Demographic Globalization: Contribution to Global Economic Growth in Long-Term Perspective

Demography is one of the important factors of the Great Convergence. We estimate the contribution of the demographic factor to the prospective GDP dynamics for all countries of the world up to 2100. We use a long-term economic growth model that is based on estimates of labor productivity growth rates and incorporates the demographic forecast for both population and life expectancy. Globally, our model estimates long-term economic growth of world GDP at an average annual rate of 1.7 per cent, of which the demographic factor accounts for 0.54 percentage points, or about one-third (31.8 per cent) of the projected world economic growth in the twenty-first century. In our forecasts, we have relied on the logic of the previous research on convergence, which considered a sufficiently high level of the human capital development and a sufficient degree of economic openness as necessary conditions for convergence, which have now largely been achieved throughout the world precisely through the globalization processes (especially in the core and the semi-periphery of the World System). However, the inclusion of the demographic projections in our forecasts allows us to emphasize an important feature of the perspective convergence – it is not the semi-periphery, but rather the periphery of the World System, or the ‘bottom billion’ according to Collier, that is likely to converge particularly rapidly with both the core and the semi-periphery (such as the BRICS countries) thanks to favorable demographic structure. The paper has been prepared within the framework of RANEPA state assignment in 2023.

Sentinel-2 water indexes application for the underground water level analyses in Ovidiopol area of Odessa region

Studied area has a high level of agricultural development. There are different irrigation and drainage systems located there. Significant part of the supplied water losses from the irrigation network because of filtration and reaches the groundwater level, which begins to rise. Control and analyses of groundwater level changes with remote sensing methods for Ovidiopol area is the main goal of that work. The object of study is the groundwater level regime in the territory of Lower Dniester irrigation system in Ovidiopol district, Odessa region. The subject of research is water indexes application for analyses of groundwater level changes. The local system of groundwater observation includes 7 drillholes in Nadlimanskoe village and around. These drillholes located in different geomorphological, hydrogeological and technogenic conditions. The groundwater level was surveyed monthly in 2017. Sentinel-2 2A images for each month from March 2017 to December 2017 were used for studied area. All satellite images has atmospheric correction. Three water indexes NDWI, MNDWI, NDPI were calculated for drillhole points for each month in 2017 year. Significant correlation coefficients obtained in comparison between groundwater level changes and water indexes in some drillholes points. The highest numbers of correlation connected with free of construction areas and for drillholes, which are located outside of villages.

Water scarcity and COVID-19 mortality in rural chilean areas

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus around the world in March 2020, severely affected many areas of people’s life and health. Among the main ways to prevent its spread is by washing hands and food with soap and water. However, the latter is scarce in several municipalities of Chile, highlighting the difficulties of water supply at a national level. This work investigates the relationship between municipalities decreed by the government as being in a situation of water scarcity and the COVID-19 mortality levels found in rural areas between March 2020 and June 2021. Statistical data were used from different databases to correlate mortality rates with the level of municipal development and access to a drinking water network. A negative correlation was obtained between high COVID-19 mortality and low levels of communal development and connection to the drinking water network. As a result, it is deemed necessary to take into account geographical variables, such as water scarcity, in the generation of public health policies and water resource management.

Empirical study on the impact of digital economy on carbon emission intensity--based on the mediating role of technological innovation

With the proposal of “Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” goals, China is facing a more serious carbon emissions reduction situation, and how the booming digital economy effectively helps China’s carbon emissions reduction is one of the most urgent things that should be solved. To study the impact of the digital economy on carbon emission intensity, this paper is based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China (excluding Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) from 2011 to 2021, and applies the double-fixed effect model and the threshold effect model to study the impact of the digital economy on carbon emission intensity and the mechanism of its action, as well as to analyze the mechanism of the digital economy’s action on carbon emission intensity from the perspective of technological innovation. The results of the study show that: i) The digital economy can reduce the intensity of regional carbon emissions; ii) The carbon emission reduction effect of the digital economy is non-linear, and its carbon emission reduction effect gradually increases with the level of development of the digital economy; iii) In addition to the direct impact of the digital economy on carbon emission intensity, it also has an indirect impact on carbon emissions through technological innovation; iv) There is regional heterogeneity in the carbon emission reduction effect of the digital economy, and the carbon emission reduction effect is more significant in the central and western parts of the country and regions with a high level of human capital development. Based on the conclusions obtained, this paper suggests: i) The rational integration of the digital economy and regional development should be strengthened; ii) Strong provinces in the digital economy should be encouraged to help weaker provinces, to narrow the “digital divide” between provinces; iii) Differentiated development strategies should be formulated in accordance with local conditions, to give full play to the optimal effect of the digital economy in carbon emission reduction.

