Questionnaire took into account age, sex, experience in tourism of every owner, etc. In addition data analysis and calculation of referrals and general indicators of the objects grounded the findings.
 Results. The research identifies the main issues of concern of the estate owners, who used alternative energy sources. Based on survey results we defined the range of owners who are interested in using alternative energy if they get a required information and financial support from the state as well as the list of rural facilities involved in alternative power supply. The above results will help to create an information network for owners of rural estates to provide the information about possibilities for alternative power supply with the help of the current international and national support programs.
 Scientific novelty. The patters of regional differentiation in alternative energy resource usage in green rural tourism reflects the key result of this research. Based on the analysed information we clarified the regional situation with number of farms which already used alternative energy sources, the way and purposes they use it (tourism or personal needs).
The practical significance. The research of the new approaches towards the green tourism development, agrоtourism and rural development enable to improvements of the socio-economic situation of the country.

In the central part of Belarus, 100 kilometers to the South from Minsk, Slutsk, one of the most ancient Slavic cities, is located. It emerged at a place convenient for the defence against the enemy and for trading namely on a hill on the right bank of the Sluch river at a confluence with the river Bychok.
In the 16th century Slutsk was a significant town for those times. It included 2 parts: the old city with castles on the right bank of the Sluch and the New city (Zarechie) on the left one. Zarechie was intensively built up under Janusz Radziwiłł. Here facilities were built that glorified Slutsk throughout Europe: a Calvinistic school (Slutsk Athens), a Slutsk belts factory.
The history of the oldest school of Belarus - modern gymnasium №1 of Slutsk - began with the ratification of the Slutsk prince Janusz Radziwill, signed May 20, 1617. The prince had an intention to found not a simple school, but “the Slutsk Athens" - on a sample of Plаton academy. Due to the date, our gymnasium today is on the threshold of a great jubilee - its founding quatercentenary.
Keywords: gymnasium No. 1 of the town of Slutsk, the Slutsk Athens, the oldest school of Belarus.

IІІ. NATURAL GEOGRAPHY: THEORY AND PRACTICE

Purpose. In this article, we conducted a comprehensive study of pine plantations in the region in terms of forestries, by forest site conditions, by age structure, by completeness, by classes of bonitet.
Methods. In the study we used statistical data of Rivne Regional Department of Forestry and Hunting and the Department of Statistics in Rivne region.
Results. We investigated that the largest proportion of pine plantations located in the fresh and wet subors. Separately, we conducted a study on distribution of pine plantations on trophotopes (dominated by subors and burs) and hihrotopes (dominated by wet and fresh habitat conditions). We noted significant unevenness in the structure by age group: : the predominance of middle-aged plantations and the smallest share of overripe plantations. We determined that the most common completeness of pine plantations are 0.7 and 0.8, and the most common classes of bonitet are I and II.
Scientific novelty. Comprehensive study of forest landscapes, including plantations of pine in Rivne region was not previously done.
The practical significance. The survey results make it possible to formulate the basic directions of forest management to ensure the productivity of plantations of pine and biodiversity.
Keywords: pine, age structure, type of site conditions, the total reserve of wood, performance, productivity, completeness, bonitet.

Purpose - to determine the size and boundaries of water protection zones and coastal strips around Chernyatskoho reservoir hydropower provided changing its tiered regime.
Method. In order to increase the capacity of small hydropower Chernyatskoyi discussed the possibility of increasing the water level in its reservoir. However, any action to change the water level in reservoirs leading to changes in geological conditions and caused to these negative processes. To maintain water bodies in good ecological condition is necessary to organizing protected areas. The dimensions and boundaries of water protection zones and coastal strips for the new water level in the reservoir has been established taking into account the terrain, flooding, destruction of intensity banks, construction engineering protection of the coast; the purpose of land.
Results. Comprehensive study on change of level regime Chernyatskoho reservoir and then ordering water protection areas were carried out on the middle section of the Southern Bug. Characterize the current state of water protection areas Chernyatskoho reservoir. The result made forecast calculations revealed that after raising the water level in the reservoir for its water protection zones will get a number of objects that in case of exploitation violate certain rules of management. As a result of calculations found that after raising the water level in the reservoir for its water protection zones will get a number of objects that in case of exploitation violate certain rules of management. Therefore, it was determined the size and boundaries of water protection zones and coastal strips around the new reservoir for water level in it. The scheme of allocation coastal strips.
Scientific novelty. The basic theoretical and methodological approaches to determining water protection zones and coastal strips around Chernyatskoho reservoir.
The practical significance. The research results can be used in the study and development of water protection zones around reservoirs when changing water levels. These studies are of interest for the management and monitoring of aquatic ecosystems and environmental professionals and design organizations.
Keywords: water reservoir, bank-protection zone, off-shore defence zonal.
