Assessment of the ecological safety of the Ukrainian Polissya region based on landscape-ecological and radioecological approaches under martial law.

Abstract

The article examines the environmental impact of military operations on Ukraine’s natural landscapes from the perspective of environmental safety. The aim of the study is to develop an integrated methodological approach to assessing military and environmental risks based on a combination of landscape-ecological, radioecological, and geoecological analysis using geoinformation technologies.ring the study, a system for the spatial identification of environmentally hazardous areas was developed, taking into account the degree of landscape structure disturbance, levels of radioecological load, and the intensity of military impact. The results obtained made it possible to establish patterns in the spatial distribution of environmental risks and to identify areas with critical levels of degradation of natural components. A model for the integrated assessment of environmental safety was proposed, which provides for the ranking of territories according to the priority of restoration measures. novelty lies in the introduction of an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of militaryecological threats, combining landscape-spatial modeling with radioecological assessment and geoinformation analysis. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of their application to improve the environmental monitoring system, plan environmental safety measures, and develop strategies for the environmental rehabilitation of territories affected by military actions. Keywords: environmental safety, military-ecological risks, landscape-ecological analysis, radioecological assessment, geoinformation technologies, ecosystem restoration.
