The influence of socio-demographic and external factors on the change of urban parameters of the Luhansk region

Abstract

The scale and nature of changes in the urban planning parameters of the Luhansk region under the influence of socio-demographic and external factors are studied. The actual development trends of the Lysychansk-Rubizhne-Sievierodonetsk agglomeration, the evolution of the regional settlement system, the state and problems of the urban development of the region are determined. To conduct the study, methods of system analysis, analytical comparisons, statistical analysis, urban planning analysis were used. The information base consists of literary and archival sources, cartographic materials. Quantitative and qualitative changes in the main territorial and urban planning parameters of the Luhansk region have been studied. A methodology for assessing and making urban planning decisions is proposed. The urban planning tasks and directions of transformation of the residential environment of the Luhansk region, controlled by Ukraine, are analyzed. Lugansk region in modern conditions is an outsider of socio-economic development. The occupied territories of the Lugansk region of the so-called ORLO (separate districts of the Luhansk region) are in a state of crisis. Industrial, ecological, social degradation is intensifying. This trend can lead to the devastation of settlement systems. The tasks of rational transformation of the territorial-planning organization of the Lugansk region remain relevant. From the intermediate conclusions, it is advisable to single out: the region has significantly changed its functions. The border and the line of demarcation of the JFO will still indefinitely be the determining factor influencing the state and development of the region. The task of the territorial development should be considered at the level of the Lysychansk-Rubizhne-Sievierodonetsk agglomeration and the structure of the region as a whole to ensure the growth of its potential. It is expedient to implement priority tasks according to unconditionally effective options that give a quick and demonstrable result. It can be education, transport infrastructure, anything that raises social standards. It is necessary to achieve a consensus of different groups of the population in the implementation of urban planning tasks and projects.
