RASTE MITRA: AUTOMATED POTHOLES DETECTION AND FILLING SYSTEM

Potholes are one of the major issues on the roads because they cause damage to vehicles, lead to accidents, and incur higher maintenance costs. “Raste Mitra” in contrast is a comprehensive solution as it performs automatic pothole detection and classification, as well as repairs. The system employs a Raspberry Pi for controlling the functions, YOLOv5 for detecting potholes in movement, and ultrasonic sensors for object detection. The technique is sustainable due to the use of a solar powered battery management system and autonomous and self-filling technique eliminates need of labor. Additionally, the use of cloud notifications allows the responsible guards to be informed on occurrences of potholes in the dangerous state enabling them to take measures in time. The technologies adopted in “Raste Mitra” contribute to advancing road safety management through better maintenance systems and promotes the management of roads in a sustainable way. The paper discusses the processes used, hardware used, and the scope of the project on road maintenance. Key Words: Automated pothole detection, YOLOv5, Raspberry Pi, road safety, sustainable infrastructure, ultrasonic sensors, cloud-based notifications.

Вопросы адаптации законодательства к правовому режиму военного положения, военного времени, вооруженных конфликтов и боевых действий

The author actualizes the problem by delineating the positions of scientists and practitioners who argue that in a state of danger to the nation, where the armed forces of Russia are engaged in defense and protection, legal mechanisms designed for functioning in peacetime are insufficient to adequately regulate public relations. Substantial legal reform is required. This issue is examined through the lens of the federal law “On Organ and (or) Human Tissue Transplantation”. The aim is to elucidate the legal discrepancies between the statutory pro-visions and the actual circumstances of their implementation in the context of military actions, as well as to demonstrate the negative consequences arising from this mismatch. The method of legal modeling is used as a methodological basis. From an axiological (value systems) perspective, a system-structural method is ap-plied to investigate the norms governing transplantation, as well as criminal and criminally-remedial legislation. Conclusions drawn from this analysis address particularly challenging issues encountered in wartime condi-tions, notably those pertaining to the requirement for a collective medical assessment to certify death, along-side the challenges associated with forensic medical examinations of corpses when the causal link to the indi-vidual’s death is obscure.

Research on Security Situation Assessment and Prediction Model of Network System in Deep Learning Environment

With the development of the Internet, the network environment is increasingly complex, and the problem of network security is increasingly serious. Traditional passive network security technology has been unable to meet people’s current security needs, in this context, network security situation awareness arises at the historic moment. NSSA technology makes the traditional passive security into active security, from the analysis of unilateral elements to the analysis of the overall security. As key technology of situation perception, security situation assessment and prediction can evaluate and predict the network security situation at the overall level, help network security managers understand the overall network security changes and take protective measures in advance when predicting the dangerous state, which has important research significance. This paper mainly studies the situation assessment and prediction technology of network security, and puts forward the improved model and algorithm, which improves accuracy of situation assessment and prediction results. Prediction accuracy reaches 97.86%, and the efficiency of the situation assessment reaches 98.22%.

Failure Prediction of an Airfoil-Type Crack in Thermoelectric Coupling Materials

Airfoil-type cracks with curved surfaces and sharp tips are frequently encountered in modern engineering applications and the aerospace industry. However, such cracks significantly threaten structures due to stress concentration and further cause damage. This study investigates the theoretical analysis and failure prediction of airfoil-type cracks within thermoelectric coupling materials under the interaction of remote mechanical loads, heat flux and electric current density. By employing complex variable theory, conformal mapping methods, and the analytic continuation theorem, the full-field stress and stress intensity factors of an airfoil-type crack were determined under three different loading conditions. The results indicate that when the airfoil-shaped crack tip is subjected to horizontal compression, vertical tensile mechanical load, and both heat flux and current density parallel to the crack, the crack tip would reach a dangerous state. Additionally, the full-field stress distribution reveals stress concentration around the crack tip, which explains variations in SIFs under different external forces and shape factors. Four critical situations suppressing crack propagation under mixed loading conditions are proposed. Furthermore, using an acrylic plate and bismuth telluride alloy as examples, the critical values of external loading for the mixed-mode fracture are determined based on the strain energy density criterion. These critical values can be used to predict failure initiation, thus reducing the risk of structural failure due to airfoil cracks within thermoelectric coupling materials.

