Abstract
Problem Statement and Purpose. With each passing year, the problem of land resource degradation in Ukraine becomes more and more urgent. Its solution requires detailed analysis of the peculiarities of territorial and functional structure of agri cultural land use on the level of administartive regions. The aim of the article is to assess the current state and peculiarities of agricultural land use in Husyatyn region. Data & Methods. The research was based on the data provided by State land legislation agency in Ternopil oblast, statistical data and field observations. The following scientific methods of analysis were used during the research: analysis, synthesis, carthographic, geographical and comparative, stylistical and analytical analyses, mathematical, systematisation, descriptive, observation, generalisation methods etc. Results. The development of agricultural land use within Husyatyn region goes back to eneolit. Intensive agriculture lead to rapid changes in natural landscapes, especially the creation of large arable massifs. Modern structure of Husyatyn region land fund is irrational. Farmlands play the main role in the structure. As of 1 January 2015, farmlands occupied the area of 76126,64 hectares with 87.9% being used in tillage. In the process of the research, we managed to build a skeleton map that reflects agricultural reclamation of the territory and the structure of the farmlands in terms of administrative formations. Tillage plays an important role in the regional farmlands. A respective skeleton map was formed in order to analyse the geospatial peculiarities of tillage expansion. The article also provides calculation of the amount of trillage per capita in terms of village councils. Hayfields and grasslands in the structure of Husyatyn region lands occupy rather small areas and are divided very unevenly. In the structure of crop sown areas the main part is taken by grains (61%), industrial crops (24%), potatoes and vegetable crops (12%) and forage crops ( only 3%). The analysis of the state of land resources proves the existence of a wide range of geoecological problems, such as excessive ploughness, insufficient level of soil nutrients and large areas of disturbed land. Taking this into account, the main task of plant cultivation is to decrease the ploughness and to conserve low-productive lands. Complete closure of agricultural activity on any land once it has been unsoldered is impossible. Thus, it is reasonable to convert it into hayfields or grasslands, increase the area of perennial crops.
