ABSTRACT: Formulation and implementation of socio-economic development strategy and policy of nature management, environment protection and ensuring medico-ecological safety are interrelated as health and social and ecological welfare of people are inseparably tied. Economic mechanisms of nature management provide for including ecological parameters in pricing system, improvement of commercial nature management system and mandatory ecological insurance. The effectiveness of environment-oriented activities of nature users is governed by establishment of financial incentives and introduction of economic instruments in connection with environment protection stimulation, as nature preservation and environment improvement are priority areas of state and public. For enhancement of current nature management and assessment of landscape conditions as well as for updating the information obtained from topographic bases, remote-sensing methods are important, in the form of good quality digital terrain images from space.
