Abstract: During the study of the formation, formation and development of spatial and architectural-planning organization of settlements, the main attention is mostly paid to the processes of urbanization.The purpose of the article is to find out the theoretical preconditions and peculiarities of the influence of urban ecological factors on the development of mountain settlements, their role in solving urgent ecological, spatial and architectural-urban problems of recreational settlements on the way to sustainable development.The study of urban-ecological interactions in the Ukrainian Carpathians is a rather difficult task due to the significant variability of environmental factors, rather tense ecological situation in the region, lack of effective mechanisms of nature management, imperfection of regulatory framework, in particular, in the field of environmental legislation. approaches to the identification and typology of environmental phenomena, which complicates the process of managing them.Nowadays, the problems of sustainable development of mountain areas are insufficiently studied, in particular, insufficient attention is paid to the study of the effects of environmental factors on the development of spatial organization and architectural and urban planning problems of mountain settlements. The ecological situation of the vast majority of mountain settlements of recreational profile is tense, the priority is to diagnose the state of urban ecosystems and solve environmental problems, which should guarantee the improvement of the ecological situation in the region and successful development of recreational and tourist potential of the Ukrainian Carpathians.Based on the analysis of the studied literature sources, we can assume that the planning structure of mountain settlements in the Ukrainian Carpathians directly depends on the ecological situation in the region and on urban-ecological interactions between various factors of natural and man-made environment.In terms of environmental factors that have or may have an impact on the development of mountain areas, the most significant, in our opinion, are or may be: landslides, excessive devastating floods, forest fires, biodiversity loss. Degradation of mountainous areas in water intake zones is especially dangerous not only for the mountain population, but also for the surrounding plains.One of the priority and strategically important tasks is the implementation of effective local and regional policy in the field of nature management, aimed primarily at solving environmental problems of the region and the formation of ecological culture, which in the long run can be a key to successful development of mountain areas and recreational potential. Urboecological interactions and their influence on the spatial and architectural-planning organization of mountain settlements of the recreational profile of the Ukrainian Carpathians need further study.
