Abstract:
Background and Aim: The protection of agricultural and horticultural lands has an important role in preserving the environment and the continuation of human life, and their protection constitutes the protection of the environment and human life. The change of use of agricultural and horticultural lands is the result of the shortcomings of the existing laws and the inadequate implementation of these flawed laws by its implementers and the disregard for its importance and the opportunism of some profiteers.
Materials and Methods: This research is of theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library and has been done by referring to documents, books and articles.
Results: Adopting criminal measures to combat this phenomenon is one of the measures that legislators have resorted to. During the stage, the law considered the change of use of agricultural lands important and criminalized it; Such as the Law on the Development of Agricultural Centers approved in 1975 and the Law on Conservation of Agricultural Lands and Gardens approved in 1995. The last law enacted in this regard was the Law on Amending the Law on Preservation of the Use of Agricultural Lands and Gardens, approved in 2006, and its by-laws, which in Article 3 provide for the punishment of demolition and fines for perpetrators of this crime. There will also be imprisonment.
