The study proposes to develop a conflictological approach for achieving the goals of sustainable development, increasing the efficiency of territorial planning and managing the territory of the regional settlement system in a market economy. A methodology for identifying and resolving urban conflicts and developmental contradictions at thelevel of a municipal district has been developed. It includes 4 stages: 1) the periodization of the spatial development of the territory in historical retrospect as a result of emerging and evolving conflicts, which resulted in urban development contradictions in the territory; 2) qualitative and quantitative assessment of the resource potential of the territory; 3) identification and classification of urban conflicts and contradictions in the development of the territory; 4) the application of existing and the development of new methods for resolving conflicts of interests and values with a view to modeling various options forland use. The developed methodology is tested on the example of municipal districts of the Belgorod region. Peculiarities of the administrative-territorial division of the Belgorod region, which characterize the time-stable territorial units with various types of economic activity are studied. An indicative integrated assessment of the resource potential of the territory and topological analysis of the municipal districts of the Belgorod region were carried out and historical, spatial and functional patterns, as well as urban conflicts and contradictions in the process of developing the territory in the XXI century were revealed. An integral assessment of the resource potential of the municipal districts territory of the Belgorod region was carried out and urban development contradictions in the development of the territory in the XXI century were identified. To resolve urban conflicts and contradictions of development at thelevel of the municipal district; improved methods are proposed: the method of resolving social and infrastructure contradictions of the territory development; the method of formation of the rehabilitative relief of disturbed territories; the method of formation of the natural core on the basis of ravine-beamlandscapes, and they were tested in the territories of the Belgorod, Shebekinsky and Yakovlevsky municipal districts. The method of harmonization of interests and values was developed and tested by finding a compromise between the participants of urban development for areas with different functionalload on the example of the concept of urban development of intermunicipal natural Park in the Belgorod and Shebekinsky districts.
