This study focuses on understanding the intentions and perspectives of the youth in Ukraine regarding their return to their native cities post-de-occupation. In the context of sustainable regional development, the research aims to grasp the complexities of the youth's mindset, which is crucial for effective policy-making and strategic planning in the post-occupation period. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative focus group discussions. The quantitative phase involved a survey, targeting youth aged 14-35 and its district, to gather data on their willingness to return to de-occupied territories, trust in local institutions, and views on reconstruction efforts. This was followed by qualitative research through structured focus groups, segmented into participants with varying attitudes towards returning. The study highlights the importance of stability, economic growth, and the rebuilding of trust from the youth's viewpoint. It emphasizes the critical role of young people as key stakeholders in the reconstruction and planning processes.
