Economic analysis is one of the main tools of ecosystem management aimed at socio-economic ecosystem communities development. Convergence of mapping the territory’s ecosystem and various methods of its analysis enables to understand the nature and features of various types of ecosystems, identify key growth points and promising directions of ecosystem dynamics. Objectives. The aim is to systematize directions of economic analysis based on the results of mapping the ecosystem of the territory. Methods. We employed content analysis of scientific papers, logical and systems methods. The research algorithm includes a review of previous studies, the research problem formulation, systematization of directions of economic analysis of territory’s ecosystem, discussion of possibilities of designing development strategies based on the economic analysis. The methodology rests on the system concept and the paradigm of sustainable development (sustainable production). Results. The paper offers a systematized table showing the areas of economic analysis of territory’s ecosystem. Conclusions. The study formulates opportunities for designing sustainable development strategies based on economic analysis and mapping the ecosystem of the territory. It identifies possibilities of strategizing the development of territory’s ecosystem on the basis of economic analysis, by mapping the territory’s ecosystem, using the case of the Tyumen Oblast.
