Abstract

The conditions, features and results of the functioning of special economic zones (SEZ) in Ukraine are studied. The main reasons for the unsuccessful experience of using the SEZ have been determined. The evaluation of the efficiency of functioning of the FEZ in Lviv oblast (on the example of the SEZ Yavoriv and SEZ of tourist-recreational type Health Resort Truskavets) for the period 2000-2019 was carried out. Their influence on the socio-economic development of the Lviv oblast in general and the city of Truskavets and Yavoriv district in particular is shown. Based on the results of the study, the need for the use of new spatial and organizational forms of stimulating economic activity in the regions of Ukraine has been established.
