Sustainable use and optimization of the natural resource potential of the landscapes in Rivne district, Rivne region
Abstract
Purpose. Analysis of the current state of the natural resource potential of the Rivne district of the Rivne region to determine the possibilities of its use.
Methods. Statistical, cartographic, system analysis, SWOT analysis.
Results. In the Rivne district, a variety of natural conditions and resources have been formed that can be used/are used for the development of the construction, energy industries and agriculture. The hydrogeological conditions of the territory provide small volumes of production of both medicinal and table water and mineral water. Water resources in combination with optimal climatic conditions make it possible to create a network of recreational complexes. Most communities located in the south of the district have an unstable landscape due to the predominance of unstable elements of the natural environment, intensive economic development and the development of agricultural production. This situation is due to the low indicators of forestation and conservation of these territories. The conducted SWOT analysis outlined the weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats to the development of the natural resource potential of the Rivne district.
Conclusions. Rivne district of Rivne region has a powerful and diverse natural resource potential, which, if used rationally, can become the basis for sustainable development of territories. The opportunities of the district are related to the development of renewable energy, the implementation of international and state environmental protection programs. Threats - climate change, disruption of the ecological balance, irrational use of nature.
