Purpose. The exploration the topic features of the biocentric-network landscapes structure (configuration) of the Left-Bank the Dnipro river of Ukraine territory on the example of the one tested research area – area of exploration the mixed-forest landscape complexes, for the future possibility of usage obtained results for the purpose of landscape planning tools implementation.
Methods. Analysis, synthesis, mapping, construction graphic simulation and matrix models, metrization, comparative geographical.
Results. The biocentric-network configuration of landscapes (BNCL) is understood as a variety of biocenters that located at the matrix of landscapes and along which the biotic migrations take places. ..... 
Conclusions. The calculation of elements the BNCL helps us to distinguish «central» and «provincial» biocenters within the tested area. Altogether, received results of graphical and matrix modeling the BNCL at the local level will be a good background for the future landscape planning tools implementation.

Мета. Дослідження топічних особливостей біоцентрично-сітьової ландшафтної структури (конфігурації) території Лівобережної України на прикладі однієї з тестових ділянок у її складі – ділянки дослідження мішанолісових ландшафтних комплексів, для потреб подальшої реалізації інструментарію ландшафтного планування.
Методи. Аналізу, синтезу, картографування, графічного та матричного моделювання, метризації, порівняльно-географічний.
Результати. У представленій статті стисло окреслено зміст поняття «біоцентрично-сітьової ландшафтної структури території/конфігурації» та специфіку виокремлення її структурних елементів. .....
Висновки. Виявлено «центральні» та «периферійні» екоядра, які у першу чергу заслуговують на увагу під час імплементації схем ландшафтного планування як важливі елементи розбудови екомережі локального ієрархічно-просторового рівня.