The research progress of bio char in environmental pollution and treatment

In recent years, various forms of environmental pollution have become increasingly severe, leading to a dangerous state in the atmosphere, water, and soil environments. This poses a threat to people's daily lives and has sparked widespread concern in society. Concurrently, bio char, a novel carbon material known for its large specific surface area, porosity, affordability, and excellent adsorption capabilities, has garnered attention. The incremental development and utilization of bio char have positioned it as a promising contender in sewage treatment, air pollution control, soil pollution treatment and other pollutant adsorption processes. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the preparation of bio char, its current research status, and the factors influencing its adsorption efficiency through an extensive literature survey.

Therapeutic Function of Literary Accounts of the War in Ukraine Addressed to Children

The aim of the article is to analyse children’s books on war, written by Polish and Ukrainian authors, with special emphasis on the war in Ukraine. The starting point for the considerations is the methodology of children’s studies, which is a scientific discipline that places childhood as the subject of in-depth research. The interpretation used current data on psychological problems related to the youngest refugees from Ukraine. Children’s books by Polish authors published in the series Adult Wars – Children’s Stories about the war in Ukraine were analysed, and their indisputable therapeutic functions were indicated. Reading them individually or collectively brings relief to the traumas experienced by Ukrainian children who find themselves in exile in a new, unknown country. At the same time, it teaches compassion and creates empathy for those in need among the youngest Poles. Then, the works from the indicated series were compared with those written at the same time, i. e. from February 2022, by Ukrainian authors. It turned out that they did not take into account the psychological needs of Ukrainian children, promoting primarily patriotic content and focusing on providing knowledge about the homeland in a state of danger. The summary includes a postulate regarding the need to adapt the content and form of the message related to war in children’s literature to the audience of early school age, in such a way that its therapeutic function is fulfilled.

Assessment of epidemic risk state and its change trend of public hospital in underdeveloped area in different stages.

Epidemics are sudden and rapidly spreading. Hospitals in underdeveloped areas are particularly vulnerable in case of an outbreak. This paper aims to assess the epidemic risk state and its change trend of hospitals in different epidemic stages, identify the key factors affecting hospital epidemic risk change, provide priority reference for hospital epidemic risk control, and enhance the hospital's ability to respond to sudden epidemics. Based on Grounded theory, the epidemic risk indicators that affect hospital safety are summarized. The concept of epidemic risk state and its random state space is proposed according to Markov chain theory. The impact of each indicator on the random risk state and its change is comprehensively assessed from two aspects: risk occurrence probability and risk loss. Finally, the assessment of the hospital epidemic risk state and its change at different stages is achieved. The stable risk states of public hospitals in underdeveloped areas in non-epidemic stage t0, early epidemic stage t1, and outbreak stage t2 are , , and , respectively. In non-epidemic stage, the key factor in improving the hospital epidemic risk state is emergency funding. In early epidemic stage, the key factors in improving the hospital epidemic risk state are the training of medical staff in epidemic prevention skills and the management of public health. In outbreak state, the key factor in improving the hospital epidemic risk state is the training of medical staff in epidemic prevention skills and psychological awareness. This paper proposes the concept of epidemic risk state, providing an effective assessment method for the epidemic risk state and its change trend in public hospitals. According to the assessment, public hospitals in underdeveloped areas in different epidemic stages should adopt different risk control strategies to improve their current risk state. Blind risk control is inefficient and may even cause the epidemic risk to transition toward a more dangerous state.