Pollutants emissions dynamics by stationary and mobile sources of pollution within Ukraine

Due to the current rapid socio-economic development of both the world as a whole and Ukraine in particular, the level of anthropogenic load on the environment is increasing. In this context, the analysis of emissions of pollutants from various sources of pollution is quite relevant, as it allows to identify the dynamics of pollution and develop the necessary measures to improve the quality of the air basin. Purpose. Analysis of the dynamics of emissions of pollutants by stationary and mobile sources of pollution within Ukraine. Methods. Statistical, graphic, comparison. Results. The dynamics of emissions of pollutants for the period 2016-2020 were analyzed. It was found that the number of emissions of hazardous substances into the atmospheric air has significantly decreased, stationary sources of pollution account for a much larger number of emissions than mobile sources. However, the highly urbanized and industrialized regions of Ukraine are still suffering from the toxic effects of substances. It was found that according to the types of economic activity, the largest amount of emissions into the atmospheric air falls on the electric power industry, extractive and processing industry; significantly less - for agriculture, water supply and transport. Conclusions. Most regions of Ukraine with a high level of industrial development continue to suffer from atmospheric air pollution. Taking into account modern global challenges in the field of nature management, the priority directions for reducing the negative impact on the air basin of Ukraine are: popularization of alternative energy sources; modernization of transport; promoting the development of green spaces and zones, etc

Cryopreservation of rat embryos at all developmental stages by small-volume vitrification procedure and rapid warming in cryotubes

Intracellular ice formation during cryopreservation is lethal to the cell, including during warming. Here, we examined the effect of sample volume and warming rate on the cryopreservation success of 1-cell rat embryos based on successful development into blastocysts in vitro and to term in vivo following embryo transfer. Embryos were equilibrated in 5% propylene glycol solution for 10 min, held for 40 s at 0 °C in cryopreservation solution (5%PG + PEPeS), and cooled by immersion in liquid nitrogen. When 1-cell embryos were cryopreserved in a volume of 30–100 μL at a cooling rate of 5830–7160 °C/min and warmed at 35,480–49,400 °C/min by adding 1 mL of 0.3 M sucrose solution at 50 °C, 17.3–28.8% developed into blastocysts, compared with 57.0% of untreated embryos. However, when 1-cell embryos were cryopreserved in a smaller volume of 15 μl at 7950 °C/min and warmed at 68,850 °C/min, 58.8 ± 10.6% developed into blastocysts and 50.0 ± 7.4% developed to term, comparable to that of non-treated embryos (57.0 ± 5.4% and 51.4 ± 3.1%, respectively). Cryopreserved embryos at other developmental stages also showed high in vitro culture potential similar to that of the control. Using a conventional cryotube and a small-volume vitrification procedure with rapid warming, we achieved high levels of subsequent rat embryonic development at all developmental stages.

Формирование и развитие цифровой экономики на региональном уровне

Introduction. Researchers around the world are in search of new sources and drivers of economic development and growth. In this regard, digital economy is becoming one of the main internal factors stimulating the economic activity of the country and its regions. Therefore, its emergence, development and measurement are becoming a priority at present. Theoretical analysis. It is important to note that the formation and development of digital economy is associated with the main trends in economic development that have developed as a result of the third and fourth industrial revolutions. In this way, digital economy reflects the transition from the third to the fourth industrial revolution. Industrial revolutions are associated with a radical change in old technological modes and the emergence of completely new technologies that have a huge impact and contribute to the transformation of the economy and other areas. Empirical analysis. In the course of the study, the process of digital transformation was considered not only at the national level, but also at the level of the regions of the Russian Federation. It was revealed that digitalization within the country, in some regions, is extremely uneven. There is a small group of leading cities with a high level of digital development, and there are many regions that lag behind, in which the population has limited access to modern technologies. In addition to the gap in access to digital technologies and the Internet, there is an inequality in digital competencies, knowledge and skills of users, and ways of using technology. Results. In current reality, in order to ensure their development, competitiveness on the world stage, maintain sovereignty and national security, as well as to improve the standard of living and well-being of the population, states need to stimulate the digitalization of the economy and other spheres of society, approaching this comprehensively and systematically, develop roadmaps and national programs for the development of digital economy, follow their transition to digital economy and use foreign countries experience in the formation of its ecosystem. Their analysis will make it possible to compare and assess the level of digitalization in Russia, to develop recommendations for faster and higher quality digital development.

