SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERRITORIAL SPACE OF THE VORONEZH REGION

Abstract

The relevance of the topic. Ensuring the sustainable development of the territorial space of the Voronezh Region, of course, while preserving the socio-economic potential should be based on preserving the ecological state of the environment. Goal. Analysis and further development of the network of specially protected natural territories by expanding the structure of the network of specially protected territories in order to maintain the sustainable development of the territorial space of the Voronezh region. Methodology. Methods of logical and comparative analysis of practices of forming a network of specially protected natural territories. Results and conclusions. The territory of the Voronezh Region is the agricultural breadbasket of the country, where open spaces predominate on which agricultural land is located. These are especially valuable lands that produce agricultural products. The analysis showed that for the Central Black Earth Zone, specially protected areas should occupy 10 percent of the territory, and currently they occupy 5.25 %. Despite this, it is not advisable to transfer land to specially protected natural areas on a large scale. The development of specially protected natural areas should be carried out by transferring various types of terrain and tracts into micro-reserves. The number and density of micro–orders directly depends on the specific climatic, soil, geobotanical and other features of the space. Sustainable development of the territory of the Voronezh Region by preserving landscape and agro-landscape diversity, expanding the structure of specially protected natural areas, introducing ecological and landscape design principles into the practice of space organization can play a significant role in maintaining the sustainable development of the Voronezh Region. Scope of application. Economics of environmental management and land use.
