PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAIN TRANSPORT OF THE CAPITAL OF UKRAINE AND ITS SUBURBS

Abstract

Problem Statement and Purpose. The modern level of development of the main transport of Kiev and its suburbs is highlighted. It is proved that the topological prop­erties of auto and railways and main gas pipelines and high-voltage transmission lines within the boundaries of Kyiv and its immediate suburbs are identical. Given the high concentration of relevant communications in this part of the Kiev region and on the periphery of the capital of Ukraine, the corresponding properties are not accidental, but manifestation of the emergent properties of the settlement structure of this territo­ry, as an integral system that has not only ecistic but also transport and infrastructure unity. The purpose of the study is to identify the general patterns of modern spatial development of main modes of transport in the capital region of Ukraine.Data & Methods. Kiev became the main transport hub of Ukraine. Thus, a significant part of transit passengers and partly cargoes moves through the city and in its suburbs. As a result, changes occurred in the component-territorial structure - the largest net­work of logistic parks in Ukraine was created, the first multimodal transport complex in the state, the new railway-and-motorway crossing through the Dnipro River was opened, the main railway station Kyiv-Passenger was radically reconstructed. Also, a new type of urban transport, a city train, was introduced for Ukraine. The specific­ity of the topology of the main modes of transport led to the use of the appropriate methodological apparatus of the study. The cartographic, comparative-geographical, graphs are basically put. The research is based on the methods: cartographic, compar­ative-geographical, graphs.Results. The transport system of the capital and its suburbs during the years of in­dependence of the state has become even more pronounced polarization. Kyiv be­came the main transport hub of Ukraine. Thus, a significant part of transit passengers and some cargo moves through the city and its suburbs. The result was changes in the component-territorial structure - the largest network of logistics parks in Ukraine was created, the country's first multimodal transport complex was opened, a new rail­way-road crossing over the Dnieper River, and the main Kyiv-Pasazhyrsky railway station was radically reconstructed. It was found that the topological properties of highways and railways and main gas pipelines and high-voltage power lines within the city of Kyiv and its nearest suburbs are the same. Given the highest concentration of relevant communications in this part of Kyiv region and on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital, the relevant properties are not accidental, but a manifestation of the emergent properties of the settlement structure of this territory as a whole system with not only ecstatic but also transport and infrastructural unity. Thus, it can be argued that in the future will develop a distribution network of these main modes of transport in the form of special infrastructure in the space between them. Accordingly, the city is focused on increasing development in these areas.
