Current land use necessitate development of scientific bases, ways of territorial organization of land ownership, strengthening the protection of land resources and soils. Analysis and evaluation of human modification of the geosystems is an integral part of sustainable land management of any environmental policy. Degradation of natural ecosystems associated with growing antropization and environmental protection.
The article examines the contents and components of the new methodology for anthropization extent’ analysis for Ukrainian landscapes. Article reveals the theory and evaluation approaches of the geosystem`s anthropogenic transformation, describes the possibility of using up-to-date GIS technology, satellite imageries, geospatial web services to evaluate the state of geosystems, determine land covers and land use systems. New methodology is need to give an assessment of the antropization degree of landscapes under increasing human impact, and as a consequent the violation of their structure, functioning. The article reveals old approaches` inconsistencies, lack of content systematization and model formalization of Ukrainian and foreign concepts for anthropization extent’ analysis of landscapes. In addition, there were defined principles and approaches to foundation and future realization of procedure for analysis of Ukrainian landscapes’ anthropization extent, which will have all-European interoperability. Publication singles out verification component of methodology, that can be implemented through geoinformation instruments using thematic maps, satellite imageries, global land cover web services, data of land monitoring and other materials. For prediction and simulation of potential land use activities the Scenario Evaluation System was suggested by European scientists and delighted in article in order to emphasize importance of interoparable methodology for anthropization extent’ analysis for landscapes.
