Spatial planning of community territories in the context of reforms and martial law in Ukraine (using the example of the Odesa region)

The article highlights the problematic issues of developing strategic spatial planning documents in Ukraine using the example of territorial communities (Strategies for territorial development, Comprehensive spatial development plans, etc.). The importance of geographical conditions for the development of the potential of the territory in planning is revealed. The theoretical and methodological basis and applied aspects of the application of planning solutions in the development of strategic documents for regional and local development are considered, in particular with an emphasis on the Odesa region and its geographical features. The need to improve the regulatory and legal framework for spatial planning related to the legal regime of martial law and the post-war reconstruction of the country, including its individual territories of various hierarchical levels, is confirmed.


Comprehensive community development plans should take into account the geographical location, landscape basis and population settlement system. The current task of planning at the community level should be to optimize land use by land for their intended purpose on the basis of sustainable development in order to preserve the environment. The materials of the proposed study can be used in management at the regional and local levels in Ukraine.
