Abstract

Theoretical and methodological approaches to the basic mechanisms of the Nature Reserve Fund of Ukraine recreational territories management under modern economic conditions are formed. The main markers of influence on the development of nature reserve areas are identified. Problematic issues requiring operational, tactical and strategic solutions at the state level and at the level of a particular region are defined. Cherkasy region case study offers strategic directions to promote the protection, preservation, restoration and development of Cherkasy region nature reserve territories related to their scientifically proven expansion, in particular, to identify potential economic loss from preserving nature reserve areas and ensuring their efficient functioning, and increase the percentage of territories of the Ukrainian NRF to achieve EU countries indicators. The necessity to activate a public-private partnership, which concerns both the promotion of tourist attractions in protected nature reserve areas, and the need to comply with the requirements of environmental legislation, is justified. The current state of the Cherkasy region natural reserve and its development priorities is analyzed, administrative and territorial changes in particular. Attention is focused on the relevance of scientific research regarding the feasibility of creating new nature reserves and objects of Cherkasy region Natural Reserve Fund. Under modern conditions of management in the tourism industry as an important segment of recreational activities, the cumulative effect of coordinating intentions and actions impacts the environment significantly, both positively and negatively, which should be taken into account not only in scientific and theoretical-methodological research, but also in practice both locally and at the Government level in general.
