Abstract:

Geoecological paradigm incipience has formed an interdisciplinary geoecology, which purpose is to optimize the nature using on the basis of geoecosystem interconnections study and integration of the acquired knowledge into the practice of territorial planning and management. An important sphere of geoecological research practical application results is the creation of an optimal structural and functional organization of the territory for substantiation of various nature management projects. With the help of estimating and predictive research methods, the degree of geoecosystems suitability for the projected nature using kinds is established. Forecast geoecological researches are aimed at preventing possible destructive natural processes, identifying anthropogenic influences and caused by the negative changes in the natural environment. On the results of evaluative and forecast geoecological research, the adoption of final design and planning decisions should be based. Based on the results of the conducted research the following conclusions have been made:

1. The priority task of applied geoecology is to prevent the emergence of crisis and emergency geoecological situations. Therefore, in the near future, it would be expedient to teach applied geoecology a separate academic discipline.
2. Solving the constructive tasks of geoecological research requires the corresponding specialty and education of researchers.
3. Basic geoecological knowledge is laid out by the educational system with the use of innovative active methods in the educational process, in particular, the project method. For this purpose, the discipline «Geoecology of Ukraine» is taught at the Faculty of Geography of the Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University for masters of the first year of study.
4. The lecturer stimulates the project activity, directing the work of students to achieve the final result – the geoecological project presentation. For example, the implementation of the project on discipline «Geoecology of Ukraine» involves students fulfilling such basic tasks – search, analysis and systematization of information; choice of research methods; drawing up of maps, diagrams, charts; formulating the conclusions of the study and developing the presentation of the project.
5. The topic of the project is most often associated with specific practical issues relevant to real life. The study of the discipline «Geoecology of Ukraine» promotes the orientation of students for the specialty of the environmental manager, designer, expert on environmental projects, etc.
