Abstract:
Purpose. To develop a scientifically grounded indicative model for the eco-adaptive modernization of Ukraine’s transport and logistic network, and to assess the degree of its environmental adaptation to the imperatives of sustainable development, taking into account the spatial-structural transformation of the network and the contemporary ecological challenges.
Methodology. This study employs an indicative approach to assessing the environmental adaptation of Ukraine’s Transport & Logistic network (TLN), grounded in the construction of a multi-indicator model. The model incorporates a set of indicators: CO2 emissions in the transport sector, the degree of electrification of transport fleets, the development of multimodal freight operations, the energy efficiency of transport infrastructure, and the volume of external environmental costs. Based on normalized values, a regional Environmental Adaptation Index (EAI) was constructed, alongside an integrated “green” corridor rating (ECOLOGIS) for Ukraine’s logistics corridors. The methodology also encompasses spatial analysis, regional clustering according to adaptation levels, and evaluation of structural shifts in modal logistics induced by wartime disruptions.
Findings. A regional assessment of the environmental adaptation of Ukraine’s transport and logistic network was conducted, enabling the classification of regions into high, medium, and low levels of adaptation to the challenges of sustainable development. The analysis revealed that the greatest ecological potential is concentrated within logistics corridors dominated by electrified and multimodal transport flows. Significant spatial disparities were identified in the ecological-structural profiles of regions, thereby delineating strategic priorities for further infrastructure modernization.
Originality. The scientific novelty lies in the development of an indicative model for the ecological-adaptive modernization of Ukraine’s TLN, including the Environmental Adaptation Index and the ECOLOGIS assessment system for spatial diagnostics and prioritization of sustainable post-war infrastructure development.
Practical value. This study provides an applied analytical framework for evaluating the environmental adaptation of Ukraine’s Transport & Logistics network in response to the demands of sustainable development and the intensifying ecological pressure of wartime. The proposed instruments enable the justification of infrastructure modernization priorities, enhance the effectiveness of spatial planning, and support informed decision-making on the environmental upgrading of transport systems at both national and regional governance levels.
