Based on the chosen indicators were built “guiding star”, which give a clear understanding of the dynamics of change in each of the subsystems, level of its stability and potential of subsystem to restore. Conclusions:  in general, the results of the evaluation according to the methodology of Harmut Bossel showed overall instability of the ecological system of the Poltava region, which is typical for the entire investigated period (2005–2015 years).
