Abstract

This article examines the current ecological and economic condition of rural areas and the role of ecological and economic monitoring in promoting their environmentally sustainable development. The necessity of regular social, ecological, and economic monitoring is confirmed in order to form a high-quality informational base and to effectively address environmental issues. The regional features of the development of rural territorial communities in the Ternopil region are outlined. The feasibility of implementing software for ecological and economic monitoring of rural areas in Ternopil region is substantiated. The main problems in the development of rural communities, ecological threats, and socio-economic challenges they face are analyzed. Key approaches and software tools for integrating ecological and economic indicators are studied. The use of artificial intelligence is proposed to enhance the effectiveness of ecological and economic monitoring in Ternopil region.
