Abstract
The development of suburban residential areas influences the increasingly growing disparities between residential areas of a local municipal network. Real positive indicator values of settlements are usually used by planners to characterise the residential quality of a suburban settlement and to decide on its future development. These values frequently differ from choices made by urban residents on living under conditions of such interpretive suburban residential quality. It is the essence of spontaneous development in suburbs. This article aims to devise an integrated evaluation instrument that combines the objective and subjective evaluation of the quality indices of suburban residential environment. It introduces the following topics: (1) the identification of subjective and objective indices of the suburban residential environment; (2) development of the previous conceptual model of subjectively and objectively integrated quality indices used for the assessment of the suburban residential environment, and (3) comparison of suburban settlements by the existing conditions of the residential quality and the quality of the residential environment expected by potential residents. This piece of work is a part of a wider research.
Highlights
The outcome of urban–rural interaction in suburban territories depends on the functioning of the urban system and the scope of development (Collis et al 2010)
Real positive indicator values of settlements are usually used by planners to characterise the residential quality of a suburban settlement and to decide on its future development
The conceptual model of subjectively and objectively integrated assessment of quality indices of the suburban residential environment was established on the basis of scientific insights into the concept of quality of the suburban residential environment and assessment methods
Summary
The outcome of urban–rural interaction in suburban territories depends on the functioning of the urban system and the scope of development (Collis et al 2010). The article considers the aims of the investigation and focuses on the outcome of urban–rural interaction In other words, it investigates the residential environment (natural and anthropogenic) of suburban and rural areas and its quality. A reliable result should provide the sequence of integrally-based priority significances of suburban residential environment indices The use of this integrated sequence in further research could help to compare suburban settlements by existing conditions of the residential quality and the quality of residential environment expected by potential residents. Such comparison of suburban settlements could be a significant tool for the control of suburban development. The case was used to substantiate the importance of objective and subjective assessment of residential quality before using it in practice
