Cherpitsky O. Ecology-Economic Mechanisms of Land Resources Protection Against Degradation Processes in Market Conditions

The dissertation is devoted to a question of a substantiation of ecology-economic mechanisms of protection of land resources against degradation processes in market conditions. In operation it is proved essence of concepts of "ecology-economic mechanisms", it is carried out their classification. It is made the analysis of formation and functioning of these mechanisms on region level in market conditions, it is calculated efficiency of their action. It is specified, that existing mechanisms not completely carry out protective actions. Therefore degradation processes are developing; the condition of an environment worsens. On an example of Zhitomir region the analysis of protective action of existing is constant-operating elements of a construction of agrolandscapes is carried out, necessity of their reconstruction is established, and also it is offered new land management, material-technical mechanisms, which would promote increase of agrolandscapes productivity and on this basis formation of sustainable land tenure. By one of the major ecological mechanisms it is certain development of "Regional programs of use and protection of land resources" in which concrete territorial and nature-climatic conditions, which exercise influence over development soil-erosive and other degradation processes are considered, a modern condition of an environment, economic activities, which is carried out in the given territory. Vital issue of prevention of erosion of the lands and downturn of its intensity up to a level, which responses rates of soil-formation process and erosion zoning of region. The specified zoning is carried out for the first time, in which basis materials of large-scale inspection of soils with reproduction of two factors of erosion - existing erosion and potential hazard of erosion, which provide the greatest information about erosive processes, are taken. Therefore this zoning is necessary as a basis of development of ecological mechanisms of protection of land resources against degradation processes.Efficiency of the offered mechanisms is defined in economic, ecological and social directions.
