'''Shchyrets''' ({{langx|uk|Щирець}}) is a [rural settlement](/source/Populated_places_in_Ukraine) in [Lviv Raion](/source/Lviv_Raion) of [Lviv Oblast](/source/Lviv_Oblast) in [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine). It is located on the [Shchyrka](/source/Shchyrka), in the [drainage basin](/source/drainage_basin) of the [Dniester](/source/Dniester). Shchyrets hosts the administration of [Shchyrets settlement hromada](/source/Shchyrets_settlement_hromada), one of the [hromada](/source/hromada)s of Ukraine.<ref name="admreform_2020_shchyrets">{{cite web |title=Щирецька громада |url=https://gromada.info/ru/obschina/shyrecka/ |publisher=Портал об'єднаних громад України |language=ru}}</ref> Population: {{Ua-pop-est2022|5,659|punct=.}}

==History==
Until 18 July 2020, Shchyrets belonged to [Pustomyty Raion](/source/Pustomyty_Raion). The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Pustomyty Raion was merged into Lviv Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів. Постанова Верховної Ради України № 807-ІХ.|url=http://www.golos.com.ua/article/333466|access-date=2020-10-03|date=2020-07-18|website=Голос України|language=uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Нові райони: карти + склад |url=https://www.minregion.gov.ua/press/news/novi-rajony-karty-sklad/ |publisher=Міністерство розвитку громад та територій України |language=Ukrainian}}</ref>

Until 26 January 2024, Shchyrets was designated [urban-type settlement](/source/urban-type_settlement). On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Shchyrets became a rural settlement.<ref name="glavnoe">{{cite news |title=Что изменится в Украине с 1 января |url=https://glavnoe.in.ua/ru/novosti/chto-yzmenytsya-v-ukrayne-s-1-yanvarya |work=glavnoe.in.ua |language=ru| date=1 January 2024}}</ref>
