Abstract
Depressed areas are naturally degraded sections of urbanized territories. Their existence is always a cause of deterioration in social, economic and environmental conditions. Renovation of depressed areas is an activity that ensures the restoration of favorable conditions in the areas they occupy. Renovation is necessary to ensure the safety of the population and normal living conditions. There are several types of depressed areas that differ in their scale. Depressed objects are individual abandoned buildings and territories around them. Depressed urban districts include parts of the territory of cities with low or naturally declining quality of life, which is characterized by destroying buildings and structures, as well as undeveloped and unsettled sections. Depressed industrial zones are vast territories surrounding complexes of abandoned industrial enterprises. A separate type of depressed areas are ghost towns. They are considered urban-type localities with collapsing buildings and degraded infrastructure, abandoned by residents or a significant part of them. A characteristic feature of all types of depressed areas is their uncontrolled colonization by various organisms. For this reason, depressed areas can be considered as unmanageable natural and technical systems. Transpersonal socionics is an interdisciplinary science, the subject of which is the study of the interaction of various organizational structures and social groups consisting of individuals united by common interests. Such aggregate elements of society can be divided into several categories that differ in the nature of their involvement in the renovation process. They are designated as economic, territorial, technological, administrative, political, and social stakeholders. For each of the categories, the nature of risks caused by the existence of depressed areas is described. Special attention is paid to the problems of environmental risks of various categories of stakeholders. Based on the use of the principles of transpersonal socionics, a method is proposed that allows providing a systematic unified approach to the development of programs for the renovation of depressed areas on the basis of the consideration of all parties involved in this problem (stakeholders).
Highlights
Depressed areas are sections of urbanized territories that are subject to sustained degradation
The scale of depressed areas can vary significantly. According to this feature and other features, they can be divided into several types: depressed objects – individual abandoned buildings and territories around them; depressed urban districts – parts of the territory of cities with low or naturally decreasing quality of life, which is characterized by destroying buildings and structures, as well as undeveloped and unsettled sections – wasteland [3]; depressed industrial zones – vast territories surrounding complexes of abandoned industrial enterprises [4]; ghost towns - settlements abandoned by the population or a significant part of it, with collapsing buildings and degraded infrastructure [5, 6]
To determine the composition of aggregate elements of society whose interests are affected by the renovation of depressed areas, we can use the method of identification of various categories of stakeholders developed for environmental image-making [13]

The objects of research were sections of unfinished abandoned buildings and structures in Moscow and the Moscow region, as well as the study of the industrial zone of the Nalaikh district (Mongolia)
