The methodological approaches to forming the institutional basis for “green growth” of the Ukrainian Nature Reserve Fund territories in conditions of the need to transform the approaches regarding the interaction with small and medium-sized businesses were developed. The main focus is on the issues of studying the existing institutional risks, institutional “traps,” and ensuring the stakeholders’ functional interaction. The proposed scheme for managing and planning the spatial development of the Nature Reserve Fund territories is based on business planning, “micro-K modeling” method, strategic monitoring method. Based on the complex combination of ecosystemic and polyfunctional approaches, the typology of Nature Reserve Fund territories management functions and “green growth” indicators system was defined. The institutional framework was formed, which enables to ensure aligning the society’s social, environmental, and economic interests.

Summary
The existing international approaches towards the active development of recreational and ecosystemic services sphere motivate the stakeholders in the Nature Reserve Fund sphere to search for opportunities for joining these tendencies based on the United Nations Organization principles and 17 Sustainable Development Goals. A hub can become a kind of a conservation center, where the small and medium-sized businesses will conclude the contracts with its management Such a direction as “Green-food,” i.e., creating the network of catering establishments, which will work at the territories of the Nature Reserve Fund objects and use the ecologically clean raw materials, has gained widespread use. Such directions as “event,” holding the birthdays, organizing the festive events, anniversaries, themed evenings at the Nature Reserve Fund infrastructure objects; organizing and holding the contests of children’s creative works, master classes, presenting the children’s literature for children of different age within the protected areas together with the non-state educational and upbringing institutions; “eco-beauty” – organizing and holding the beauty contests, presenting the ecologically-oriented cosmetics events at the Nature Reserve Fund objects territories. The abovementioned directions are partially implemented in Ukraine, some institutional gaps that lead to increased level of anthropogenic load on the conservation areas
