Abstract: Subject. The high resource potential of the Krasnoyarsk Territory generates a topical and rapidly growing demand for its territory for the purposes of its multifunctional economic use. The variety of loads on the regional ecosystems and the desire to minimize the risk of their destruction requires a comprehensive planning and targeted use of the territories of the region. Objectives. To substantiate an integrated approach and the construction of the index, reflecting the sustainable development of natural resource areas. To create an administrative tool based on statistical data, without expert estimates and subjective judgments, in order to make decisions about the possibility of placing production facilities in the selected municipality from a position of the three dimensions: ecology, society, economy. Methodology. Using statistical and econometric methods, this paper substantiates the construction of the index that is an aggregated integral index of environmental sustainability for municipalities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The technique is applicable to various scales of territorial zoning. The scale is determined by the availability of reliable statistical information for objects of different sizes (municipality, city district, industrial zones). Results. The article highlights the issues of environmental economic zoning of resource areas on the basis of the integral index of ecological and economic stability, taking into account environmental, economic and social factors in the context of municipalities (urban districts, municipal districts). Besides, the article shows the possibilities of environmental economic zoning for the determination of the boundaries of priority and recommended functional areas, because the local areas of institutional conflict environmental management are located precisely there. A draft of Krasnoyarsk Territory Government Resolution ‘On approval of a regional order and methods of environmental economic zoning of the Krasnoyarsk Territory’ is developed for the purposes of balanced social, ecological and economic development of the natural and resource region Conclusion. The developed approach can be used to ensure the sustainable development of territories of intensive economic development, to substantiate socio-economic development programs of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and its municipalities, to carry out ecological and economic assessment and decision-making about the possibility to implement major investment projects
