In-process the components of existent ecological network are analyzed in detail, the state of biological and landscape variety of the Kharkov area is appraised. The degree of influence of anthropogenic factors is certain on the structural elements of ecological network. Basic directions optimization of measures are outlined on creation and perfection of ecological network of area.

There are the conditions of formation of ecological frame of the Kharkiv region, taking into account trends in landscape and environmental planning. Determined capabilities, giving the landscape approach and ways to optimize the ecological network area based on the concept of landscape and environmental planning Kharkiv region.

The mechanism of landscape ecological planning in the organization of ecological network of Kharkiv region has been revealed. The structure of the landscape and environmental planning process of protected areas which consists of three major steps: landscape analysis, landscape diagnosis and prognosis and activities planning, has been determined. The components of each phase have been described in detail. Spatial comparison of the ecological network structure concerning Kharkiv region’s districts has been made. The perspectives of the territory organization to be attributed to ecological system have been substantiated.

This paper investigates ways to optimize the prospects for the development of ecological networks for sus-tainable development needs of the Kharkiv region based on a comprehensive assessment of the landscape of the area. Proposed to optimize the structure of the ecological network to allocate an additional category of ecological corridors - local. The basis of allocation is proposed to put limits beam-valley systems where vegetation is kept relatively natural composition and carried out limited human pressure.

Approved methods of mathematical study of expanding the territory NNP «Slobozhansky» based on the calculation complexity, entropy and homogeneity of its landscape structure. For ecologically sound expansion of the park proposed to include in its composition floodplain area, by removing part of the economic use of the land of village councils and limitations of human activities on them.
