Analysis of Rural Areas of Ukraine on the Basis of ESA WorldCover 2020
Copyright policy )Analysis of Rural Areas of Ukraine on the Basis of ESA WorldCover 2020
At present, GIS technologies penetrate various spheres of socio-economic life of humankind. In this paper, based on GIS technologies, the main classes of the land cover of Ukraine were analysed with further in-depth study in terms of regions and rural and urban areas. The results of this study are based on ESA WorldCover data; according to them, 32% of Ukraine’s territory can be attributed to urban areas, while 68% – to rural areas. In general, the analysis showed that Ukraine is characterised by a high degree of land using, so the land that was cultivated in 2020 accounted for 55.5% of its area. 70% of rural areas comprise cultivated areas, 30% – in urban areas. The leaders among the oblasts with the largest share of cultivated lands are Zaporizhzhia (76%), Kirovohrad (76%), Mykolaiv (77). An inherent feature of Ukraine’s land structure is a considerable share of land (15.3%) under meadows, hayfields, and pastures, which are vital in restoration and preservation and as an essential element of regional ecosystems. 66% of the territories of this class are concentrated in rural areas, on urban areas – 34%. Most of them are in Luhansk (26%), Lviv (24%) and Volyn (22%) oblasts. The level of forest cover in Ukraine is 23.3%, with 17.7% being forests and the other 6% – protective forest belts, orchards, and arboretums. Rural areas account for 64% of forested areas. The most forested areas are Zakarpattia (68%), Ivano-Frankivsk (54%) and Zhytomyr (45%), while the least forested are Kherson (4%), Zaporizhzhia (5%) and Mykolaiv (6%). In general, 71% of forested areas are rural and 29% are urban. In Ukraine, the share of surface waters covering the geographical area is 2.4%, of which 71% is in rural territories and 29% – in urban territories. Cherkasy (5%), Zaporizhzhia (6%), and Kherson (8%) oblasts are the top three oblasts in terms of surface water supply with 64%, 63% and 82% in rural areas, respectively (Figure 8). In turn, the oblasts with the smallest share of open water areas are Zhytomyr (0.5%), Luhansk (0.4%) and Zakarpattia (0.3%) oblasts, with 77%, 33%, and 46%, respectively.
