The approaches to the formation of econet relations in Ukraine in the context of the Pan-European strategy for the preservation of biotic and landscape diversity are considered. The basic contradictions in the system of econet relations are highlighted. The essence of the eco-network approach is highlighted on the basis of the materials of the national and regional econet. The polystructurality of econet is noted, their environmental, nature-supporting, and recreational subsystems are analyzed. The identification of the basic elements of the econet should take place against the background of landscape zoning schemes of the territory, so that the natural systems of each landscape region are represented by at least one key territory. Created systems of computer-cartographic models of the Podillya econet and its components; algorithms for multivariate analysis of the NRO and the design of environmental systems of the Podillia region, in which the spatial boundaries of 41 key territories are justified, which will represent the biotic and landscape diversity of 33 landscape areas, areas of connecting territories and their buffer zones. 24 key areas represent landscapes of the zone of deciduous forests; 15 - landscapes of the forest-steppe zone and 2 key territories are confined to the zone of mixed forests. The peculiarities of the eco-network include its complexity and polystructurality with basic nature conservation, nature support and recreational subsystems with a differentiated regime of nature management of the main elements. In accordance with the principle of landscape polystructurality, within the territory, it is possible to distinguish landscape territorial structures (LTS) of various types, depending on the structure-forming relations, taken as the basis of this integration. From an environmental point of view, the biocentric-network landscape structure forms the relationship between the areas of natural vegetation (biocenter) and their anthropogenized environment. At the same time, the territorial confinement of biocenters, their compliance with the optimal sizes, functional features, the nature and directions of interrelationships to ensure sustainable functioning were analyzed. A complex combination of different-ranked network elements forms spatial polyfunctional storage systems for biotic and landscape diversity. Within the framework of these systems, several types of eco-transforming nodes (EFN) are distinguished: (EFNnl) at the national level, (EFNrl) at the regional level, (EFNll) at the local level. The created schematic map of the biocentric network LTS demonstrates that its elements do not completely cover the territory of the landscape, but form the natural frame of the territory, significantly reduces the probability of population degradation, and reduces the dependence on sharp edaphic changes in individual biocenters. This framework is the basis of the environmental protection and nature-supporting system of the region. Key words: eco-network approach, Podillia region, regional eco-network, biocentric-network structure, environmental system.

pollutants from stationary sources has increased on 115 tons (18,7%), because of incineration of peat and firewood on many boiler rooms. The measures to reduce atmospheric pollution are proposed. The pollution of the Ternopil pond negatively influences on quality of drinking-water in the city, as it is situated in the zones of sanitary protection of the water intake. The measures on optimization of structure of the lands of upper river basin of the Seret, forming of bank-protection zones, establishing of the effective geoecological monitoring are offered. Municipal wastes pose a threat to the sanitary-hygienic state of the territory. The authors calculated up, that in case of processing of organic wastes of Ternopil it is possible to get annually 11,0-16,5 million cube meters of biogas. The ecological problems because of their disposal on Malashivtsi's waste dump are described. There are only 5 square meters of recreational territories in a calculation on one person in the city (at the norm of 6 square meters). Degradation of spatial features of natural living conditions of population is associated with a reduction in green area, increase of closeness of building of housing buildings, small architectural constructions, parking places and others like that. The solution to this problem consists in construction of new neighborhoods of the city and planting of new parks, abandonment from practice of building of housing buildings in place of greenery. Novelty. For the first time, the geoecological parameters of the components of environment of the city of Ternopil are studied on statistical materials of 2016-2017. The measuring of intensity of noise contamination of the territory of the regional landscape park "Zagrebellya" is conducted. The map of noise contamination of the investigated territory is modeled. The positive consequences of separate collection and utilization of wastes of Ternopil are substantiated. The volumes of annual possible receipt of biogas from household wastes are evaluated. The recreational capacity of parklands of the city is calculated. The tendencies of reduction and deficit of greenery in Ternopil are found out. The practical significance. The authors propose practical recommendations for decision of the geoecological problems of Ternopil.

An integrated geoecological approach to the optimization of the landscape-ecological organization of the territory (LEOT) of the Ternopil region, which is focused on determining the priorities and criteria of optimality in modern ecological-social-economic conditions, is considered. The features of the geoecological situation, as well as the natural resource potential of the region, are taken into account. A SWOT analysis of the objective prerequisites and subjective factors of the landscape-ecological organization of the territory has been carried out and the need for its implementation has been brought to light. Based on the materials of the development of economic spheres of the region, a comparative analysis of the existing development with optimal guidelines is carried out. The priority priorities in the modern conditions of the complication of the ecological situation - anthropoecological and environmental protection are not targeted and are considered in most projects and regional programs as secondary and are planned in the old-fashioned way behind a residual principle. The prospects for the development of agro-industrial are considered. water, recreational and forestry sectors of the economy as priorities for the existing in the region structure of production natural resource potential. Particular attention is paid to the formation and development of 12 promising regional landscape parks, the creation of which was proposed more than 15 years ago. Their creation with additions of environmental authorities is planned for all landscape areas of the region, including new administrative areas. In the tables below. describes the territorial structure, and their location, as well as the planned year of creation. An assessment of their role in recreational nature management was carried out, which made it possible to determine the stage by stage of their creation. In addition, this will provide an opportunity to optimize nature conservation management - to act as natural cores and eco-corridors of the regional eco-network. A schematic map has been created that takes into account the accessibility of the RLP and NPP of the region for recreants (Fig. 1) on which the entire territory of the region and significant parts of the neighboring regions are covered by the radius of visitor accessibility.  Taking into account transport accessibility, this will make it possible to determine the spatial directions of creating and improving the existing recreational infrastructure, the formation and development of new elements of the territorial recreational system. The analysis of the existing ecological-geographical situation (EGS) in the locations of the proposed RLP was carried out and a conclusion was made about the prospective improvement of the natural conditions of the local population's life in the need for the creation of the three most functionally and infrastructurally developed RLP Berezhanskoe Opolye, Sredneseretskiy and Knyazhiy forest. The system of the considered proposals will make it possible to strengthen the resource-saving spheres of the economic complex, to balance the ecological-socio-economic development of the regional region and the participating local communities in the interests of the people. Key words: LEOT, SWOT analysis, optimization, balanced development, living conditions.

