The dependence obtained by the authors enables one to easily determine the state of the region's ecologization. The analysis provides the possibility to track the progress of both positive and negative changes. The ranges of integrated indicators will signal about the qualitative condition of the level of ecologization of the region. If there are negative tendencies, regional development programs require revision in order to improve the situation and reach the reference value of the indicator.Keywords: Ecologization; economy ecologization; assessing the region's sustainable development; the indicative system of assessing ecologization; the level of ecologization of the region's economy.JEL Classifications: Q01; Q5
