Industrial parks (IPs) are a frequently used regional policy tool to increase economic viability and social equality. Successful functioning of such areas can increase land use efficiency and, by attracting investment, create high added value nationwide. However, the creation of IPs requires significant initial investments in the installation of their infrastructure and the preparation of plots of land, which is often realized through public financial instruments. The overall objective of the research is to present the different strategies for IP development in three different countries’ economies, to discuss the outputs and added value created by such areas, and to provide insights and suggestions for the planning and development of efficient industrial land as well as to increase its value in the developing and middle-income countries. To achieve these aims, the authors of the research present and analyze IP development practices and policy tools in the developed countries of Lithuania and Portugal, and provide suggestions for the developing country of Ukraine. In this study, the authors use statistical and spatial GIS and economic data, and analyze and compare them. The results show that IPs are being developed all over Europe and the world, but each country is creating its own legal framework and appropriate incentives for companies operating in these areas, so the performance of such areas varies a great deal.

Purpose. Given densification of buildings and changes in the urban planning environment, the need arises for more balanced regulation of issues related to the regulation of the impact of mode-forming objects on the surrounding natural environment. In order to comprehensively take into account the spatial component of the localization of pollution sources and the objects that surround them, it is important to conduct modeling and systematization of possible options for the spatial placement of sanitary protection zones around mode-forming objects. This will make it possible to provide well-founded planning decisions and legal support for establishing their boundaries in the area and further legalization. Methodology. Using the method of system analysis, there was established existence of two fundamentally different groups of planning models of sanitary and protective zones with and without an overlap. The most frequent cases of localization of sanitary and protective zones in both groups were simulated by the modeling method, based on the nature of the model itself. The use of these methods in general made it possible to classify planning models of sanitary protection zones with further substantiation of their features. Findings. The obtained results provide a basis for specialists in urban planning, land management and geodesy to use a comprehensive approach in determining the size and configuration of sanitary protection zones around mode-forming objects. It is important that the results can also be used by environmental experts when justifying the sizes of sanitary protection zones. Originality. For the first time, for sanitary protection zones, grouped planning models have been grouped on which the size and configuration of sanitary protection zones depend that will be established in the area. The models, obtained as a result of the research, were tested for the establishment of sanitary protection zones around the enterprise in Dnipro. Practical value. The systematized planning models can be used to accurately determine the size of the aggregated sanitary protection zone and its configuration to further establish its boundaries on the ground.

За часи незалежності України постійно відбувалась трансформація та еволюція підходів до просторового планування, однак дослідження цього процесу дозволило визначити три, відносно завершені в часовому вимірі, вагомі етапи: 1991-2000рр.; 2000-2011рр.; 2011-2021рр. Четвертий етап починає свій відлік з 2022року. В статті розглянуті передумови трансформації підходів до просторового планування на місцевому рівні на кожному з етапів.
