Обґрунтовано методологічну схему моніторингу динаміки лісового покриву шляхом інтеграції офіційної статистики з продуктами дистанційного зондування. Запропонована розробка може застосовуватися до аналізу ретроспективних траєкторій використання лісових угідь.; The scientific article provides a comprehensive retrospective geographical analysis of forestry land use within the Kremenetsk district of the Ternopil region, Ukraine. The study is necessitated by the region's status as a low-forest area, where the current forest cover of 14.7% falls significantly below the scientifically justified regional target of 20%. This research addresses the dual challenge of environmental sensitivity specifically the highly dissected relief of the Kremenets Mountains prone to erosion and the complex institutional transformations within the Ukrainian forestry sector. The primary objective of the publication is to investigate the spatio-temporal features of forest land use and to establish a scientifically grounded methodology for monitoring these changes. To achieve this, the author integrates traditional official statistical data, such as the 2024 Ecological Passport of the Ternopil Region, with advanced remote sensing products. Specifically, the methodology utilizes the Landsat-based global forest change mapping and the Hansen Global Forest Change dataset available via Google Earth Engine. This hybrid approach allows for the reconstruction of forest cover dynamics at a 30-meter resolution, providing a reliable baseline for identifying «hotspots» of forest loss or recovery. The analysis reveals a fragmented and multi-regime management structure in the district. Key stakeholders identified include the «Kremenetske Forest Management» branch of the State Enterprise «Forests of Ukraine» (53.019 thousand ha), the municipal enterprise «Kremlis» (6.336 thousand ha), and the «Kremenetski Gory» National Nature Park (3.916 thousand ha). The study emphasizes that forests in this region perform vital protective, water-regulatory, and recreational functions rather than purely exploitative ones, given the steep slopes and plateau landscapes. A significant portion of the article is dedicated to a three-stage algorithm for integrating GIS analysis with official indicators to develop predictive models up to 2035. These scenarios Inertial, Normative, and Adaptive-are aligned with the State Strategy for Forest Management of Ukraine until 2035. The research highlights practical reforestation efforts, noting that in 2024, the Kremenets forest economy restored 135.3 hectares, primarily through the creation of forest cultures. The author concludes that integrating satellite-based monitoring with institutional verification is essential for effective spatial planning. The proposed methodological framework serves as a tool for sustainable development, ensuring that regional standards for optimal forest cover are met to stabilize agricultural landscapes against climate change and erosion. This study contributes to the geographical understanding of land-use trajectories and provides a scalable model for retrospective monitoring in other ecologically sensitive regions. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.tnpu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/41501 Назва: Земельні ресурси як основа агровиробничої діяльності на території Кременецького району Тернопільської області Автори: Козак, Андрій; Кузик, Ігор Романович; Гулик, Сергій Володимирович; Чеболда, Ігор Юрійович Короткий огляд (реферат): Дослідження земельного фонду Кременецького району Тернопільської області, що слугує матеріальною базою аграрного виробництва, засвідчило домінування земель сільськогосподарського призначення (75%). У структурі сільськогосподарських угідь рілля посідає провідне місце (75%), пасовища (18%), багаторічні насадження (2,5%), сіножаті (2%) та землі під господарськими будівлями і дорогами (2,5%). Загальна площа сільськогосподарських земель у районі перевищує 200 тис. га, причому найбільші їхні масиви зосереджені в межах Лановецької, Шумської, Кременецької і Вишнівецької територіальних громад. Земельна забезпеченість на одного мешканця становить 1,4 га с/г угідь, у тому числі 1,06 га орних земель та 0,31 га лісовкритих площ. Індекс активного сільськогосподарського використання земель по району в цілому дорівнює 0,8; найвищі значення цього показника характерні для Лановецької і Почаївської громад (0,85), а найнижчі – для Шумської (0,71). Аграрний сектор району представлений понад 120 агрофірмами, які в сукупності обробляють близько 200 тис. га сільськогосподарських угідь.; The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state of land resources in the Kremenets District and to assess their role in agricultural production in the context of the region’s sustainable development. The following methods were used in this study: analysis and synthesis, statistical, descriptive, cartographic, mathematical, constructively-calculation and comparative-geographical. The Kremenets District is located in the northern part of the Ternopil Region covers an area of 263 390 hectares. Administratively, the district is divided into 8 territorial communities, with a population of approximately 143 000 people. An analysis of land resources as the basis for agricultural production in the Kremenets District of Ternopil region revealed a significant predominance of agricultural land (75%), including arable land accounts for 57%. The Lanovetska territorial community has the highest proportion of arable land in the district (72%), while the Shumska territorial community has the lowest (42%). It has been established that in the structure of agricultural lands