Abstract
The article presents a methodology for assessing the environmental sustainability of rural areas. The study was conducted in twenty-one administrative districts of the Vitebsk region. The indicators for the assessment were combined into two sets of indicators that characterize the ecological subsystem of rural areas: the anthropogenic impact on the environment and the degree of use of natural resources. As a result of the environmental sustainability assessment, rural areas were divided into three groups: sustainable development, approximate and unstable sustainable development. The practical significance of the study is to determine the trends and prospects of environmental development of rural areas of the Vitebsk region.
