Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the identification of the basic directions in the functional-spatial transformations of the Truskavets spa during the period of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic. While conducting the present study, particular attention was drawn to the period of the 70’s and 80’s of the 20th century, which is regarded as the era of the greatest prosperity of tourism in the Soviet Union. Literature and source studies also took into consideration the so far unpublished cartographic materials and analysis of the consequences of the development of Truskavets was cognised. Among the consequences of the excessive growth of the spa, one finds among others: high attendance of spa guests, excessive urbanisation, investment pressure, excessive building concentration and environmental problems.
