The problems of imposing special terms and conditions for land and forest use in Lithuania

Abstract

In addition to the general ecological requirements laid down in the Republic of Lithuania Law on Environmental Protection land parcels are subject to special conditions for land and forest use. These ensure rational use of natural resources as well as safe and healthy living and working environment. Imposing these conditions, therefore, has, at all times, been a topical issue. The article analyses cases of imposing the special conditions, procedures for entering the same in the data base of the Real Property Cadastre and Register, their cartographic representation, as well as providing and updating necessary spatial data in Lithuania. Furthermore, concerning the special restrictions on land and forest use, it gives an overview of data relations to the territorial planning, cadastral surveying and identification of cadastral data. Finally, the article discusses the problems of data update in relation to imposing the special conditions and offers possible solutions.
