ANALYSIS OF ACCESS TO COUNTRYSIDE REGULATIONS IN LITHUANIA AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES (Krastovaizdzio, Kaip Rekreacines Aplinkos, Prieinamumo Reglamentavimo Lietuvoje Ir Uzsienio Valstybese Analize)
Public rights of access to engage in recreational activities in open non-urbanized countryside in Lithuania, Scandinavia and UK are analysed in this paper. Currently there is no universal public right of access in Lithuania. On the other hand, there is no strict prohibition to walk or stay in open countryside as well. But public rights of access to the Lithuanian countryside are more and more undermined as privatization of land, forests and water is going on and land owners try to fence their properties. The present Lithuanian legal basis that regulates public access to countryside is evaluated. Foreign experience in this field is reviewed. Scandinavian countries and Scotland adopted universal everyman's right. On the other side, public rights are very limited in England and Whales. Summarizing these different approaches and current situation in Lithuania proposals on implementing the public right of access in the Lithuanian legislature are presented. -
