Dynamics of the available land structure in Volyn is marked by extreme increase in built-up area that is inhabited landscape itself. Inhabited built-up landscapes are represented in the context of the administrative and territorial division. In order to characterize built-up land in upland area of Volyn region the data from the territories of Gorohiv and Kivertsi districts were processed with singled out key areas KA -5 and KA -6. The share of built-up land in the  structure of  land was determined, the moulds of inhabited built-up landscapes usage were composed. Basing on the space photos and topographical maps analysis the digital vectorial model of inhabited development  dynamics was constructed. Area alterations in inhabited landscape and its pattern during the century were established. For the purpose of modern nature management assessment of the territory the share of inhabited built-up development in the total area of development was determined. A number of map charts, diagrams and tables was constructed according to the results of the research work. Subsequent directions of inhabited landscapes geoecological rehabilitation were confirmed in terms of regional development.Key words: built-up landscapes, pattern of the landscape, nature management, inhabited built-up landscapes, digital vectorial model   ER -
