Abstract

The article provides an analysis of construction influence on the environment, the environment-forming function of the construction activity has also been studied. The assessment of environmental factors has been made on the basis of interdisciplinary approach. The conducted assessment of state and dynamics of eco-economic interaction between the construction activity and the environment, the basis of sustenance of the urban and agricultural economy in Russia, has demonstrated the investment potential of production of the construction materials. However, the raw materials are mined by the open pit; the lands of agricultural purpose get requisitioned for the pits. All this shows an ecological inefficiency of the construction industry growing from year to year. A direct demolition of natural eco-systems in the local areas contradicts the attractiveness of ecological construction in the framework of movement to the sustainable development of the country. The system “construction – vital activities environment” has been reviewed as an eco-economic equilibrium, as a criterion of the authentic system-level development. It is necessary to increase the quality of ecological monitoring. The performed analytical helps to come to a conclusion that notwithstanding the developed basic provisions of institutional policy a negative impact of construction on the environment impedes the development of ecologically-oriented investment and construction activity and sustainable development of the country.

Highlights

  • The favorable environment of human life and activities and business is used as a matter as the basis for health and working ability of people, economical growth of the state as a whole according to the Town-planning code of the Russian Federation N 190-FZ

  • The “releasing” function of nature is related to the creation of construction facilities of different purpose, it is used for estimated justification and enhancing the level of people protection as a whole, including the system of life sustenance of urban economy and agriculture [1]

  • The non-metallic raw materials hold a share of 62.9%, including 58.1% of construction materials in total volume and structure of extraction of commercial minerals [29]

Summary

Introduction

The system of ecological monitoring includes observations of the state of biosphere elements and observations of the sources and factors of human impact. One of such major factors is the modern construction. Rejmers offers to give consideration to the environment as a dynamic aggregate of the natural environment (“the first nature”), man-modified natural environment (“the second nature”), remediated environment of the towns (“the third nature”), social-psychological and socio-economic environments [2] Though, even in this case “the first nature” experiences a negative impact on the part of the anthropogenic factor. In order to preclude the expanding environment pollution, poverty and fast growth of human population, and other negative factors of anthropogenic character, it is necessary to establish and develop the system of ecological monitoring, meet the requirements of environmental regulations and quality standards of the environment
