NGO “Nature Conservation GIS of Ukraine”, together with NGO “Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group” and NGO “Ekosocium” on September 10, 2025, held a seminar “Strategic documents of community planning and nature protection. Theory and practice”. The key topic of the seminar was the issue of sustainable development of communities using strategic documents of community development planning.
The event was attended by specialists from regional state administrations, local governments, institutions of the nature reserve fund, higher education institutions, public organizations, as well as organizations involved in the development of land and urban planning documentation.
The discussion showed that the issue of developing comprehensive spatial development plans is extremely relevant.
Experts from our NGO – Oksana Zalyubovska, Andriy Achasov and Oleksandr Golubtsov – had the opportunity to share the experience gained during the practical implementation of spatial landscape modeling projects at the local level.
