INTRODUCTION Paragraph 3 of Article 3 of the Code envisages that

The awareness of the benefits underground space can the property relationships of possession, use and disposal bring is a first step towards a systematic use of underground of land plots are to be governed by the civil legislation space [9]. unless otherwise specified by the land, forestry, water,

The legal regulation of the mentioned relationships subsoil legislation. The law recognizes a land plot as the does not fully take into account the features of subsurface two-dimensional object, so the question is in its possible structures as objects of law. This is particular true for Russia admission as a part of the Earth surface (subsurface). In N. and other countries, where the development of underground Mukhitdinov's opinion, the Earth surface can be viewed as spaces is slower than in other densely populated countries the upper boundary of the subsoil only when the minerals [3, 5]. But even in populous China, underground rights located in the depth of the earth have underground exits [15]. representing a special form of land use are the cause of It is thought, such formulation of the question was urgent only ownership disputation nowadays [11, 7]. This leads to the for the Soviet legislation, which did not stipulate a special inefficiency of subsoil use in general, to the environmental type of subsoil use for the construction and maintenance of problems and to the emergence of conflicts of interests of the underground objects (with emphasis on underground space). concerned parties. In Russia, despite the introduction of the new Law

This is used. The materials of the study are legal norms, normative circumstance causes difficulties in the practice. At the same acts, laws, judicial practice and doctrine.

of view, the constructions are objects put into operation, or objects recognized by the State as finished construction facilities if a commissioning permit is not required.

So, no doctrine, no legislator can give us an understandable, clear concept of subsurface structure reflecting its volumetric nature and also legal specifics connected not only with "horizontal" but "vertical" ownership rights. As the saying goes, no definition of the object - no undisputed right to it. Nevertheless, there is also a point of view that the three-dimensional property is less a problem of legal definition and more a problem of delineation [16].

Thus, I find two problematic issues which need to be addressed.

DISCUSSION

O. Burlachenko expresses an opinion that the special role of the land plot in the immovable property system arises from the physical impossibility of exploitation of other real estate facilities without using a surface, and this causes a certain "priority" of the land plot over another absolutely unmovable property object in the form of subsurface parcel. In his view, mentioned impossibility and other interconnections do not arise in relation to subsurface plot at all [4]. The author does not take into account the interrelationships between the objects involved. The immovable property system factually deals with a deepening (under the Earth's surface). So, the subsoil parcel (not the land plot) plays the main role in the system. Therefore, the subsoil parcel right has to get the priority. The fact that not only a new physical thing has been created in the form of a subsurface structure, but a new object of civil rights appear in this connection, makes it necessary to analyze it from a perspective of a complex thing. Article 134 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for the rule on combining several diverse objects used for a single purpose into a complex thing, considered as one thing and one object of law. The effect of a deal made with respect to the complex thing concerns all it component parts, unless otherwise stipulated by the contract.

The complex thing cannot consist of such "natural" real property units as a land plot and subsurface plot. The last one, along with the land plot, is called upon to serve as an organizational center with legal linkages for the facility (subsurface construction) in space. Mostly, in fact, the upper boundary of the subsurface site provided for the construction of an underground structure happens to be the lower boundary of the surface above it. And although the current legislation of the Russian Federation "tears" the subsurface site and related land plot, that is, identifies them as separate objects of law, nevertheless, the subsurface site has its own mission to maintain the newly constructed subsurface formation.

The immovable property items (subsurface site and adjoining land plot) may be used as the basis or territory (space), where the location of any complex thing is possible. S. A. Stepanov believes that the underground building activity for commercial purposes (for instance, creating shopping center or manufactory owned by an individual or collective merchant on the right for private ownership) inevitably requires fundamentally different legal regulation in the sphere of the subsoil use [24, 6]. He cites a case, an example from judicial practice illustrating the fact of existence of the underground construction which leads, in his opinion, to the termination of the legal fate of a subsurface site as single immovable object, and includes in the free civil-law turnover another object, namely a subsurface structure.

Granting a subsoil parcel in use assumes obtaining the license by the user according to the procedure established by law. The mineral water well in the form of a hydraulic construction does not belong to the category "subsoil" and such kind of facility are not to be excluded from the civil circulation. As follows from the case, recognition of a subsurface parcel as an integral part of a complex thing would mean not only its "legal death" that is end, discontinuance of an object of law, but also the termination of the subsoil use right, the main purpose of which is the construction and

maintenance of a subsurface structure._

The current legislation (covering the Law of the Russian Federation dated February 21, 1992 No. 2395-1 "On Subsoil" modified by the Law of December 8, 2020 N 429-FZ) does not provide for a legal ground for the termination of the subsoil use right and de le lata does not stipulate any conveyancing (circulability) of such objects. The last aspect matters. Under any circumstances, underground space without or with a subsurface structure in it, has its own strategic importance.