Technological Innovations for Agricultural Production from an Environmental Perspective: A Review

Information and communication technology (ICT) in developing countries is a key element for growth and economic development. This work conducted an evaluation regarding the use of ICT to reduce the socioeconomic gaps of rural populations and promote its inclusion in development plans, considering its use to guarantee a sustainable development model. For this, a systematic review of 280 articles was carried out using the Scopus, Latindex, Scielo, Dialnet, Redalyc, and Google Scholar databases during the period from 2018 to 2023, of which 40 articles were selected that address the use of ICTs and the agricultural digitalization for the management of soil, water, and the application of fertilizers and agrochemicals, which guarantee sustainable agricultural development. The results show that there are numerous digital tools available based on artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), drones, apps, and the Internet of Things, which aid in soil and water management and make use of agrochemicals and water, thus improving efficiency and reducing pollution problems. However, there is a large gap at the international level in acquiring state-of-the-art technological equipment that takes advantage of the potential that exists in terms of new technologies and their efficient use. Much of the research on the use of ICTs in the agricultural field comes from countries with medium or high levels of technological development, especially from Asia, Europe, or North America. As a result, Latin America lags behind in this regard.

Problems and challenges in regulating the insurance market of Ukraine in the context of European integration

In Ukraine, the insurance market has historically faced problems with its development, which have been exacerbated by the full-scale Russian invasion. The study of difficulties in this area, assessing the prospects for European integration, remains relevant. The purpose of this study was to provide recommendations for more effective development of the insurance market in Ukraine based on the experience and principles of European countries. The methods that were used in the framework of the study were forecasting, systematisation, formal and legal. The paper assessed the role of the insurance market in the country, described the need for more active development, considering the positive aspects that arise in the case of a high level of development of this institution. It is concluded that significant losses were acquired in the insurance market of Ukraine due to a full-scale invasion of Russia, the causes of losses, and consequences in the future are described. Some opportunities for introducing the latest technologies into the sphere were also noted, both to improve the functioning of the market as a whole, and for its easier implementation in the structure of the European Union. As a result of the analysis of the regulatory framework of Ukraine and the European Union, it was concluded that the norms of EU unification are more stringent. This is conditioned by the stricter regulations described in some directives. Based on the analysis, recommendations have been formulated that can be used in the future to facilitate the European integration of the Ukrainian market. The results obtained in the framework of the study can be used in the development of the national policy of Ukraine for the development of the insurance sector

Quantitative analysis of low carbon effect of urban underground space in Xinjiekou district of Nanjing city, China

The expansion of megacities and the need to reduce carbon emissions have prompted the exploration of urban underground space as an important option. However, the lack of quantitative analysis on the low carbon effect of underground space hinders its further development. This study aims to address this gap by proposing a method to quantify the low carbon capacity and carbon emissions of urban underground space. The dynamic relationship between these factors under different development intensities is also investigated. A case study was conducted in the Nanjing Xinjiekou area, using data on underground space development since 2006. The results indicate that the low carbon capacity of underground space is lower than the carbon emission in the initial stage. However, over time, the net CO2 emission gradually decreases and eventually reaches zero carbon emission. The time to achieve zero carbon emission depends on the intensity of underground development and socioeconomic factors. When ignoring socioeconomic impact, a higher intensity of underground space corresponds to a faster time to reach zero carbon emissions. However, excessively high levels of development can result in a high vacancy rate, which negatively affects the low carbon capacity and delays the achievement of zero carbon emissions. Therefore, an optimal development intensity of underground space can be determined to minimize the time required to achieve zero carbon emission. Furthermore, a quantitative relationship between the optimal development intensity and urban economic indicator (i.e. civilian motor vehicles in this study) was established in this study based on zero carbon emission analysis. These findings provide valuable insights for achieving faster carbon neutrality in underground space development and inform future city planning strategies.

