Sustainable development of the territory: the role of the ecological framework.

Abstract

The work is devoted to the strategy of sustainable development of the territory, which has recently been considered by researchers through the concept of a green economy. This concept does not replace the concept of sustainable development, but it is now increasingly common to recognize that achieving sustainability largely depends on the creation of a proper “green” economy. UN experts believe that the transition to a green economy depends on the solution of two related tasks, one of which is the maintenance of the structure and functions of ecosystems. This task is a complex environmental problem. When solving it, it is necessary to take into account the undisturbed and restore the disturbed territories to the extent necessary to maintain a sustainable environment; identify the main functions of landscapes; establish ecological co-ordination of the main ecological functions of landscapes in the vertical hierarchy; form the structure of landscape complexes, the main functions of which must be preserved; establish regulations for the use of specific territories. The work shows the possibility of solving these issues through the formation of the ecological framework of the territory.
