Abstract
Application of knowledge about landscapes as a powerful tool for making effective management decisions related to the territory today for our state acquires particular importance in the context of post-war challenges facing Ukraine, in particular those related to the restoration of landscapes disturbed by military activity. Important in this context is the experience of developed countries, which have made significant progress in involving the concept of landscape in the sphere of practice, including through the consistent implementation of the provisions of the European Landscape Convention. The purpose of this study is to reveal the specific features of the implementation of the concept of landscape in practice in the UK, and to demonstrate its potential for solving a wide range of problematic issues facing society in the context of sustainable development. In the course of this research scientific publications on the topic and some legal documents, which refer to the landscape, guidances and guidelines, developed with the support and often with direct participation of the authorized government agencies, were analyzed. The methodology of landscape character assessment has been the scientific basis for landscape representation in practice in Great Britain since the late 1980s. Today, adapted in particular to townscapes and seascapes, it passes through various methodological documents in many fields of practice related to the territory. The landscape character represented by this methodology has become an integral part of numerous strategies, policies and plans at different levels of the administrative division of the state, which provides the necessary consideration in the decision-making of the landscape features of the territory in a combination of natural, socio-cultural and perceptual components.
