Peculiarities of the land use in the Ignalina district Meironys one-street (linear) village

Summary/Abstract: Since 1991 with the start of the restitutional reform of land reorganization, the groups of agricultural land users were rapidly changing: the categories of state land users de- creased and the areas of private agricultural land used by farmers and natural and legal persons grew. Land reform is a state reorganization of land relations that changes land dependence and use. The article analyses the progress of the Meironys (linear) village land reform and land use possibilities. Historical factors and the natural landscape determine the peculiarities of the use of the land in the linear village. There are 207 linear villages in Ignalina district. When preparing the land reform land management plan of the Meironys linear village, it was decided to design the land and the forest in strips of land as it is currently being done. The rural area was divided into four parts, and the applicants wanted to get a mature forest that belonged to them before privatization. In villages, especially in linear ones, where productivity is low, land is inefficient, and land use is usually extensive. Owners value the land not according to its productivity, but as a material value, where the use is more recreational. in less-favoured areas, landowners are mainly engaged in rural tourism.
