Socio-Ecological And Economic Aspects Of Environmental Management In An Industrial City

Abstract

When greening industrial centers, an important issue is the environmental and economic rationale for the use of woody plants. One of the important problems is the assessment of the ecological potential and ecological capacity of forest plantations. The management of the urban economy should be focused on the protection, transformation, restoration and formation of forests of increased ecological productivity. The industrial city is considered as a socio-ecological-economic system, with the specificity of the city due to the geomorphological and physico-geographical conditions of the territory. The key characteristics are the features of education, development and formation of cities. Urban forest plantations, sanitary protection plantations and green areas of cities are considered as interrelated structural parts of the socio-ecological-economic systems. In the organization and development of the territories, an important place is occupied by the formation of green areas of cities. Greening cities and suburban areas is one of the most important factors for optimizing the ecological situation. It has been established that under the conditions of the Ufa industrial center (Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia) under the conditions of the prevailing petrochemical environmental pollution, the most resistant tree species are: Betula pendula Roth, Populus balsamifera L., Tilia cordata Mill. These gas- and dust-resistant species can be used to create protective forest stands along highways. It is shown that the following tree species are recommended for restricted use: Quercus robur L., Pinus sylvestris L. and Larix sukaczewii Dyl.
