“…Резонно постає питання щодо визначення екосистемних активів територіальних громад і розкриття їх структурних характеристик, зважаючи на притаманний цим активам дуалізм: з одного боку, вони є видом природних активів, а з іншого -специфічним видом економічних активів [6].…”

and sustainable development of the National academy of sciences of Ukraine ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTIC OF ECOSYSTEM ASSETS OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES Нагальність поглиблення соціального усвідомлення важливості природного капіталу й екосистем як економічних активів, що продукують суспільні вигоди і доход, актуалізує розроблення шляхів упровадження екосистемного підходу в управлінську практику на всіх його ієрархічно впорядкованих рівнях, починаючи з вихідного низового рівнятериторіальних угрупувань як базових адміністративно-територіальних одиниць (громад). Вирішення цієї проблеми, в свою чергу, потребує чіткого розуміння поняття екосистемних активів територіальних громад. Зважаючи на його методологічну невизначеність у наукових і нормативних джерелах, у статті вперше в українській фаховій літературі репрезентована сутнісна характеристика екосистемних активів територіальних громад. Зокрема, розкрито змістовне наповнення та ознаки цього поняття; запропоновано авторське визначення екосистемних активів територіальних громад, формуючи їх цілісне уявлення. Здобуті наукові результати слугуватимуть нарощенню подальшого розуміння територіальними громадами необхідності проведення відповідних природозберігаючих заходів локального рівня для одержання стабільних вигод/прибутку від екосистемних послуг і в майбутньому, завдяки підтриманого якісного та продуктивного стану місцевих екосистемних ресурсів. One of the central positions of the application of the ecosystem approach in management is the active involvement in the process of intensifying the rational and caring attitude to natural assets of * Статтю підготовлено за результатами дослідження в рамках прикладної НДР ІІІ-33-20 "Оцінювання екосистемних активів територіальних громад", що виконується в ДУ "Інститут економіки природокористування та сталого розвитку НАН України". all stakeholders in nature usage. Examples from many countries show that local people are often the most prudent ecosystem managers, as their knowledge of local ecosystems and direct economic and social interest in maintaining a good environment for their own livelihoods can be crucial to long-term sustainable ecosystem management. The urgency of deepening social awareness of the importance of natural capital and ecosystems as economic assets that produce social benefits and income, actualizes the development of ways to implement the ecosystem approach in management practice at all its hierarchical levels, starting from the initial grassroots administrative levelcommunities. Solving this problem, in turn, requires a clear understanding of the concept of ecosystem assets of local communities. Given its methodological uncertainty in scientific and regulatory sources, the article for the first time in the Ukrainian professional literature presents the essential characteristics of ecosystem assets of territorial communities. In particular, the content and features of this concept are revealed; the author's definition of ecosystem assets of territorial communities is offered, forming their holistic view. Ecosyst...

The paper proves the need to reform the system of ecological management of protected areas of communities on an ecosystem basis, taking into account the general processes of decentralization and European integration. It is noted that the main problems of adequate assessment of local natural resource potential of communities, in particular the assessment of ecosystem assets of their protected areas, are related to the imperfection of the general methodology of its implementation and the relevant regulatory framework. It is emphasized that the achievement of the goals of sustainable spatial development at the local level is ensured via full mobilization of all types of local resources, e.g. in protected areas, in particular by taking into account the value of ecosystem assets and ecosystem services produced by them in the interests of local communities. It is shown that economic assessments allow to substantiate the economic efficiency of investments in the environmental complex in order to preserve biodiversity, compare the costs and benefits of ecosystem services, as well as calculate the amount of compensation payments. It is determined that the process of assessment of ecosystem assets of territories is a measurement of the total monetary value of ecosystem-related goods and services in the region, i.e. the assessment of ecosystem assets is primarily to assess the ecosystem services produced by these assets. As a result of the study, successive stages of developing an algorithm for assessing ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities with the definition of the main structural components of assessment: valuation of ecosystem services produced by assets of protected areas, using a combination of relevant assessment methods and valuation component of the total local ecosystem asset of a particular territorial community. The calculation of the total value of ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities on the example of Blagodatnenskaya OTG of the Pervomaisky district of the Nikolaev area is executed. Proposals for optimizing the use of ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities have been developed.

For the first time in the professional literature the theoretical and methodological composition of the three-dimensional model of the frame-concept of assessment of ecosystem assets of territorial communities is revealed and presented. This frame-concept forms the general conceptual basis and logistic algorithm of practical actions for implementation the assessment of ecosystem assets of territorial communities in the practice of nature management. In accordance with the existing typology of concepts, the characteristics of the frame-concept of assessment of ecosystem assets of territorial communities are given. The main elements of the three-dimensional model of the frame-concept of assessment of ecosystem assets of territorial communities, which are identified by its construction according to the appropriate logistic algorithm of its composition, are established. This algorithm should be performed in several successive iterations. The first is the analysis and structural-functional description of the categorical basis of the concept of ecosystem assets as producers of ecosystem services, which represents the studied frame-concept. The second iteration involves in-depth disclosure of the content and features of ecosystem assets of territorial communities as a notion. The third is to describe ways to assess the ecosystem assets of local communities as a two-dimensional formation, providing an appropriate level of detail. The fourth iteration is the definition of the numerical formalization of the semantic sphere of ecosystem assets, in particular the numerical formalization of the value measurement of ecosystem assets as producers of ecosystem services. The fifth is a study of scenarios for assessing the ecosystem assets of local communities. The subject-object and other components of the scenario of assessment of ecosystem assets of a particular territorial community, which are written in its corresponding scheme, are shown. In the future, this, in turn, allows us to design the nature of the relationship between the local community as the owner of ecosystem assets and other beneficiaries of their use. This will make it possible to address the level of responsibility for the functioning of the ecosystem assets that produce these services, as well as when considering eco-compensation for the consumption of specific types of ecosystem services or their loss. As a result, the study of the frame-concept of assessment of ecosystem assets of territorial communities created an appropriate theoretical and methodological platform that forms its holistic view and understanding by scientists and practitioners. Therefore, it will help to justify and implement real management measures to assess ecosystem assets belonging to specific local communities.
