Abstract
Geoinformation modeling of the anthropization extent in the Zakhidnoukrainskyi physic-geographic region with the use of modern spatial data bases, formed from remote sensing data, showed an essential anthropogenic impact on the regional landscapes. All physic-geographic sub-regions of the region are greatly anthropized. Most physic-geographic districts also fell under great anthropization, and in two districts very great anthropization was simulated. Cause-effect analysis of simulated high anthropogenic impact level in the region demonstrated the objectivity of the achieved results. Thus, only about 18% of the regional area is under environmental favorable land use and/or land cover (LULC) systems. However very geonegative LULC systems predominate, among which broad-leaved forest tilled, village built-up, recreational and geo-negative hydromelioration systems are the most widespread. The obtained results affirm the validity of the applied geoinformation-model approaches. They can be directly implemented, together with the created spatial data bases, in regional schemes and projects of environmental management for its optimization and realization of effective environmental protection measures.
