1234 | 573 | Sustainability in Ukraine: pre-war and post-war context | Sergyi Lisovsky, Eugenia Maruniak, Leonid Rudenko
From the scientific point of view, the concept of sustainable development in Ukraine had been shaped in the 1990s, and the background for it was created in the 70s and 80s of the twentieth century. At the same time, within the social and political dimension, shifts occurred much later, after 2010, and especially after 2014, when Ukraine made the final choice in favor of European integration. Geography has played a special role in the implementation of Agenda 21 and the 2030 Goals. The methodology of geographical science allowed to largely maintain the necessary balance of reflecting the interests of society and nature in the process of conceptualizing the relevant policy. The processes that take place in practice are much more complicated and reveal a wide range of unresolved problems, from low levels of public awareness to an underdeveloped geospatial data infrastructure. _x000D_
The presentation will analyze the process of implementing the concept of sustainability in Ukraine and its regions over 30 years, the main gaps and achievements along the way. Based on several case studies (region, territorial community), attention will be paid to spatial planning as one of the tools that contributes to achieving sustainability at all levels. One of the important emphases will be on post-war recovery, especially the rehabilitation of war-affected areas, urban renewal and inclusive development._x000D_
