Monitoring of anthropogenic impact in the Left Bank Dnipro and the Eastern Ukrainian regions
... CES are inherently more difficult to assess than provisioning or regulating services , perhaps with the exception of recreation, for which market value can be derived (Fish et al., 2016). Because of its amenability to market valuation, recreation has been the most frequently assessed and measured CES (Havrylenko et al., 2022;Samoilenko et al., 2021). The most appropriate methods to assess the social benefits of CES and their effects on human well-being are therefore those involving the stakeholders themselves -that is, those whose wellbeing is affected (Schmidt et al., 2016;. ...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cultural ecosystem services of the Kremenetski Hory National Nature Park (NNP) and to substantiate the feasibility of changing the spatial distribution of functional zones of its territory. The Travel Cost Method was used to assess the tourist and recreational value, while the Conditional Value Method was used to assess the aesthetic heritage value. The flaws revealed during the research prompted some improvements to the existing calculation methodology. The calculated value of tourist and recreational ecosystem services of the Kremenetski Hory NNP amounts to 156,713.89 per year. The obtained results indicate a sufficiently high quality of cultural ecosystem services provided by the National Park, therefore such assessment should be conducted regularly for the purposes of their monitoring. Numerous environmental conflicts were identified within the studied protected area, the majority of which are a consequence of imperfectly defined functional zones. Improving the functional zoning of the Kremenetski Hory NNP in accordance with our proposed scheme will contribute to minimizing environmental conflicts and preventing further degradation of the ecosystem services within the studied area. The assessment of ecosystem services aims to persuade society of the necessity to preserve ecosystems in order to continue obtaining essential benefits (services) from them.
The English-Ukrainian textbook deals with the methodological foundations and applied aspects of designing geographic information systems (GIS). General approaches and technologies are considered regarding: basic (initial) and strate-gic GIS designing, GIS software and hardware designing, and operation and fi-nal GIS designing with examples of developing GIS of the transboundary Dan-ube River Basin.
Textbook is intended for students of higher education and teachers of natu-ral, primarily geographic, specialties of universities and higher education institu-tions, as well as scientists and specialists who apply geographic information technologies in the scope of environment preservation and recovery, taking into account international environmental cooperation.

The conceptual foundations and tools concerning the procedure of anthropization ex-tent analysis for landscapes and physical-geographic taxons are presented. The proce-dure is interoperable for pan-European and Ukrainian approaches. The categorical-classified scheme of the landscape anthropization extent depending on the anthropogenic impact extent of land use and/or land cover (LULC) systems is considered. This impact is specified by the corresponding degrees of hemeroby, impact intensity, geoecological positivity / negativity and naturalness of LULC systems. The non-linear parameterized by septiles scale of landscapes' anthropization extent is constructed. The generalized scales of anthropization extent for terrestrial and aqua-terrestrial landscapes are given. The scale of geoecological situation in land use is formed. The procedure has been im-plemented for mixed and broad-leaved forests and forest-steppe zones with modeling and complex analysis of the anthropization extent for physic-geographic taxons at the megaregional, regional, sub-regional and district levels. The presented analytical ap-proaches can be implemented in regional schemes and projects of nature management for its optimization and implementation of effective environmental measures, in particu-lar, in the post-war period. These measures should be aimed at regulating the anthropo-genic load on landscapes in order to reduce it, considering the transboundary dimension.
Textbook is intended for students and lectures of natural, first of all geographic, spe-cialties at universities and higher education institutions, as well as specialists in the scope of conservation and recovery of the environment based on the optimization of re-source use, taking into account international environmental cooperation.
