Assessment of the general ecological situation of land resources of the administrative-territorial units (at the example of the Kamianka-Buzka district of Lviv region)

Abstract

Balanced and rational use of land resources, efficient reproduction of degraded lands, restoration of soils’ fertility and providing of resources-environmental security of human activity on this basis belong to priority issues nowadays. It is caused by the fact that almost all land resources of Ukraine are in deep crisis, the country faced grand losses and the health of the country’s population is in danger. Extensive use of Ukrainian lands causes great economic, social and environmental losses. Irrational use and increasing of anthropogenic pressure level on the environment cause significant changes of its ecological state. Therefore, conducting an assessment of the total ecological situation of land resources in the Kamianka-Buzka district indicates the relevance of the work. In the course of the study, materials from the form 6-earth and stock materials of land resources department in the Kamianka-Buzka district of Lviv region were used. The structure of land fund in the Kamianka-Buzka district of Lviv region has been analyzed by categories of its use and intended purpose. The basic ecological problems of the condition and violations in the use of land resources of the district are discovered, and also measures for their effective use are proposed. Сoefficient of environmental sustainability, the destabilization factor and the total ecological situation of land resources are calculated. On the basis of these calculations an estimation of the total ecological situation of land resources on territories by administrative formations within the limits of Kamianka-Buzka district of the Lviv region is carried out.
