Abstract

The present paper examines the problems of coastal areas within the Irkutsk agglomeration and dis-cusses the changes that occurred in the studied territories over time. The study is based on a com-prehensive approach to the urban planning analysis of coastal areas under agglomeration. In particular, the analysis of urban planning documentation, legal basis and geoinformation databases was carried out. In the study, the following aspects are highlighted: determining the characteristics of the River Angara basin; studying the changes in the investigated coastal area over history (pre-revolutionary pe-riod (late 17th century - 1917), Soviet period (1917–1991), post-Soviet period (1991 - early 21st cen-tury)); characterising the current state of the studied coastal area within the Irkutsk agglomeration, in particular, transport network, functional zoning, natural resource potential (landscapes and vegetation), environmental risks (harmful effects of water and vegetation contamination) and socio-economic po-tential; identifying the problems of the investigated coastal areas based on the performed analysis (transport, planning, environmental and socio-economic aspects). It can be concluded that the absence of a general strategy for developing the region resulted in the identified issues associated with the coastal area.
