The research is aimed at eco-sustainability assessment of landscapes in the Penza region municipalities. To analyze total landscape eco-sustainability, the coefficient of landscape eco-sustainability (CLEC) was used. The current research identified nine municipalities with extremely unsustainable landscape (CLEC = 0.15-0.49), six districts with unsustainable landscape (CLEC = 0.50-0.95) and six municipalities with nearly sustainable landscape (CLEC = 1.12-2.02). In the Penza region, the Gorodishchensky and Kuznetsky districts (municipalities) have sustainable landscape, and the Narovchatsky, Nikolsky and Sosnovoborsky municipalities – extremely sustainable landscape. Obtained results showed general information on the level of landscape eco-sustainability in the Penza region, and would help to choose a better set of measures to stabilize, preserve and restore landscapes.
Keywords: landscape, sustainable landscape, unsustainable landscape, coefficient of landscape eco-sustainability.
