INTEGRATED GEOECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

The sustainable development of territorial communities increasingly depends on the ability to integrate natural, social, and economic dimensions of space into a coherent geoecological framework. This paper explores interdisciplinary approaches to assessing and mitigating geoecological problems within local communities, emphasizing the interaction between human activities and natural systems. Using case examples from Podillia and comparable regions of Eastern Europe, the research identifies methodological foundations for integrated geoecological assessment and suggests tools for strengthening local environmental resilience.