Measuring the Impact of Augmented Prototyping Systems in Co-Design Activities

In recent years, research reached a very high level of development and validation of augmented prototyping systems in support of collaborative design activities. However, there is still great scepticism in companies when it comes to integrating these new technologies within a consolidated working model. Among others, the main barrier to overcome concerns the lack of understanding of the impact of AR systems on the key objectives of a business, such as improving its efficiency and revenue. For this reason, this paper aims to quantify these indicators by observing the technological impact not on a single design session but on an entire product development process, during which the aspects related to its integration are also considered. Thanks to the collaboration with a design agency, it was possible to compare parameters such as the lead time, number of iterations, person-hours and costs between two similar and realistic projects in which only one was supported by projection-based AR technology.

What is a Developed Country, A Status India is Aiming to Achieve by 2047?

“Developed country” is a term used to describe a nation that has achieved a high level of economic development, technological advancement, and social well-being. The classification of countries as "developing" or "developed" is a complex topic that involves various economic, social, and political factors. Historically, the classification was often based on the economic indicators, but over time, the understanding of development has evolved to include a broader range of factors. During British colonial rule, India's wealth was indeed drained to Britain through various mechanisms. The British East India Company's exploitation of India's resources and industries during colonial rule left a lasting impact on the country's economic landscape. Post-independence, India faced multifaceted developmental challenges. Economically, the trajectory involved early mixed results, followed by the transformative liberalization, privatization, and globalization reforms in the 1990s. India experienced high growth, but recent years have seen challenges, including a growth slowdown and pandemic disruptions. Non-economic factors like the Human Development Index (HDI) shed light on disparities in life expectancy, education, and income. India, despite progress, remains a developing country due to factors like brain drain, population growth, income inequality, infrastructure challenges, corruption, and environmental issues. The Modi government's policies aim to make India a developed nation by 2047. Initiatives like Make in India, GST, Digital India, Skill India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, PMJDY, and PMAY address economic and social dimensions. Strategies include infrastructure development, skill enhancement, financial inclusion, and sustainable practices. Regular policy reviews and adaptability are crucial for these measures to contribute effectively to India's transformative development.

Has digital technology promoted the restructuring of global value chains? Evidence from China

Reconstruction is necessary for the GVC in the digital age. This paper examines the impact of digital technology input on China's participation in the reconstruction of the global value chain. The relative position of the GVC and the degree of bilateral cooperation in the GVC were constructed as an index to measure a country's participation in the reconstruction of the global value chain from a bilateral perspective. The study found that investment in digital technology has a significant positive impact on China's relative standing in the GVC and the level of bilateral cooperation within the GVC. Additional heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that digital technology input in capital-intensive industries has a more pronounced effect on China's participation in the reconstruction of the global value chain. The aforementioned promotion effects are amplified when developed economies and economies with a high level of financial development serve as trading partners. Examining the OBOR sample further reveals that the aforementioned promotion effects are similarly significant. Examining the mechanism reveals that digital technology input promotes China's participation in the reconstruction of the global value chain via two channels: increasing the export scale of high-tech products and exporting domestic added value.

CHARTING THE GREEN PATH: EMPIRICAL INSIGHTS INTO EU-UKRAINE ENVIRONMENTAL CONVERGENCE

The aim of the study is to conduct an empirical analysis of environmental convergence between the EU and Ukraine. This involves evaluating a set of indicators, identifying clusters of EU and Ukrainian countries to obtain adequate empirical estimates, and directly assessing not only the convergence process but also other patterns of environmental and economic development. Methodology. In addition to the classical models of beta, sigma, gamma and delta convergence, the study of environmental convergence should apply methods that focus on the growth process and the increase in the level of economic development of less developed countries, rather than simply on the reduction of development disparities. Such methods should emphasise the importance of efforts and policies aimed at bringing countries closer together and creating favourable conditions for their growth towards higher levels of development. The authors use the concept of upward convergence (divergence). The empirical analysis of environmental convergence between the EU and Ukraine was conducted for the period 2000-2021, divided into two sub-periods: 2000-2013 and 2014-2021, in order to identify trends in the Russian military invasion in 2014 and its impact on environmental and economic convergence during the war. Results. Studies of different types of convergence between Ukraine and the EU show different results: some indicators indicate convergence, while others show divergence. In fact, the interaction between Ukraine and the EU is a complex process that manifests itself differently depending on the specific indicators. Some aspects of cooperation are already leading to convergence and similarity between the countries, while others are leading to divergence. This demonstrates the need to implement effective strategies and policies of cooperation between Ukraine and the EU to achieve sustainable development. Practical implications. The results obtained can be used to develop environmental policies, commitments, forms of manifestation and main consequences for the ecological and economic system of Ukraine in the context of the Association Agreement and the European Green Deal. The fulfilment of obligations under these initiatives should become the basis for developing effective means of ensuring sustainable development through the implementation of the relevant state environmental and economic policy. Value/originality. The advantage of the proposed approach is that it takes into account negative growth, including environmental pollution. The results of the upward convergence assessment serve as a basis for the development of appropriate strategies, mechanisms, policies, effective governance, investment in human capital and infrastructure, and the creation of favourable conditions for entrepreneurship and innovation.

