INDIVIDUAL ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT OF DEFENSIVE URBANISM IN THE POST-CONFLICT PERIOD

Abstract

The history of the development of military science shows that defense objects of long-term fortification need not only skill from the creators, but also a long time and significant financial costs for construction. Economic efficiency is usually not considered here, the expediency of such construction is strictly determined by an increase in the level of the country's defense capability. 
 With the change or improvement of the types of offensive weapons, it became necessary to reconstruct the defensive objects of long-term fortification or even dismantle them and build modern fortifications in their place.
 With the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022, the occupants invaded the territory of Ukraine in certain directions. That is, it can be clearly indicated that the seizure of Ukrainian territory by the aggressor took place using the existing anthropogenic framework, which includes international and national main and local roads, railway lines of communication.
 Experience shows that the country must have a system of fortified areas, defense positions, centers of resistance and strongholds, equipped with long-term fortifications and barriers, which must be built along the state border. At the same time, it is advisable to supplement the existing system of long-term fortification with the construction of dual-use engineering facilities (civilian and military) and the use of objects of natural or natural-anthropogenic origin, which improve the efficiency and environmental performance of such expensive structures.
 Dual-use facilities should be able to quickly turn them into a defense facility. Land areas of natural origin (forest and wetlands) should also serve as defensive barriers. In the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine, it is advisable to use agro-recreational and agricultural production areas (rice plantations, plantations with fast-growing trees, etc.), which will be a significant addition to the main system of long-term fortification. This approach will increase the indicators of efficiency and environmental friendliness in the overall structure of defense facilities in Ukraine.
