Abstract 

The article considers spatial planning tools for the post-war reconstruction of community territories in the Kharkiv region, using the experience of post-war restoration of European countries after World War II and other countries that suffered large-scale destruction due to protracted conflicts. It is established that spatial planning played a key role in shaping the recovery strategy, which involved the use of geographic information systems to analyze and visualize the destruction and allowed for more effective planning of the reconstruction of urban infrastructure and residential areas. The spatial planning of community territories should use modern research methods, among which remote sensing methods will be relevant. Remote sensing of land, in particular, satellite imagery, provides a significant amount of information about land, relief, water resources and other characteristics of the territory. Free satellite images from MODIS, DEM, Sentinel-1, -2, -3 satellites can be used for an initial assessment of land use. Monitoring of remote sensing data has been chosen as the main tool for spatial assessment of the state of territories in spatial planning, in particular, the moisture index, where negative values correspond to infertile soil, values close to zero (from -0.2 to 0.4) correspond to water stress of the territories, which can help determine the distribution of land use, planning and development of agriculture, and identify environmental problems. Thus, restoring urban infrastructure, ensuring social integration, and adapting to new challenges require a comprehensive approach that takes into account both physical and socio-economic aspects of the development of territories.