Features of using a step-platform for the development of physical abilities of girls engaged in sports aerobics at the stage of basic training

The article is devoted to studying the influence of exercises with a step-platform on the dynamics of development and improvement of physical abilities of athletes in sports aerobics. The purpose of the study is to study the effectiveness of the use of step-platform for the development of physical abilities of girls engaged in sports aerobics at the stage of basic training. To solve the problems of the study, the following methods were used: study, analysis, systematization and synthesis of literature on the topic of the study; questionnaires; pedagogical experiment; testing the level of development of physical abilities: flexibility, strength, speed strength and coordination abilities and endurance, mathematical and statistical methods. The study involved 20 girls who were involved in aerobic sports in the basic training groups of the fourth year. They were 11-12 years old by the beginning of the experiment. All subjects were divided into a control and experimental group of 10 athletes in each. For girls, the pilot group was to introduce six step-platform exercises over a 12-week period. Each of the developed complexes is aimed at the preferential development of one of the physical abilities requiring a high level of development in sports aerobics. The study proved that the systematic inclusion in training exercises of special exercises with step-platforms for three months contributed to a statistically probable increase in flexibility (at p<0.01), explosive force (at p<0.02), aerobic endurance (at p< 0.02) and strength endurance and agility (at p<0.05). In the construction of complexes should be used exercises aimed at increasing the level of both general physical preparedness and special.

Influence of high-intensity interval training on the level of development of cadets’ physical qualities

The article examines the influence of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the level of development of physical qualities of cadets, i.e. future officers of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The study was conducted at the Odesa Military Academy in 2022-2023. 60 male cadets took part in the study. Two groups were formed: EG (n=30), whose cadets were engaged in HIIT, and CG (n=30), whose cadets were engaged in current forms of physical training. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing, the methods of mathematical statistics. The level of cadets’ physical qualities development of was assessed based on the results of their performance of the following physical exercises: 100 m run, pull-ups on the crossbar, power lifting on the crossbar, push-ups on the parallel bars, 3 km run. The positive influence of HIIT on the level and dynamics of the development of physical qualities of paratrooper cadets has been established. At the end of the experiment, the results of EG cadets in most of the studied exercises turned out to be significantly better than those of CG cadets. The most pronounced influence of HIIT was found on the level of development of strength qualities and endurance of cadets: the difference between the results of EG and CG cadets at the end of the experiment in pull-ups on the crossbar is 2.7 times, in power lifting on the crossbar – 2.1 times, in push-ups on the parallel bars – 5.1 times, in the 3 km run - 20.2 s. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness of HIIT in modern conditions of training of future specialists of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The high level of development of the physical qualities of paratrooper cadets will ensure the formation of their physical readiness to perform tasks as assigned in the future.

Features of creating an interactive mapping web application for the analysis of space images

In the era of the high level of technological achievements of remote sensing of the Earth and the high level of development of web cartography, interactive web applications for the analysis of data of remote sensing of the Earth are gaining more and more popularity. Considering the large amount of space image data, and the complexity and heterogeneity of the analysis tools that need to be developed, the question arises of quickly and efficiently creating an interactive web application for the analysis of space images that will help scientists monitor and study changes in the Earth's surface and predict optimal ways of territory development with minimal expenditure of time and resources. In solving such a question, the specialized web platform Google Earth Engine (GEE) can help. The purpose of the article is to highlight the characteristics and advantages of the GEE platform by creating an interactive web application using the example of analyzing changes in the NDVI index. Analyzing GEE allows us to conclude that this web-platform provides a comprehensive solution for creating interactive cartographic web applications for the analysis of space images with a built-in IDE. It will help to significantly reduce development time and costs, allowing for quick and efficient analysis of Earth remote sensing data.

