Znaczenie badan krajobrazovych dla zrownowazonego rozwoju. ? Warszawa. ? 2007. ? S. 361-369.The analysis of all schemes of physical-geographical subdivisions (PGS) of Belarus is made. The timeframe of our research is from the Dement?evs works (1959, 1960), who divided the territory of Belarus on the 6 provinces, 6 okrugs, 40 regions and 53 subregions until nowadays. The proposed scheme of physical-geographical subdivisions is made in decimal system, which is linked with PGSs of neighbouring countries, including the scheme of Poland?s subdivision, which has been developed by professor J. Kondracki (1988) in the same system and consists of 5 provinces, 14 okrugs and 49 regions.
