Abstract
According to the principle of sustainable development, a country's economic and social development must be oriented in such a way that meeting the needs of today does not reduce the possibilities of meeting the needs of future generations, taking into account the limited natural resources. But without knowing how many natural ecosystem resources there are, what their value is, society cannot estimate the extent of their loss. This problem is particularly acute in urban areas, where rapid population and economic growth is continually affecting the natural ecosystem. In 2000, the United Nations launched a global initiative called the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. The European Environment Agency (EEA) emphasizes the importance of ecosystem accounting methods for examining the relationship between economic sectors and their dependence on natural ecosystem resources and functions, and their impact on resources and functions. In determining the value of ecosystem services, the authors pose the fundamental question: how to determine the value of direct and indirect use and non-use of ecosystem services in urban areas, their value for future generations. The main objective of the study is to substantiate and propose a methodology for determining the value of services provided by the natural ecosystem in urban areas.(original abstract)Keywords:
