Abstract
A concept of zoning that addresses Natural and Man-made Disaster Security (NMDS) is proposed. NMDS’s features and factors used in regional divisions are discussed. The system of factors and the level of their influence are described. The nature, principles, criteria, and indicators for appropriate zoning are determined. Ukraine’s territory is described from the standpoint of NMDS considering spatial differences and the level of population security, economic facilities, and natural ecosystems in respect to negative impacts of natural and technogenic character. Features and dynamics of NMDS of Ukraine from the regional division perspective and natural and technogenic hazards to the regions are shown. Prospects of social geography theory and methodology in the development of the foundations of NMDS are provided. A socio-geographical mechanism of NMDS for the regions is presented. Goals and key directions of its implementation are defined. A system of methods and implementation measures of socio-geographical mechanism of NMDS is proposed. The organizational and management structure of NMDS of Ukraine at different hierarchical territorial levels, particularly at the regional level, is identified. The system of organization and management of environmental monitoring and detection of human, financial, and material reserves is necessary in prevention and minimization of negative impacts of natural and manmade disasters.
Highlights
Territorial organization of ecological security and organizational and management structure of Natural and Man-made Disaster Security (NMDS) at different territorial levels of hierarchy in Ukraine have not been well studied yet, in particular, in terms of natural and manmade risks at the regional level
It is within specific regions that natural and manmade hazards can be identified and concretized most completely, the most effective territorial reserves needed for emergency situations can be pulled, and the establishment of a full range of activities aimed at risk reduction is possible
The most important is the interaction within the CIS and the GUAM (Organization of Black Sea Economic Cooperation)
Summary
Territorial organization of ecological security and organizational and management structure of Natural and Man-made Disaster Security (NMDS) at different territorial levels of hierarchy in Ukraine have not been well studied yet, in particular, in terms of natural and manmade risks at the regional level. A considerable flow of operational information and a holistic vision of the territory are lost; in case of natural and manmade hazards, it is only possible to characterize a certain part of emergency situations’ development and balance, making situations not always predictable and controllable. In this regard, the sociogeographical approach in solving problems of the regional natural and technogenic security may be used to integrally achieve strategic and tactical objectives of NMDS, linking them with economic and social objectives of the regional development
