Abstract. Over the last decade «indicator thinking» has become more widespread. The need to have a tool to assess the processes taking place, give them a retrospective analysis and try to predict their future require the formation of appropriate indicators and quantitative indicators. These trends are evident in the concept of sustainable development. This concept is based on the development of sustainable measures: understanding the relationship between the economy, society and the environment; supporting the equitable allocation of resources and preserving opportunities for this generation and all future ones. The article reflects a research initiative focused on data processing to improve the system of indicators for measuring the ecological component of sustainable development of regions. In order to characterize, classify and predict the conditions that may lead to sustainable regional development, the Poltava region was used as a studied area. For the developing of the methods and processing of data, the existing legal framework and national studies were taken into account, thus setting the parameters for the key indicators that are necessary for the assessing the ecological component levels of sustainable development. The calculation of the integrated indicator of the ecological component of sustainable development of Poltava region and Ukraine was carried out in the work based on the statistical methods and a number of data obtained for the period 2010—2020. This makes it possible to make management decisions at the regional level, which in turn will analyze the reasons for their deviation from the relevant indicators in the country as a whole. The proposed system of indicators of sustainable development has the advantage that the indicators included in it show the impact of anthropogenic pressure not only on the ecosystem, but also the impact on economic activity through the degradation of natural resources. This system also allows to assess the level of territorial disproportion, to identify the sources of the most negative temporal-territorial environmental impacts, to assess the effectiveness of management decisions implemented in the region.
