Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify the peculiarities of the local econetwork of Vinnytsia for the sustainable urban development. Methods: field research (key, area and route), literary-cartographic, analytical-cartographic analysis, collecting and processing of statistical information, theoretical generalization and systematization of facts, analysis, abstraction, analogy, synthesis. Results. 30 key territories, which occupy 15.9% of the city area, are distinguished in the structure of Vinnytsia econetwork. According to the peculiarities of vegetation and modern landscapes, all key territories are grouped into the following groups: forest, forest-meadow, forest-swamp, pond, garden-park and cemetery. Forest key territories that correspond to the background landscapes in the past are predominant (81.7% of the area). Key territories are joined by two national and twenty five local ecological corridors, which cover 12% of the city area. River-valley ecocorridors prevail among them in area and length while street-road ecological corridors prevail in their quantity. Buffer areas, that cover 4.8% of the city’s territory, are designed around key territories and ecological corridors. Thirteen recovery territories, which occupy 0.9% of Vinnytsia area, are potential for increasing the area of key territories and ecocorridors in the future. In perspective, seven interactive elements, projected mainly by stream valleys, occupying 0.6% of the city territory, may pass into the category of ecocorridors. The novelty of the study is that for the first time: since the change of Vinnytsia’s borders in 2015, the city econetwork project has been developed; peculiarities of interactive elements and ecotechnical junctions are identified and specificated; peculiarities of the landscape complexes of the territory were taken into account while justifying the choice of structural elements of the econetwork.
