Maakorraldusega

Maakorraldusega refers to land management and administration in Estonia. It encompasses a range of activities and processes aimed at organizing, regulating, and utilizing land resources efficiently and sustainably. This includes land surveying, cadastral registration, land reform, land use planning, and land valuation. The primary goal of maakorraldusega is to ensure that land is used in a way that benefits society, the economy, and the environment.

Key aspects of maakorraldusega include the establishment and maintenance of the land cadastre, which is a comprehensive register of all land parcels, their boundaries, ownership, and intended use. Land surveying is crucial for accurately determining and demarcating land parcels. Land reform processes, particularly following Estonia's independence, involved the restitution and privatization of land that had been nationalized. Land use planning guides the development and utilization of land for various purposes, such as residential, agricultural, industrial, and recreational areas.

The Estonian Land Board (Maa-amet) is the central government authority responsible for overseeing maakorraldusega. It plays a vital role in developing and implementing land policy, managing the land cadastre, and providing land-related information and services. Effective maakorraldusega is essential for economic development, secure property rights, and the sustainable management of Estonia's natural resources. It contributes to orderly rural and urban development and facilitates investment and economic activity by providing clear land ownership and use information.
