The article considers the need to form an information-analytical complex of natural-technogenic geosystem (NTGS) of Donbass "regional technogenic complex – environment" as a tool base for building a model of ecological and economic development. Donbass (area up to 5.8 thousand km2 with a population of more than 4 million people) is a technogenic-geological system (TGS) ("regional technogenic complex – geological environment"). In addition, there are more than 4,000 potentially dangerous objects within the PTGS of Donbass. The predominance of regional irreversible changes in the ecological parameters of the geological environment as the main "depot" of the technogenesis effects (deformation of the earth's surface, geochemical pollution of landscapes, surface and groundwater, biodiversity loss, etc.) necessitates the preservation of its ecological resources for further socio-economic recovery of the Donbass region. Comparison of the impact of natural resource potential of the geological environment (GS) of Donbass and the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone showed the fundamental importance of balancing the interaction of the lithosphere with the surface hydrosphere, near-surface atmosphere and biosphere for the formation of socio-economic parameters and safety of life activity. Flooding of coal mines and rising of groundwater level to surface are the critical ecological factors of post-mining situation within Donbas. The performed analysis of ecological and technogenic parameters of NTGS of mining areas within Donbass also showed that in case of further increase in the number of flooded mines, advanced scientific development of maximum allowable changes in the environment is necessary. It is also noted that all selected tools for the formation of life safety should have a clear justification of socio-economic and environmental-technological parameters. All this should provide an opportunity to assess the efficiency of the ecological and economic system, methods of its construction and possible forecasting.
