The relevance of this work is conditioned by the growing challenges and risks arising in the mining areas, and the need to counteract them. The purpose of the work is to develop methodology of a sustainable land use under the conditions of modern changes in the environment under the influence of anthropogenic stress. The authors propose to interpret the concept of “sustainable land use” as a long-term, multi-purpose and cost-effective relationship between society and land resources. Results. The issues of methodology of sustainable land use in industrial regions are considered. The levels of sustainable land use management within the framework of the concept of biotic regulation of the environment are substantiated. The features of management on each of them are revealed, and the scientific and technical principles of sustainable land use are formulated. The strategic priorities and indicators of sustainable land use are defined. Methodological approaches to ecological and economic assessment of land resources are formulated both by components and by integrated assessment. The widespread, long-term changes of land resources and transformation of ecosystems are taken into account. The parameters according to which the “corridors” of acceptable land use are determined, including environmental parameters. The level of natural ecosystems conservation, the balance of natural and anthropogenic energy flows, the degree of extraction of natural resources, as well as social parameters are among them. The procedure of coordinating individual interests and social preferences on the basis of search of optimum effective options of sustainable land use. It is recommended to perform a multi-criteria optimization of sustainable land use by means of the lexicographical method in relatively simple situations. In more complex cases this can be attained by the method of successive concession. The options of the discount rate and the discount factor depending on the value of the discount period (according to the model of complex processes) are proposed. Applying the results. The implementation of the developed methodological provisions allows to provide conditions for sustainable land use, counteracting risks associated with environmental challenges arising in the mining areas.