in the Kremenets district, arable land predominates at 75%, pastures account for 18%, hayfields for 2%, perennial plantations for 2.5% and 2.5% of the land is occupied by farm buildings and roads. In total, the Kremenets district has over 200 000 hectares of agricultural land. The largest areas of such land are concentrated in the Lanovetska, Shumska, Kremenetska and Vyshnivetska territorial communities. It has been established that in the Kremenets district, there are 1.4 hectares of agricultural land per resident (in Ukraine – 0.93 hectares per person, worldwide – 0.84 hectares per person), 1.06 hectares of arable land (0.67 ha/person in Ukraine, 0.24 ha/person globally), and 0.31 hectares of forested land (0.23 ha/person in Ukraine, 0.67 ha/person globally). The index of active agricultural land cultivation in the Kremenets district is 0.8. This index is highest in the Lanovetska and Pochayivska territorial communities (0.85) and lowest in the Shumska territorial community (0.71). In total, there are over 120 agricultural firms operating in the Kremenets district, cultivating approximately 200 000 hectares of agricultural land. Thus, the land resources of the Kremenets district remain a strategic asset for the region; however, their potential can be fully realized only through the synergy of scientific approaches, modern technologies and effective management decisions at the local level territorial communities. Further research should focus on the development of adaptive agroecological maps, economic modeling of the impact of climate scenarios on soil productivity and empirical assessment of the effectiveness of the proposed mechanisms in the practical activities of agricultural enterprises and local government bodies. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.tnpu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/41500 Назва: Бонітетна оцінка сільськогосподарських угідь Північного старостинського округу Львівської територіальної громади Автори: Наконечний, Юрій; Паньків, Зіновій; Кирильчук, Андрій; Телегуз, Олексій Короткий огляд (реферат): Проведено бонітетну оцінку сільськогосподарських угідь Північного старостинського округу Львівської територіальної громади. Розрахунки балів бонітету ріллі показали відмінності між незмитими, змитими і намитими відмінами ґрунтів. Бали бонітету сіножатей, пасовищ і багаторічних насаджень суттєво не відрізняються від балів ріллі. Середньозважені бали бонітету найвищими є на ріллі, а найнижчими – багаторічних насаджень.; The soil quality assessment conducted over 30 years ago is far from the real state of land resources, so it can be argued that the soil quality assessment of agricultural lands currently existing in the state is unreliable. Since 1993, no stage of soil quality assessment has been carried out in Ukraine at the national level, despite the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Land Assessment”. Therefore, the land quality assessment of lands is of great importance both scientifically and practically. The object of our research was the lands of the Northern Starostynsky District of the Lviv Territorial Community, namely the lands of the former Hrybovytsky Village Council. The subject of the research is the quality assessment of agricultural lands of this territory. The purpose of our research was to develop general soil quality scores for individual agricultural lands within the study area, based on the data of the technical report from the corrective survey of the Hrybovytsia Village Council and the calculated partial soil quality scores for agricultural crops grown in the study area. The territory of the Northern Starostynsky District is administratively located in the Lviv (until 2020 in Zhovkva) district of the Lviv region. According to the natural and agricultural zoning, the research area is within the Borshchyovytsia natural and agricultural district of the Dniester-West Bug district of the Forest-Steppe zone. On the territory of the Northern Starostynsky District in general and the Hrybovytsia Village Council in particular, the following types of agricultural lands are distinguished - arable land, hayfields, pastures, perennial plantings. According to the currently valid soil assessment methodology, developed in 1992 by scientists of the Institute of Land Management, the Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry named after O.N. Sokolovsky and the National Agrarian University, we conducted a soil assessment of agricultural lands of the Northern Starostyn District of the Lviv Territorial Community, namely on the example of the lands of the former Hrybovytsia Village Council. It was established that the soil cover of this territory is quite diverse. Both automorphic gray and dark gray podzolized and hydromorphic meadow-marsh soils are common here, as well as unwashed soils of plateau areas, and weakly and moderately washed soils of sloping surfaces. Calculations of arable land quality scores showed that unwashed agro-production groups have a higher quality score than their washed counterparts (with a difference of up to 25 points), which is a natural phenomenon. In general, the highest arable land quality score is in podzolized washed soils (agro-production group 208-g – 63.9 points). It is also high in dark gray podzolized unwashed soils (agro-production group 40-g – 51.7 points), as well as in meadow-swamp undrained soils (agro-production group 141-d – 50.2 points). The lowest arable land quality score was calculated for dark gray medium-washed soils (agrogroup 50-g – 25.5 points), as well as for gray podzolized slightly washed soils (agrogroup 37-g – 30.4 points). The calculated arable land quality