One of the mechanisms to solve this task is land use limitations establishment by restricted the possibility to carry out some activities, on certain territories or separate land plots, which would lead to negative ecological and social consequences. Such activity is becoming more and more urgent in the face of increasing ecological problems. Land use limitations could be considering in different areas. On one hand, the feasibility of land use is governing by the methods of spatial planning, based on natural and anthropogenic conditions. On the other hand, land use limitations are the result of location of object is which could be either source of negative influence or the object is requiring being protected (mode-forming objects). The aim of the article is to determine the impact of land use limitations on the various components of society, taking into account the environmental, economic and social components of sustainable development. Environmental and socioeconomic impact of land use limitations formation on the example of limitations caused by the activity of a mode-forming object are described in the study. The results of the study illustrate that the establishment of limitations on the land use can solve mainly environmental and social problems. Key words: land use limitations impact, land use regulations, mode-forming objects. Introduction There is a need to transform the approaches and mechanisms available in Ukraine to regulate land use within the current conditions of integration processes activated at the end of the XX century. In Ukraine, the experience of land use management under different forms of ownership began to be acquired only in the beginning of the XXI century. The methods and means of regulating decision- making issues should, first and foremost, work to improve the living conditions of the population; preserve the ecological stability of the territories; increase the value and cost of land, as well as enhance their investment attractiveness while ensuring equality of rights regardless of ownership. Today the decision-making to ensure a balanced, sustainable and integrated development of territories is a complex task that involves many challenges and participation of a large number of entities (authorities, landowners, users, businesses). Recently, the land use limitations mechanism has become of great importance as a regulator of providing favorable living conditions for the population and development of territories. One of the common application areas of this mechanism is a restriction of certain activity types in territories or particular land plots that lead to adverse effects. The methods and mechanisms of land use limitations existing in Ukraine are not always open, understandable and do not take into account all components of sustainable development. Methodology of research and materials The aim of the article is to determine the impact of land use limitations on the various aspects of society’s life, taking into account the environmental, economic and social components of sustainable development. The following tasks are aimed to achieve this goal: 1.To analyze the mode-forming objects, the functioning of which requires the organization of zones, within whose boundaries there are limitations on the use of land. 2.To perform the analysis of land use limitations. 2. To structure the land use limitations depending on various features. 3. To analyze the land use limitations caused by the activity of mode-forming object. Research was based on the analysis of legal and regulatory acts, scientific literature and the analytical materials. The main focus was done on environmental and social impact. The theoretical debatable research results were surveyed on the examples of mode-forming objects in Ukraine. The results were