Myroslava Pytuliak, Mykola Pytuliak. MODERN STATE AND PECULIARITIES OF USING WATER RESOURCES OF KHMELNYTSKYI REGION It has been figured out that the total amounts of water intake and using fresh water during the last years stay almost unchanged between about 73 million per m 3 and 79 million per m 3. The largest amount of fresh water has been used in Stаrokostiantyniv region (1.7 million per m 3), Volochysk region (1.9 million per m 3) because the most industrial companies in Khmelnytsk region are situated here. The least amount of water has been used in Vinkiv region (0.2 million per m 3) and Derаzhniany region (0.13 million per m 3) There has been made a differentiation of administrative districts of the region according to the amount of water used by one person and to the volume of water intake. The largest volume of water intake is in Netishyn-(40.64 million per m 3) as the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power station is working here. The structure of using water resources in Khmelnytskyi region has been analyzed. The main water consumers in the region are industry (energetics) and housing and utilities sector. Water intake for industry is performed by using both surface water objects and underground. The number of surface water intake is 85.7%. Due to the economic usage not only the surface waters become polluted in the region but all the ecosystems in general. Waste water disposal back to the water objects is made by 80 water consumers. In 2017 the waste water disposal has slightly decreased and came to 37.75 million per m 3. The total amounts of untreated water disposals have become lower. The total volume of polluted substances contained in waste water disposal to the surface water objects has increased from 20.227 thousand tons in 2015 up to 21.001 thousand tons in 2016. The largest part of polluted waters is gained from house and utilities sector. To purify the waters are used a lot of purification facilities, though they are not operating full out. To use the water resources efficiently and improve the ecological state of the water objects in Khemelnytskyi region will have been implementing the program of developing the water economy up to the year 2021. For the treatment of water in the area are used treatment facilities Oryninskoye cheese factory from Kamyanets-Podilsky dairy; Nygin career; Kamianets-Podilskyi Water Utility, Staushitsky Water Utility. On the territory of Chemerovets district have treatment facilities Chemerovets water utility, in the territory of Gorodok district-Satanic cannery; sanatorium "Tovtry"; Satanic sugar factory. In order to rationalize the use of water resources and improve the ecological status of water bodies in the region, a program of water development of the Khmelnytsky region for the period up to 2021 was introduced.

In the context of the reform of the sale of agricultural land, the priority is to optimize land use, which is to find a balance of land that would meet their environmental, economic and social compliance with the functions of the agricultural sector. Two main approaches to the optimization process are considered. The first is by intensifying agriculture with significant energy costs, land depletion and the inevitable increase in environmental pressures. And the second is the gradual formation of a balanced agrosphere with alternative agriculture and environmentally friendly livestock. The structure of land plots in terms of regions of Ukraine, which in the conditions of the land market does not promote balanced land use, is analyzed. Acquired arable land will not be transferred to other categories of land at auctions, even if it is significantly degraded. When forming the pricing policy in the land sector, it is important to compare the value of arable land in Ukraine and European countries. This comparative analysis shows the underestimated value of arable land in Ukraine (the lowest figure in Europe is less than 1 thousand euros / ha) at the initial stage of sale. It is estimated that the six-year lease of arable land at this stage of land reform is more appropriate than their sale. The fact of plowing part of pastures under these conditions and increasing the share of arable land in river valleys, drained lands, etc. is alarming. According to the results of the calculations, Table 1 shows the value of arable land, pastures, hayfields by administrative regions. The comparative characteristic of agricultural lands on the available highly productive lands is carried out. The highest share of such lands in Ternopil, Poltava and Cherkasy oblasts was found out, which provides for their highest valuation. The created map diagram of the general cost assessment of agricultural lands demonstrates their land resource potential and reflects the spatial differentiation of this indicator by typological groups of regions. The authors analyzed the optimization model of land use in Ukraine, developed by a group of leading domestic scientists under the project "Sustainable Development Programs", and proposed to consider the category of productive lands as basic arable lands, the share of which in Ukraine is 44.8% of arable land. The directions of reforming land relations in Ukraine taking into account historical traditions and granting the highest status of the basic land user - the rural community are offered. At the same time to make calculations, based on the results of which to identify production types (specialization) of farms, which will be the most objective, as it takes into account local natural and economic conditions; - on the basis of specialization of peasant farms, study of types of land use in enterprises of various forms of ownership and data on natural land fertility to perform agricultural zoning of the territory; - in each allocated agricultural area, the whole array of land in use, divided into at least 3 groups: 1) lands of peasant farms, which over time should be granted the right of life ownership with the possibility of inheritance and on which the state should support non-profit, subsistence farming; 2) lands withdrawn from agricultural circulation due to the destruction of their natural fertility and those to be transferred to the nature reserve fund, and, over time, included in the national ecological network; 3) lands that have not yet lost their natural fertility and those that are in the use of agricultural enterprises of various forms of ownership. Key words: land optimization, monetary valuation of agricultural lands, land resource potential, spatial differentiation of lands, land relations.
