Parameterization of Sustainable Development Components Using Nightlight Indicators in Ukraine

The paper deals with the question of establishing dependencies between the data of night satellite monitoring and indicators of sustainable development on the example of the territory of Ukraine. The method of obtaining zonal statistics data for administrative units of different levels is described, based on the estimation of illumination in the night in the longterm period. The use of local correlation and regression indicators is grounded to establish spatial differences in the tightness of the dependence between nightlight luminocity and indicators of sustainable development.
