The main directions of land use change in the Yaroslavl Region for 1992–2019 were identified based on a conjugate analysis of multi-temporal geospatial data on land cover from the European Space Agency, with the involvement of environmental and economic-geographical materials. On this basis, the main geoecological processes characterizing the features of the current development of natural and economic systems are identified. For analysis, 22 transitions of land cover classes were selected (occupying more than 1 % of the class area). They form six transformation directions: 1) increase of tree cover area; 2) reduction of tree cover area; 3) expansion of built-up areas; 4) waterlogging; 5) increase of flooded areas; 6) reduction of flooded areas. For each direction, the main processes determined by a complex of various factors are characterized. Analysis of data in GIS showed that for 1992–2019 land cover changes occurred over an area of 2.44 thous.km2, or 6.8 % of the region’s territory. As a result of the assessment of two main (dominant in area) directions (increase and reduction of tree cover), a conclusion was drawn about a net increase in the forested area in the Yaroslavl Region over 27 years by 970 km2. At the same time, the expansion of forest lands took place mainly in the zone of coniferous-broadleaved (mixed) forests, and the reduction of forests took place in the southern taiga subzone of taiga zone. Land use transformation is an important factor that should be taken into account for the development of regionally oriented recommendations for managing natural-anthropogenic landscapes and solving environmental problems.
