Abstract

У статті підведено підсумки проведеного авторами дослідження історії вивчення у вітчизняній науковій літературі розвитку заповідної справи, структури і складу природно-заповідного фонду та екологічної мережі у Волинській області України. Проведено ретроспективний огляд наукових досліджень за даною тематикою, виділено основні хронологічні віхи, проаналізовано вклад окремих авторів у вивчення структури та особливостей природно-заповідних об’єктів в регіоні та шляхів переходу від створення природно-заповідного фонду до формування екологічної мережі регіонального типу у Волинській області.

Introduction. Setting objectives. Volyn region of Ukraine is characterized by a high percentage of protected areas (about 11%), a significant number of nature conservation sites located and protected within its borders (about 400) and a long history of development of nature conservation activities and conservation work in the region. There have been numerous scientific studies in the field of formation and development of the nature reserve fund and eco-network in the region. This article provides a retrospective analysis and generalization of the results of such studies. Purpose of the article. The purpose of the work is a retrospective analysis of scientific research by Ukrainian authors on the establishment, formation and development of the nature reserve fund and ecological network in the Volyn region of Ukraine. Results of the research: A review, analysis and systematization of scientific works published in domestic publications over a 50-year period were carried out, which concerned the study of the structure, features, geospatial location and activities of the nature reserve fund of the Volyn region, and over time - its transformation and inclusion in the structure of the regional ecological network of the region. The contribution of individual researchers to the study of the formation of the nature reserve fund in the Volyn region was characterized. The scientific works, the review of which was carried out, were systematized by their subject matter, focus, and breadth of the issues studied. Separate chronological periods in the development of scientific research on the formation of the nature reserve fund of the Volyn region were highlighted, and over time - the formation and development of the ecological network of this region. The main directions and applied aspects in the context of which the regional nature reserve fund was studied were highlighted. Scientific schools and research groups that have worked on studying issues related to the development of the nature reserve fund and the formation of an ecological network in the region have been identified. The collected factual material has been summarized and promising areas of research on the regional ecological network that are currently being developed have been outlined. The scientific novelty: For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the level of study in the scientific literature of the nature reserve fund and the ecological network of the Volyn region of Ukraine over the past 50 years was carried out and the features of modern promising areas of research of the regional ecological network were assessed. Practical significance: The results of the research can be widely used in educational and training activities, in the study of ecological disciplines, including "Reserve Business", "Formation of an Ecological Network", "History of Environmental Research", etc., as well as for planning further research in the field of studying the structure and functioning of the nature reserve fund and the regional ecological network.
