The work clarified the concept and essence of land use of water protection zones and coastal strips within the territories of cities, summarized the foreign and domestic experience of the formation of land use of water protection zones and coastal strips within the territories of cities, and determined the methodological bases of its formation and development. It is substantiated that the land use of water protection zones and coastal strips within the territories of cities is understood as a territorial complex of optimal interrelationships of land, water, other natural resources and the atmosphere through the composition and structure of the functional use of the land area, the system of organization and methods of land, water and other use of natural resources on different property rights as an object of law, an object of economic, ecological-water, recreational and other land and water relations of a certain part of the unified land fund of Ukraine. It was found that the essence of land use of water protection zones and coastal strips within the territories of cities should be considered as the effectiveness of the organization of a set of relevant types of social life activities, which are carried out in a specific territory with the involvement of land and water resource factors in one form or another and with the appropriate rights, on different scales and with different functional content in the process of economic, ecological-water, recreational and other relations and rights of subjects of preservation, restoration and use of land and water resources. It is substantiated that the catalysts for initiating the development of an integrated approach to the formation and management of land use of water protection zones and coastal strips in countries with different levels of economic development were: deterioration of the environment; proposals for the development of coastal and marine zones; national, regional and local initiatives; initiatives of non-governmental organizations, international organizations; external financing; recommendations of international summits, etc. It is substantiated that as the scale of the problems of land use formation and management of water protection zones and coastal strips decreases, the priority of the natural component decreases and the social significance of the processes related to this problem increases. Trends in land use changes in water protection zones and coastal strips within the territory of the city of Kyiv were studied. An assessment of the ecological condition and safety of land use of water protection zones and coastal protection strips and its socio-economic consequences was carried out. It was found that the boundaries of water protection zones in the city of Kyiv were not established, and the area of coastal protection strips has not changed since 2015 and is only 2,056 ha. It was also established that in the General Plan of the city of Kyiv for the period until 2020, there is no information about water protection zones. It was established that the excessive anthropogenic load on the land use of water protection zones and coastal protective strips and the hydroecosystem led to a significant deterioration of the quality of surface waters in Kyiv as a result of the development of various industries, dense development of the territory and asphalting of the soil cover. In the dissertation, the main directions for improving the institutional support for the development of urban land use in water protection zones and coastal strips were formed, ecological, economic and institutional directions for the development of land use in water protection zones and coastal strips were proposed, methodical approaches for assessing the cost of land use in water protection zones and coastal strips were improved. Іt was proposed to supplement the structure and content of the land management projects regarding the organization and establishment of boundaries of the territories of the water fund lands and water protection zones. a logical and meaningful model of the methodological process of institutionalization of the development of land use of water protection zones and coastal protection strips of the city of Kyiv was
developed, which includes, in addition to national level documents, regional and local level documents. It was found that in the city of Kyiv at the time of the research, none of the local level documents comprehensively considered the problems of land use development of water protection zones and coastal protection strips. Based on the developed model of the methodological process of institutionalization of the development of land use of water protection zones and coastal protection strips in Kyiv, the author proposed a systematic approach to land use planning of water protection zones and coastal protection strips.
