The Dniester river basin is the fourth largest river in Ukraine and the largest in the Republic of Moldova, it lies within the Black Sea basin. The total length of the river is 1,350 km, the basin area is more than 72,000 km2. Approximately 8.5 million people (5.5 million in Ukraine and 2.7 million in Moldova) live in the basin. The basin supports agriculture, aquaculture, water supply, recreation, hydro-power generation, production of building materials, woodworking industry, and mining. Today there are serious ecological challenges within the Dniester River Basin, including the impact on the water flow regime (quantity and fluctuations) and pollution (quality), loss of biodiversity, climate change and resources management which needs significant improvements. The overall objective of the project is to support ‘Integrated water resources management in the Dniester river basin to strengthen sustainable development, through the update of the TDA, development and endorsement of the SAP and initiation of its implementation,’ and has been designed to deal with important water/environment issues within Moldova and Ukraine. The main directions of work will be: Undertaking a detailed situation analysis in the transboundary Dniester basin (TDA) and agreeing on the joint Strategic Action Programme (SAP). These will support the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine to implement the EU Water Framework Directive (EU Association Agreements signed in 2014 by both countries), the National Environment Strategies for the Republic of Moldova for the period 2014 -2023 and the National Environmental Policy Strategy of Ukraine to 2020, Support to the transboundary management bodies, and to facilitate the national inter- sectoral and stakeholder dialogues, which fall under the obligations of the two states to implement the UNECE Water Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes and the EU WFD, Addressing the issue of water quantity taking into account the needs of various upstream and downstream stakeholders (working with the hydropower sector, water balance, addressing adaption to climate change) which are reflected in the National Adaptation Strategy for the Republic of Moldova (2014), and the bilateral Strategic Framework for Adaption to Climate Change in the Dniester River Basin (2015), 2 Implementing pilot projects on some of the most burning issues on the basin: degradation of the small rivers, loss of biological diversity. Actions on these issues are prescribed by the Strategy for Biodiversity Conservation of the Republic of Moldova for 2015-2020, National Environmental Policy Strategy of Ukraine till 2020, bilateral Strategic Framework for Adaption to Climate Change in the Dniester River Basin (2015), and the management plans for several wetlands of international importance (the Ramsar sites) located along in the Dniester river. All project activities will follow a gender strategy to be developed in the inception phase and will, as a minimum, record sex-disaggregated data on all participants.

As a result, the Polish Eastern border also became an external border of the EU. European Neighbourhood Policy instruments were made available to develop cross-border cooperation with the Eastern neighbours based on common values and goals. Building a zone of sustainable development whilst maintaining cultural diversity and tolerance became a joint priority for the border regions of Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. The border regions gained a great opportunity to strengthen their cooperation through the realisation of com- mon projects within the ENPI CBC Programme Poland-Bela- rus-Ukraine 2007-2013. I am proud to present a series of publications reflecting how the regions from the eligible area of the Programme ap- proached cross-border cooperation and what specific pro- jects are being implemented on their territories to improve development processes.

The results of literature review show that when the object of branding is a national nature park or any other nature protected object, intangible elements of the brand (affirmative opinions, beliefs and associations) must be based on the principle of eco-friendliness, and the tangible elements (logo, colours, design, semantic and visual effects) reflect this primary value. This is the so-called eco-brand which provides the ecological prerogative of the positioning object. The aim of this paper is to analyze the tangible and intangible components of Ukrainian national nature parks brands, their current market positioning, as well as the development of proposals for eco-brand formation of the national parks.

  • Nature Conservation Areas in Galicia
    Ukrainian Journal of Ecology, , 204-209 REVIEW ARTICLE Nature conservation areas in Galicia V.M. Klapchuk, M.V. Klapchuk, R.P. Zahnybida, O.V. Pozdniakov Department of Natural Sciences, Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine E-mail: [email protected] Received: 13.02.2019. Accepted: 15.03.2019 The first environmental document in the Austrian Empire was the “Statute on Forests”. Since 1870, first attempts had been made to ensure protection of some endangered species of animals and plants, rare objects of animate and inanimate nature. At the beginning of the 20th century, conservation work was carried out by enthusiasts. In 1910, scientists joined environmental activities. The Copernicus Society of Naturalists proposed to establish forest conservation reserves in the Eastern Carpathians and steppe conservation reserves in Podillia. The society also began the inventory of natural sites. An important role in nature conservation activity was played by the Dzieduszycki Museum of Natural History that provided the first description of natural sites. In 1886, W. Dzieduszycki established a beech forest conservation reserve and called it “Pamiatka Peniatska”. In 1928, the League for Nature Protection was founded. The Congress of Polish, Czechoslovakian and Romanian Scientists adopted a resolution to create several conservation reserves along the Dniester valley. On March 10, 1934, the Sejm of the Commonwealth of Poland adopted the Law “On the Protection of Nature“. In 1935, 4 forest conservation reserves were created. In 1936, a conservation reserve was created in the estate of Gołuchowski in Yaniv. 2 natural protected areas were established on the border of Podillia and Volhynia.

PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ARCHITECTURAL-SPATIAL ORGANIZATION Yurii Ohonok Postgraduate Student, Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, Ukraine Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.36713/epra6579 ABSTRACT Territorial development of settlements is important not only because of its special role in the socio-economic life of the state. Its importance is also connected with the fulfillment of Ukraine’s commitments to harmonize the current legislation and quality of life standards with the requirements of the EU, cooperation with which remains one of the priorities of our country’s European integration. The need for a modern comprehensive reassessment of the role of settlements in general in supporting the economic development of the region is due to the significant natural, resource-production, labor and other available potentials of the settlement environment. Ternopil region has a huge recreational potential, it is: natural resources, monuments of history and architecture, pilgrimage centers. All this attracts tourists, not only from Ukraine but also from abroad. The use of rich recreational resources will allow to build resorts, rest homes, tourist bases in Ternopil region, which in a short period of time can raise the economy of the region, welfare, recreation culture and improve the process and quality of population health recovery. Increasing the capacity of tourist and recreational infrastructure by attracting domestic and foreign investment is one of the priority areas of socio-economic and cultural development of Ternopil region in recent years.

We compiled 935 records from published literature (324), from public databases (68), and from 12 field surveys we made in 2016–2020 (543). All records were mapped on to a grid of 10×10 km, representing the 294 cells of the studied area. We present new distributional data for Podarcis tauricus. For all the other species, our records add new localities that fall within areas where these reptiles were previously reported. Species richness and Shannon’s H’ index show that herpetofauna diversity was higher in the areas along the Southern Bug River. The maximum number of records within a single cell was 118 (for 10 species) in this oblast. Also the high number of identified reptile chorotypes (nine) within the Mykolaiv Oblast revealed that southern Ukraine is an important zoogeographical territory in Europe.
