The biocentric-network configuration of landscapes (BNCL) is understood as a variety of biocenters that located at the matrix of landscapes and along which the biotic migrations take places. The theoretic-methodological contemporary apparatus of BNCL exploration formed by scientific results which we could find out in works of European and Ukrainian scientists, in particular: A. Buchek, Ja. Lazina, I. Ljov, P Kavaljauskas, R. Forman, M. Godron, M. Grodzinskyi, P. Shyschenko, V. Paschenko, S. Kukurudza, etc. Nevertheless, lack of works which could clarify questions of landscape representativeness and metrization BNCL under conditions of considerable fragmented and anthropogenic territories leads us to accomplishment becoming exploration.
Thus, the aim of the article is to determine landscape representiveness (at the levels of type, and sort of landscape complexes) of BNCL by using results of our mapping modelling of landscape-typological structure of the Left-Bank the Dnipro river of Ukraine territory, the structure of BNCL and the nature reserved fund, which could be a good background for choosing criteria of landscape planning typological units distinguishing and for the future possibility of usage it for the purpose of landscape planning tools implementation.
The region of the exploration – the Left-Bank the Dnipro river of Ukraine territory – is understood as a totality of four administration region of Ukraine, such as Poltavsjka, Sumsjka, Harkivsjka, and Chernighivsjka. The levels of landscape representiveness were determined by using GIS-parcel MapInfo Professional 10.0.1, and type, and sort of landscape complexes data, including 1 552 objects of nature reserved fund (by 1.11.2016). The methodical basis of the research is formed by the system of methods such as mapping, graphical, statistic, analysis, and synthesis, etc., especially the method of laying on to each other the mapping models of sort of landscape, the nature reserve fund, and the BNCL structure of the Left-Bank the Dnipro river of Ukraine territory done by the author. The level of landscape representiveness of landscapes sorts by the elements of BNCL is understood as plurality it on the unit of a biocentric area. According to the received results of region landscape representiveness calculation at the level of sort of landscapes, we summarized that same objects of BNCL has high or low level of its.
The metrization of elements the BNCL structure helps us to distinguish “central” and “provincial” biocenters. Altogether, received results of graphical and matrix modeling the BNCL will be a good background for the future landscape planning tools implementation.
