Abstract
Problem Statement and Purpose The article deals with the research of the framework of anthropogenic and technogenic loading as a direction of ensuring the rational use of the territory in the conditions of increasing conflict and competitiveness of the types of economic activity in the region. The purpose of the work is to constructan integrated scheme of anthropogenic and technogenic loads and to estimate the level of anthropogenic- technogenic loads of the Ukrainian Black Sea region. The object of the study is the framework of anthropogenic and technogenic loads. Thesubject of research is spatial distribution of structural elements of a framework of anthropogenic and technogenic loads. Data & Methods The construction of the integrated map of anthropogenic and technogenic loads is based on the data of the National Atlas of Ukraine, maps of the regional ecological network and recreational zoning of the territory of the Ukrainian Black Sea region, which were developed by the authors in previous studies, the stock materials of the department of economic and social geography and tourism of the Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University. As a methodological basis, the developments described in the scientific papers published by O. G. Topchiev are used. In this paper were used general scientific methods in geographic research, mapping, comparative-geographical, and statistical methods. Results The framework of anthropogenic-technogenic loads on the natural environment of the region is a kind of antipode of the natural framework of ecological safety of the region. Its structural elements are settlements, transport communications, land of various economic purposes and use, as well as socio-economic objects that carry an environmental hazard. The influence of the population with its production activity on the natural environment can have several levels from admissible, to critical and extracurricular. The Ukrainian Black Sea region due to its maritime position is characterized by the seaside-facade type of territorial organization of the economy, which in turn leads to uneven anthropogenic and technogenic load on the natural environment. The territorial structure of anthropogenic as well as technogenic loading is determined by the system of resettlement of the region. The highest level of anthropogenic-technogenic load falls on a fairly narrow part of the coastal strip of the Odesa agglomeration, suburbs of Mikolaev and Kherson. In the second place in terms of anthropogenic-technogenic load are: agglomeration on the basis of Nova Kakhovka, Kakhovka and Berislav, as well as agricultural areas located in the east and south-east of the Ukrainian Black Sea region. In the Odesa region, above the average level, the anthropogenic and technogenic loads also has the Danube and Podilsk regions. The central part of the region is characterized by the lowest level compared with other subregions. Identification and mapping of the framework of anthropogenic-technogenic loads to the region allowed to compare the natural and anthropogenic frames to the region, to identify the most problematic areas, which in turn will provide an opportunity to substantiate the strategy of rational territorial organization of nature-population-economy in the process of territory planning.
