Dolishniy of the NAS Ukraine, Research ID : http://www.researcherid.com/rid/IQW – 0413 - 2023 ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY AS A COMPONENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN CROSS-BORDER SUBREGIONS The results of elaborations of available theoretical-analytical materials on measuring the quality of life are generalized, their orientation mainly on the assessment of the quality of life at the macro level for international comparisons is revealed. Methodical methods for assessing environmental safety as a component of quality of life at the level of administrative subregions of neighboring countries are substantiated and proposed: subjective assessment based on sociological research using questionnaires and objective assessment with a choice of representative, comparative, reliable assessment indicators, substantiation of their standards and calculations of environmental safety indices. The results are given of approbation of the proposed methods with coverage of subjective and obtained on the basis of quantitative indicators adapted to the system of official statistics of Ukraine and Poland objective assessments of the ecological component of quality of life in the studied cross-border subregions: Zhovkva, Sokal, Yavoriv districts of Lviv Oblast of Ukraine and Jaros?aw, Przemy?l, Lubacz?w Counties of the SubcarpathianVoivodeship of Poland. Significant disparities are identified not in favor of domestic subregions in the levels of environmental safety according to the results of objective assessment, which to some extent is smoothed in subjective assessment due to its dependence on the specific values and guidelines and environmental awareness of respondents. Conclusions are made on the complementarity of the results of subjective and objective environmental safety assessment, high value of the importance given by respondents to environmental safety as a component of quality of life, the impact of environmental safety asymmetry on the results of its subjective assessment, in particular, the priority of protection and preservation of certain components natural environment aimed at solving these problems.
