ECOSYSTEM APPROACH TO LAND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This study examines the environmental aspects of land management, with a focus on sustainable land use, environmental risk reduction and regional development strategies. The paper emphasizes the importance of integrating environmental, economic and social principles into territorial management and emphasizes the need for innovative approaches to preserve land resources for future generations. Particular attention is paid to the impact of urbanization, industrialization and intensive agriculture on land degradation and practical recommendations for sustainable practices are provided.

Located near Kharkiv, the Pisochyn territorial community has unique opportunities for economic integration while addressing environmental challenges. The strategic suburban location creates conditions for a balance between industrial growth, agricultural production and environmental preservation. The study highlights the potential of developing industrial parks, logistics infrastructure and sustainable agricultural practices to stimulate economic growth without harming the environment.

Key strategies include attracting enterprises from Kharkiv to set up local branches, supporting small and medium-sized businesses and developing a transport and logistics network. Agricultural initiatives focus on peri-urban farming to meet urban demand, including vegetable, dairy and floriculture production. This integrated approach is aimed at creating a sustainable model of regional development that integrates industrial, agricultural and environmental goals.
