A general characteristic degradation
processes at regional level. The dependence
between the coefficients of the properties of
agricultural land and soil conservation index value.
Calculated losses of major crops due to the use of
arable land, which belong to the degraded and
unproductive. The measures to restore the
effectiveness ofthe use ofthese lands.

The article discusses the possibility of using geoinformation technologies to estimate transformational changes in basin systems of small rivers in the example left Podilla tributary of Dniester, River Koropets. The technique of the automated calculation of anthropogenic pressure degree on sub‐basins.

The article describes the institutional bases of management and evaluation of forest land in the modern market conditions.The analysis shows important institutional achievements in the field of forest management, but also elucidate disadvantages and ways of further development.

This paper investigates the ecological and economic condition of agricultural land use of the Kiev region. Revealed trendsin the ecological state lands. The ways to improve the ecological and
economic situation ofthe region

The dependence of the fundamental physical characteristics, that determine stability of light‐textured sod‐podzolic soils to water
erosion, on the humus content and saturation of absorbing complex with calcium is shown. Algorithm of the rise of anti‐erosion stability
of soil covering as base of balanced function of the modern agrolandscapes is proved.   

Some aspects of improving the institutional environment of nature-protect land use in conditions of the new land relations in case
of the law were proposed.

The article highlights the research results of the Polish experience of forming economic and legal mechanism for protection and sustainable use of soil. The features of legislative regulation of economic incentives mechanism for soil fertility reproduction in Poland through compliance with the relevant requirements of rational farming under appropriate actions are defined. The possibility and feasibility of using project‐package approach during the formation of organizational and economic mechanism of soil fertility reproduction in Ukraine.

Methodological and methodical approaches of ecological and economic evaluation of natural and recreational potential of
land and other natural resources, based on multifunctionality of land use were proposed.

It analyzes the recreational potential of the territory of the Kiev region, which focuses on all types of land on the main intended purpose. The most favorable conditions for recreation are
formed on the lands of recreation, recreation, historical and cultural, natural reserve fund and other environmental protection, forestry purposes, and water resources. The area of land corresponding categories are significantly (3‐5 times) inferior standards adopted in the European Union. The main directions of development of recreational land use for the future are determined.

Proved that address the priority areas of contemporary issues of combating land degradation and desertification in Ukraine is to
improve the legal and regulatory framework, the project of the National Action Plan to combat land degradation and desertification.

The article discusses the demographic
problems of village territories of Ukraine,
their impact on rural development in general.
The ways of overcoming these problems,
grounded approaches to their cartographic
modeling, shows the possible prospects of
development of villages.

The Precarpathian sulfurous deposits
nature‐economic systems experience of
ecologic conditions research where displayed.
In 1997–2015 years by authors where made
geoecological researches within mining
(postmining) geosystems of «Yavoriv
waterbody», «Podorozhne waterbed» and
«Opilla waterbodies» key area. A fact
material about theory, methods and practice
approaches of mining territories
geoinformational modeling and cartography
where generalized.
