analytical approach to the accounting of settlement lands: A case study of Mirishkor District
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the legal, technical, and organizational aspects of accounting for settlement lands, with a specific focus on the Mirishkor district. It seeks to assess how settlement lands are classified, distributed, and managed, and to identify current challenges in maintaining accurate land records. Research methodology: The research applies geostatistical analysis, geospatial object mapping, remote sensing, cartographic tools, and algorithmic approaches. These methods are used to evaluate land use distribution, monitor settlement expansion, and improve land accounting systems. Results: The findings reveal that Mirishkor district contains 16,359 household plots totaling 4,494 hectares, with an average size of 0.27 hectares per plot. Of this, 797 hectares are occupied by residential buildings. The study recommends implementing a unified geospatial cadastral system, improving the address registry, and digitizing land accounting processes to better monitor and manage settlement lands.
