Abstract. Available experience is generalized and we developed the essence, main directions, levels, types, and tasks of cartographic evaluation for nature-resource potential (NRP) in Ukrainian physic-geographic regions. We also assessed the positive qualities of the NRP of landscapes (of objects) from the perspective of either their rational economic use or of their suitability to be human beings’ living area.
