Abstract
The formation of new and development of existing territorial communities requires taking into account not only Ukrainian but also foreign experience in rational nature management. The purpose is to analyze the publications of foreign scientists on the rational use of the landscape of territorial communities for its further implementation in Ukraine.
In the course of the study, the principles of consistency, complexity and interrelation with the relevant methods - analysis and synthesis of scientific generalizations of GIS technologies - were used. It is noted that Ukrainian geographers and landscape scientists have so far paid little attention to this problem. The problem of understanding by foreign scientists of the concepts of «territory», «landscape» and «territorial landscape» is considered, it is shown that they are used «freely» and there is no consensus. This sometimes leads to an unclear solution to the problem, especially in the field of planning the landscape structure of territorial communities. The article shows the importance of landscape studies for balanced territorial planning and knowledge of the landscape structure of community territories. Foreign scientists consider landscape structure as a factor that affects the provision of modern ecosystem services. Considerable attention is paid to the quality of the landscape of territorial communities, which is determined by using landscape assessment metrics. It is noted that the combination of the results of quality assessment and structural analysis of the landscape of territorial communities is one of the real ways of their further development. The analysis of foreign experience in the development of territorial communities, especially measures for the rational restructuring and further use of the landscape structure of their territories, should be continued. This experience will be essential in the postwar years of development of territorial communities in Ukraine.
