Based on a geotop approach, the issue has been studied concerning the creation of structuraltypologocal and spatial models of geotops of geomorphological type for the purpose of protecting the geoherotage of the Western Podillia region. Within the geomorphological regions there have been singled out different ranks of geotops (i.e., local, geotop-complex, geotop-landscapes) with signifying their present and prospective preservation status. The proposal have been put forward regarding the integration of geotops connected with valuable forms and with the complexes of forms of the relief within the schemes of planning the preserved sites and territories as well as working out the components of an econetwork of Western Podillia. Key word: local geotop, geotop-complex, geotop-landscapes, geoconservation, geodiversity, geo- tourism.
