The deterioration of the ecological state of all natural components in the territory of the Perm Krai is associated with an intense technogenic impact on the environment and an increase in the incidence of the population. Currently, in the practice of nature management there is no single, generally accepted method of integral assessment of both the ecological state of territories and the social conditions of life of the population. Most of the existing indicators (indices) consider only individual components of the general ecological state and are usually based on monitoring data. We believe that for a large region (for example, for the Perm Krai), it is advisable to take the technogenic impact as the basis for assessing the ecological state of the territory, with the obligatory consideration of the consequences of this impact on public health. To assess the ecological state of the territory, it is proposed to use the integral index of the ecological well-being of the territory. The stages of development of the integrated index of the ecological well-being of the territory are presented, the methodology for assessing the ecological state of the territory, assessing the social conditions of life and the incidence of the population is proposed. For the first time, a conditional norm was used as an evaluation criterion – the value of 50% probability of exceeding the selected calculated indicators. The main results of using the methodology are given on the example of the administrative-territorial units of the Perm Krai are presented.