scores for hayfields, pastures, and perennial plantations by agro-production groups do not differ significantly, with some exceptions, from arable land scores. In most agro-production groups of the study area, the conversion factor is lower than or equal to one, so the arable land quality scores will decrease in accordance with the conversion for the arable land quality score. This applies to the following agro-production groups: 29-g, 37-g, 38-g, 40-g, 50-g, 141-d. In such agricultural production groups as 49-g, 208-g, 210 d, the conversion factors are greater than one, therefore, in these soils, the quality scores of hayfields, pastures and perennial plantations are higher than the quality score of arable land. The weighted average quality scores for agricultural lands showed that the highest scores are for arable land, and the lowest are for perennial plantations. The results of our research should be used by agricultural enterprises for the optimal placement of agricultural lands, when determining the suitability of soils for growing crops, as well as in the ecological assessment of lands and the organization of environmentally friendly land use. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.tnpu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/41499 Назва: Теоретичний базис дослідження екопоселень Автори: Глива, Богдан Короткий огляд (реферат): Актуальність статті зумовлена необхідністю формування сприятливого соціально-екологічного середовища для населення в умовах інтенсивної урбанізації та мегаполізації. Наголошено, що одним із шляхів реалізації такого проєкту є розвиток екологічних поселень. Надано стислий аналіз фундаментальних наукових теорій, концепцій, які формують теоретичну базу дослідження екопоселень.; Introduction. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to create a supportive socio-ecological environment for the population amid intensive urbanization and metropolitan expansion, which intensifies environmental pressure and contributes to the global ecological crisis driven by economic growth that fails to adequately consider environmental consequences. In this context, innovative projects aimed at preserving green space, strengthening socio-ecological responsibility, and involving communities in the careful use of natural resources become especially important, as human communities must be integrated into ecosystem processes and maintain them without disrupting natural cycles. The purpose of the article is to identify and systematize the theoretical foundations of ecovillage research as an innovative form of organizing living space, and to outline scholarly approaches to assessing the correspondence between ecovillage structures and natural ecosystems as well as the mechanisms of their integration into regional ecosystem contexts. Methods. The methodological framework combines the historical-dialectical method, analysis and synthesis, the comparative method, and a systems approach, providing a comprehensive view of the ecological, social, and institutional dimensions of ecovillage functioning. Results. A review of recent foreign and Ukrainian publications shows that current research concentrates on transformations of social practices and everyday-life models, institutional development and related environmental reforms, and the search for pathways of human–nature coevolution. It is emphasized that the social system that has developed worldwide is the cause of environmental problems, with varying levels, natures, and scales. It is noted that, unfortunately, a person is unable to adequately assess the negative consequences of his activities due to insufficient environmental awareness and the unpredictability of many natural processes. It is emphasized that the growing anthropogenic load leads to a constant reduction of natural resources at a rate that exceeds their ability to recover. In such a situation, researchers are developing ways to address the ecological crisis that have significant practical value. The author’s scientific-focused article on research by foreign and domestic scientists is dedicated to solving this problem. However, it should be mentioned that the analysis of professional sources did not reveal a significant number of systematic, fundamental works on eco-settlements. The article substantiates and briefly characterizes the main theories, concepts, and propositions forming the theoretical basis for ecovillage studies. It is shown that this basis relies on the integration of 1) ecosociology and environmental sociology, including ecological modernization theory; 2) the New Ecological Paradigm; 3) the concept of sustainable development; 4) approaches to the socio-economic environment; 5) studies of the history of ecovillage development in Ukraine and internationally; 6) research on nature-inspired (nature-like) technologies; 7) interdisciplinary approaches; 8) developments in the bioeconomy; and 9) research on bio-ecovillages as a high-technology, resource-efficient model of community living. Conclusions. Since the theoretical aspects of the correspondence of the structure of ecological settlements to natural ecosystems, in particular the principles of organizing the environment that ensures the inclusion of settlements in the ecosystem context of regions, are not yet sufficiently developed in the research space of Ukraine, we see the prospects for further research in the development of theoretical foundations for the study of eco-settlements, in determining the principles of organizing such settlements; in developing a methodology for scientific research into the functioning of eco settlements. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
