements. One of the mechanisms to solve this task is land use limitations establishment by restricted the possibility to carry out some activities, on certain territories or separate land plots, which would lead to negative ecological and social consequences. Such activity is becoming more and more urgent in the face of increasing ecological problems. Land use limitations could be considering in different areas. On one hand, the feasibility of land use is governing by the methods of spatial planning, based on natural and anthropogenic conditions. On the other hand, land use limitations are the result of location of object is which could be either source of negative influence or the object is requiring being protected (mode-forming objects). The aim of the article is to determine the impact of land use limitations on the various components of society, taking into account the environmental, economic and social components of sustainable development. Environmental and socioeconomic impact of land use limitations formation on the example of limitations caused by the activity of a mode-forming object is described in the study. The results of the study illustrate that the establishment of limitations on the land use can solve mainly environmental and social problems.
