Methodological bases for assessing the level of environmental safety of dynamically developing urbanized territories

Abstract

Constant transformations taking place in urban areas infrastructure lead to a change in the nature of environmental components’ impact, which requires the methodological bases improvement to assess the level of environmental safety of dynamically developing urban areas. To solve this problem, authors proposed the use of environmental, economic and social criteria with the substantiation of the principles of its calculation and description of possible results for each direction. The methodological foundations presented in the article are one of the stages of constructing a methodology for assessing the level of environmental safety of dynamically developing urbanized territories, taking into account the qualitative changes in environmental factors, functional and planning transformations of the urban landscape, as well as accompanying socio-economic transformations.
