Abstract
The study revealed that the vast majority of the rural population consider their place of residence to be environmentally problematic, note the negative impact on their health, the removal and disposal of household waste as the main problem, as well as the elimination of unauthorized landfills. However, rural residents are not ready to actively participate in environmental events and use state resources for these purposes. The importance of socio-economic problems for them prevails over environmental ones. This study directly focuses on the environmental environmental activities and environmental issues. The research object is the environmental situation of five rural municipalities (Mtsensky, Soskovsky, Shablykinsky, Glazunovsky, Bolkhovsky) of the Oryol region, representing all natural and economic zones (Western, Central, and South-Eastern). The research subject is the environmental problems of residents of rural areas that have a direct impact on the development of rural areas in a particular region. In order to determine the ecological situation of the studied territories, possible environmental problems, and the degree of their importance, as well as the environmental behavior of rural residents, respondents were asked to answer a number of environmental issues. Respondents were also asked to answer the question “What measures, in your opinion, need to be taken to improve the ecological condition of rural areas?”. In many ways, life in the countryside is inferior to urban. In order to make it more comfortable and favorable, it was important to find out from the villagers what needs to be changed. To this end, respondents were asked to rank social needs by importance. According to the survey, the most important social needs are job security, higher pay checks, and the availability of comfortable housing.