Forecasting Future Development under the Interactions among Sustainable Development Goals

Simulating the performance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provides guidance to policymakers for faster achievement of the 2030 Agenda. However, current modeling and forecasting methods are not well thought out in terms of interactions between the SDGs. This study developed an iteration forecasting model considering the interactions of SDGs and simulated the SDGs’ progress from 2021 to 2030 for 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta under various sustainable development paths. The results indicated that the cities with the highest levels of sustainable development in the Yangtze River Delta would only achieve half of the goals by 2030 if they continued on their past paths. Learning from other cities resulted in a more significant improvement in the achievement of SDGs. Furthermore, the higher the development cost, the better the achievement of the goals. Compared to the other goals, SDG11 and SDG13 required higher development costs to be achieved. We optimized the development paths by taking development costs and goal attainment into account. The results showed that cities with high levels of economic development are more likely than cities with low levels of economic development to achieve SDG8 and SDG9 by 2030, while the opposite is true for SDG15.

Banks, financial markets, and income inequality

AbstractWhile financial development is often found to raise income inequality, it remains unclear whether the composition of the financial system makes a difference. In our sample of 99 countries over the period 1975–2020, increased activity of banks relative to markets in the provision of financial services is robustly associated with less inequality in the developing world yet with more inequality in developed economies. Accounting for redistribution systems does not alter this finding; banking sector concentration amplifies the effects. Results suggest that banks work at the extensive margin at earlier stages of economic development yet shift to the intensive margin at higher levels of development, where they increasingly serve the interests of the rich. Higher market power enables banks to better pursue their objectives at each of the margins.

Agro-ecological state of land resources of Kamianets-Podilskyi distrist of Khmelnytskyi region

The peculiarities of the agro ecological state of land resources of Kamianets Podilskyi district have been analyzed in the article. The structure of the agricultural lands of the district, the ecological condition and ecological sustainability of land resources has been studied. The territorial differences in the land use structure in Kamiantes-Podilskyi TC have been defined. Based on the conducted research we have found out the main type the land use within all the TC of the district is the agricultural, which is evidenced by the high level of agricultural development (76,3 %). The highest rate of agricultural development is in Chemerivtsi TC (84 %). In the structure of agricultural lands the largest part in all TCs is taken up by arable land. The agricultural lands dominate in the structure of the land fund and take up 358,20 thousand ha. Arable land takes up 223,4 thousand ha, perennial plantations – 19,5 thousand ha, pastures and hayfields – 89,9 thousands ha, fallow lands – 0,37 thousand ha, agricultural buildings – 7,59 thousand ha. Based on such indicators as the structure of agricultural land, the area of arable land, and the area of agricultural land we have analyzed the intensity and the level of agricultural development and plowed territory of the district. A significant area within the district is occupied by agricultural land – 333,2 thousand ha. The largest share in the structure of agricultural land is occupied by arable land – 67,2 %. The share of hayfields and pastures is 26,8 %, and perennial plantations – 5,8 %. The high share of arable land (67,2 %) in the structure of agricultural land and the agricultural development (76,3 %) of the territory of the district affects the structure of the land fund of both the individual TCs and the district overall and determines the efficiency of the use of land resources. In the structure of agricultural land, hayfields and pastures occupy smaller areas than arable land (34.402,8 ha and 55.576,5 ha, respectively). The share of these lands in the structure of agricultural lands is 26,8 %. Within the district, there is a certain territorial differentiation in terms of indicators of the ecological state, ecological sustainability and anthropogenic transformation. The average index of ecological sustainability of land resources for the Kamianets-Podilskyi district is 0,81. Thus, the land resources of the district can be attributed to the group of conditionally sustainable. Anthropogenic transformation within Kamianets-Podilsky district varies from the maximum of 7,5 in Kamianets-Podilskyi TC to the minimum in Orynyn TC – 5,9. When analyzing the territorial features of the location of the TC according to this indicator, it has been found out that the southern and eastern parts of the district have an average level of anthropogenic transformation. The average indicator of anthropogenic transformation within the district is 6,27. The following pattern is observed between the indicators of ecological sustainability and anthropogenic transformation: in TCs where anthropogenic transformation is very strong, the ecological sustainability of land is low (non-sustainable land). Conservation and reproduction of land resources is especially relevant for the Podilia region, including the Kamianets-Podilskyi district, as land resources are the main type of resources here. The basis of the balanced use of land resources is the combination of their functions: ecological, economic and social. Keywords: land resources, structure of agricultural lands, ecological sustainability, anthropogenic impact, ecological state.