In my view, the subsurface site should not form a part of a complex thing, and, respectively, should not cease its legal existence, because we must consider the "ratio legis" of the norm about complex thing provided by Article 134 of the Civil Code: as stated above, the assembly of the components is recognized as one thing, and the effect of the transaction, made with respect to the thing, concerns all its integral parts. Here the subsurface parcel just performs the same organizational and spatial functions for the any complex located within it, as the ones performed by the land plot for complexes located above the surface. In addition, it must also be noted that the assignment of a subsurface parcel to the complex thing would be contrary to Article 1.2 of the Law "On Subsoil", according to which the subsurface sites cannot be the subject of purchase, sale, donation, inheritance, deposit, pledge or alienate in another form. The lawmaker himself considers the subsurface structure and the serving subsurface site as various independent objects of law.

Abroad, science already develops actively in this direction. The options for introducing the information about subsurface facilities into modern information state systems are different. For example, it can be a complete three-dimensional cadaster or three-dimensional maps in the current cadastral system (Denmark), a mixture of these options (Norway), the cadaster of engineering networks (at the stage of pilot projects in several European countries) [2628].

The factors influencing the location of objects created in the underground space are different. They can be city parameters (area, length, altitude, etc.), relief, natural, geological and hydrological conditions; functional purpose of different zones and patterns of built-up areas. In turn, these factors are closely related to the solution of the issue of legal regulation and cadastral registration. The allocation of land plots for the placement of underground constructions requires the registration of rights to the land plot and cartographic mapping. But, in accordance with the current Russian legislation, a land plot is a part of the Earth surface, and the ground part of land plots is not necessarily granted for the functioning of subsurface facilities. There arise the problem of determining the legal status of subsurface spaces and facilities located in them, as well as that of registering the rights to them, taking into account not area but space (volume). Positioning software allows the obtaining highly accurate three-dimensional geospatial data in the real time mode. Three-dimensional digital models provide for high and visual quality of visualization of terrain at the expense of the volumetric image of a situation, expand possibilities of taking the effective architectural and town-planning decisions.

Underground technical networks can cross the plots of different owners. The lack of information on the exact location of such objects causes difficulties in the division of plots as well as determining restrictions and rights [1, 2]. In relation to indoor spaces in complex constructions, the right to the size and not to the entire volume is actually registered now. The possibility of determining the rights of the owner for the external space around a building is absent.

Subsurface plots, underground shopping malls cannot be reliably displayed in a flat projection. Subsequently, this makes it impossible to record not only underground but other objects, for example, complexes overhanging above someone's territory. There is a case, in the Vladikavkaz city it was necessary to fulfill an order for surveying (geodesic-cadastral works) of a medieval fortress hanging on a rock OECD: 5.05 Law; ASJC: 3308; WoS Subject Categories: OM

and projecting onto a neighboring registered land plot, so this fact impeded the possibility of registering a fortress [20, 12].

The Public cadastral map as a reference and information service can show the location of the land plots by adding the flat coordinates of their boundaries to the cadaster, which allows observe the area, configuration, etc. However, information on the relief and vertical boundaries of the underground constructions and parcels involved cannot be reflected. The Russian State Cadaster as a national information system has the most complete and reliable information about the recorded and registered immovable property, but it is executed in a system of flat rectangular coordinates, which does not allow the correct registration of spatial objects, such as underground road junctions, tunnels, subways. In other words, the modern Russian cadaster is two-dimensional. At one point, the registering body had to refuse to provide the information from the official Register to the buyer of one of the Moscow buildings because of the local collector under it, so that it was impossible to identify the object located at the same address in the Registry [26].

Basically, the situation is similar in Slovenia, Romania, Brazil, Pakistan and most other countries where the two-dimensional Cadaster forms the main type of the State Registry, bearing in mind the presence of historical, political, economic and cultural context [22, 10, 19, 23, 17, 18].

Thus, one of the main drawbacks of the Russian Public Cadaster is the absence of subsurface facilities which are spatial objects. The Register does not allow clearly seeing underground pipes, multilevel complexes of non-standard form. This limits the ability to register rights for them and generates various questions concerning property rights.

CONCLUSION

The Law of the Russian Federation dated February 21, 1992 No. 2395-1 "On Subsoil" should provide a clear concept for the development of underground space reflecting the fundamental principles on the legal capacity of the subsurface structure owners and users, the legal system of transfer and registration of mining rights, as well as the limitations and encumbrances.

An integrated amendment package to improve the mining and civil legislation is needed, including the Law dated February 21, 1992 No. 2395-1 "On Subsoil" modified by the Law of December 8, 2020 N 429-FZ. In the cadastral information system, conditions for three-dimensional registration of facilities should be created.
