FEATURES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT OF THE RIVNE REGION THROUGH THE CASE METHOD

Abstract

The article notes the significant practical importance of conducting a territorial environmental audit in modern conditions, using the example of the Rivne region. A modern environmental audit helps to integrate environmental aspects into economic and social planning, ensuring harmonious development of the territory without harming the environment. It is proposed to conduct it according to the case method, which makes it possible to assess the ecological situation of the region in detail. That is, important environmental problems are described that need to be solved using different approaches and find optimal solutions. With the help of the case method, a simulation scheme of the environmental audit of the Rivne region, which consists of separate blocks, was developed. They present the main ecological problems of the region, both of national and local importance: deterioration of the quality of atmospheric air, water and biological resources; impact of man-made load; lack of disposal of solid household waste; as a result of the shelling, there is a possible environmental risk from the Rivne nuclear power plant. The main sources of pollution in the Rivne region are listed. The real changes in the environment caused by the anthropogenic load on the surrounding natural environment of the region are described: disruption of the ecosystem as a result of unsanctioned extraction of natural resources, in particular amber; problems of storage and disposal of unsuitable chemical means of plant protection; lack of waste processing enterprises; intervention of the population in the nature reserve fund; change in the chemical composition of air, surface and underground waters; worn sewage treatment equipment; poaching interventions in biodiversity; damage caused during rocket attacks on the territory of the region. A number of environmental protection proposals were developed and proposed for further development in the post-war development of the Rivne region with an emphasis on: making corrections to the legislative framework; promotion and implementation of environmental projects; active work of local self-government; systematic environmental monitoring; restoration and reproduction of natural resources; raising the level of environmental culture among the local population.
