The article presents the author’s vision of the methodological approach to analyzing the land use as an important component of the complex assessment of area when developing a complex plan of spatial development of the territorial community area. The work describes main components of the analysis of using land of environmental-protection purpose and necessary measures, namely choice of the analyzed object (land cover of the community area or separate types of land cover); collection of data about the land use (field, soil, geobotanic observations; geospatial data; information about anthropogenic changes of the land cover; information about ecosystem functions and services of the different types of lands); analysis of the obtained data (positive/negative transformations of the land cover; comparison of the cadastral data and actual conditions of the land use; assessment of the obtained/lost ecosystem services due to the land use). Based on the conducted analysis, it is recommended to make conclusions about conditions of the land resources use and consider those conclusions when developing and substantiating alternative decisions concerning the ecologically oriented and environmental use of the area. The methodological approach has been tested on the area of Zolochiv town community in Zolochiv district of Lviv region when analyzing the natural reserve area, territory of Emerald network of Ukraine, land plots with the self-sown forest vegetation, water-swamp lands. According to the analysis results, the following proposals are supplied, particularly to reduce fragmentation of the reserved areas, included in the Emerald network by creating ecological corridors; agricultural lands with the self-sown forests and swamp meadows should be qualified as environmental-protection area in the structure of the Emerald network. It is determined that by relating the ecosystem and human activity revealed in changes of the land use, one can get necessary information for the strategic ecological assessment of the project decisions of a complex plan. It will enable analyzing diversity of the ecosystem services and their impact on the ecological safety, studying how ecosystem responds to human activity, choosing optimal environmental measures as to reservation, forestation, renaturalization or restoration of natural ecosystems.
