The problems of the development of territorial communities have become particularly relevant at the current stage. Important features of development are the coherence of economic, social and ecological vectors, taking into account the potential of local resources, additional favorable factors: investment, logistics, infrastructure. Within territorial communities, an inventory of the resource base is carried out, investment passports are created, development strategies are developed, existing problems are analyzed and ways of solving them are substantiated. A complex range of tasks is solved at their levels, which requires a certain level of professional training of management personnel, the introduction of effective monitoring of development processes. The authors have published a series of articles devoted to the analysis of the potential of natural resources, problems of environmental development management, imbalanced land use, etc. Consideration of urban territorial communities (MTH) is due to their leading role as centers of development and regional poles of growth. The novelty of this study consists in the analysis of the main economic, social, ecological parameters and factors of perspective development and the typology of urban territorial communities of the Ternopil region.

The authors have published a series of articles devoted to the analysis of the potential of natural resources, the problems of managing ecological development, the imbalance of land use in territorial communities of Ternopil Oblast. Consideration of urban territorial communities (UTC) is due to their leading role as centers of development and regional poles of growth. The novelty of this study consists in the analysis of the main economic, social, ecological parameters and factors of perspective development and the typology of urban territorial communities of the Ternopil region.

The basic indicators of the development of 18 UTC s were collected and analyzed. Thus, indicators of high population density are observed in Ternopil and Chortkivska UTC with a high share of the urban population and insignificant indicators of occupied areas. Indicators of the availability of agricultural land are also the lowest in the above-mentioned UTC s (58% and 60%, respectively). The lowest share of arable land is represented in the Ternopil (38.2%), Berezhan (40%) and Monastyris (42.5%) and Shum (42%) UTC s, the location of the last three being limited to substantially forested mountainous areas. The highest shares of land under forests are concentrated in Berezhanska (33%), Shumska (32%) and Kopychynetska (27.3%) UTC. The opposite indicators are observed in Khorostkivska (1.5%), Lanovetska (5.0%) UTC.

With regard to indicators of economic development of communities, an analysis of the financial capacity of territorial communities was carried out using such parameters as revenues from the general fund of the budget, the level of subsidization of the TG budget, the share of the community's income due to inter-budgetary transfers. Based on the results of their comparison, four types of urban communities were distinguished according to their functional features and role in development processes: - self-sufficient UTC as a center of regional growth (Ternopil); self-sufficient UTC as regional poles of growth (Chortkivska, Kremenetska, Berezhanska); capable UTC as areas of potential development (Zbarazka, Zborivska, Pidgaetska, Skalatska, Terebovlyanska); conditionally capable UTC as territories of unbalanced development (Borshchivska, Buchachska, Zalischytska, Kopychynetska, Lanovetska, Monastyriska, Pochaivska, Khorostkivska, Shumska). It is emphasized that half of the UTCs (9 out of 18) belong to the conditionally capable category, which implies the substantiation of the system of measures to achieve their coordinated development. Factors of the potential development of UTC were considered, including: natural (due to the optimization of the structure of natural lands, increasing the share of protected objects and territories), social (due to the prospect of creating regional landscape parks as objects of development of the tourist and recreational sphere), economic ( due to its proximity to various transport highways, development of logistics infrastructure, as well as in-depth processing of agricultural products (sugar, alcohol, flour, meat, leather, wool, vegetables and fruits) and forestry products (lumber, mushrooms, berries, nuts). attention to the investment passports of communities, which contribute to the potential opportunities for their participation in investment projects with the involvement of foreign, private and local capital. landscape and national natural parks, enterprises for advanced processing of raw materials and semi-finished products of agro-industrial and forestry complexes within the communities of unbalanced development. Taking into account the development factors specified in the publication, the justification of alternatives will contribute to the search for directions for the balance of natural and economic territorial systems.

Key words: urban territorial communities, factors of development of UTC, typology of UTC.
