To issue of ecological balance of urban areas was paid a little attention. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive assessment of territory of the small town Vyshgorod, Kyiv region. The demographic capacity according to residential capacity and recreational resources were calculated. The indicators of anthropogenic transformation and natural protection of the territory, namely the coefficient of anthropogenic loading, of natural protectability, of ecological stability, of relative intensity of ecological and economic condition of the territory by B. Kochurov method were calculated. The stock materials of the land management service and the data of the Master plan of town were used. The town council territory has average anthropogenic loading level. The town territory has elevated level. The intensity of economic-ecological state of the territory is not balanced by anthropogenic stress extent and nature stability potential. The total area of the ecological fund for the town council is 71.7% of territory and 38.7% of the town territory, is not enough. The poor ecological stability coefficient indicates about not efficiency organization of the town territory. It is established that the territory of the town council has an average degree of favorability, and the territory within the town boundaries has low degree. In the long term it is planned to consider the ecological balance of other small towns of Kyiv region.
