Abstract
Rural areas are antipodes to urbanized and industrialized territories. At the same time, rural areas are obligatory components of the sustainable environment and economic development of countries and regions. The rural area mostly depends on environmental factors. Ameliorative factors, i.e. the suitability for improving the performance characteristics of the area, have the leading role as well. These factors effect on the development of agricultural production functions (specialization) and on the rural areas social functions. Spatial analysis methods are necessary for determining of environmental and irrigative factors of rural area development. The tools for spatial analysis include the following abilities: - to reveal the background and development restrictions of rural environmental management various types in time and space, to show the opportunities for their combination; - to determine spatial differences of environmental conditions of agricultural production; - to prove the ways for the most efficient use of natural and economic resources, environmental protection; - to provide an economic profile and possible ameliorative development of rural areas. The article offers an example of the factor analysis pattern approbation in the spatial analysis of the environmental management. Kherson Oblast is a region for pattern approbation as the area in the Southern Ukraine with the intensive agricultural and hydro-melioration development. The factor analysis allowed to define 11 factors according to environmental management characteristics where 7 of them are marked as major environmental and ameliorative factors of the environmental management in rural areas at the regional level.