Detecting Defect in Central Pivot Irrigation System using YOLOv7 Algorithms

Central Pivot Irrigation System (CPIS) is a significant method for intelligent irrigation used in global agriculture. It is used to cultivate important crops like wheat, which contribute to global food security. However, the CPIS encounters technical issues that result in malfunctions in its automatic control system, leading to damage to the primary pipes and towers. This can result in significant material losses for farmers and their crops. Repairing the system is also a time-consuming process. To address this issue, a study was conducted using YOLO algorithm which contains several models, and this study used the Yolov7 models to detect defects in the CPIS machine accurately. The study used a dataset gathered from agricultural areas in Salah al-Din Governorate. The models were used to determine whether the CPIS was in a safe or dangerous state. The RGB color system with Yolov7x achieved a 95% detection rate with an accuracy, F1-score, and precision values of 0.798 and 0.954. Similarly, Yolov7x achieved a 93% detection rate with accuracy, F1-score, and precision values of 0.77 and 0.932 in the Grayscale color system. Based on the outcome, this study can conclude that the yolov7x model with RGB Color System accurately detects the CPIS in both its safe and dangerous states. This makes them useful in real-time systems for CPIS defect monitoring and control.

Ментальна топографія травми (за романом володимира рафєєнка петрикор – запах землі після дощу)

The article is research into the traumatic experience of war, based on the Volodymyr Rafieienko’s novel Petrichor – Smell of the Earth after the Rain. It’s logical to examine this text from the position of trauma studies, which have become very actual in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war and its consequences. The writer represented the prospect of overcoming collective and individual trauma in a very original way. He describes in details the painful experiences caused by the forced resettlement of people, and most of all – the feeling of guilt due to the death of close ones. Rafieienko’s novel reflects the world of imagination of a person with a disturbed psyche. In such a way, he suggests a new kind of narration where imaginarium (the world of fantasy, visions and the dreams of the characters) and the pictures of an unbearable reality, which must be recalled to understand the depth of the pain in order to continue living, are crossed in a natural way. Petrichor… represents the author’s individual vision of the cultural trauma, which causes a radical change in human identity. This new identity is the creative force and at the same time, it impresses on one the state of total danger, nationwide mobilization and solidarity. The writer raises the issue of sacred sacrifice. We mean the price that must be paid for the renunciation of the difficult past. All this leads to a persistent psychological disorder within the novel’s characters. Thus, Rafieienko carries out a mental topography of trauma, indicating its important markers and motives within a specific geocultural space.

DETERMINANTS OF EXTERNAL ECONOMIC SECURITY OF UKRAINE IN 2010-2022

Objective. The objective of the present study is to analyze the level of economic security in general and foreign economic security of Ukraine in 2010-2021, in particular, to identify disincentive factors and stimulators of foreign economic security in 2010-2022. Methods. The following methods and techniques of cognition are applied: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction (to justify the complementary relationship between economic and foreign economic security), analysis of series of dynamics (to identify the state and trends inherent in indicators of economic and foreign economic security of Ukraine), tabular (for visual presentation of factual data on the level and dynamics of economic and foreign economic security of Ukraine in 2010-2021 and 2010-2022, respectively ). Results. On the basis of the conducted study of the level of economic security in general and external economic security of Ukraine in 2010-2021, in particular, it is determined that during the period under the analysis, the level of economic security of Ukraine was on average 40%, foreign economic security – 35%, which corresponds to a dangerous state. At the same time, foreign economic security is proposed to be considered as the state of protection of the country's national economic interests in the field of foreign economic relations, which is based on the country's ability to ensure sustainable economic growth and increase the welfare of the population in the long term; protect their national resources and markets from external threats; influence world economic processes and defend their interests in the international arena. It is identified that the factors stimulating foreign economic security of Ukraine in 2010-2022 were: high level of openness of the economy; the specifics of export-import operations – the value of exports significantly exceeded the value of imports, a high level of focus on one geographical direction was observed – one foreign trade partner, one product; low level of processing of goods and specialization in trade in raw goods with a low level of processing; low level of utilization of the transit capacities of the gas transportation and oil transportation system; sufficiently high level of import dependence; insufficient level of diversification of the economy. It is determined that despite the lack of factors stimulating the country's foreign economic security during 2010-2022, the following positive trends are observed during this period: decrease in the openness of the national economy, decrease in the level of foreign trade dependence of Ukraine on leading partner countries, decrease in the level of dependence on export volumes countries from the leading product (product group).

The Essence and Meaning of Repetition in the Criminal Law of Russia

Introduction. From the standpoint of a critical analysis of the current criminal legislation of Russia, as well as the doctrine of criminal law and criminology, the article examines the essence and significance of the institution of repetition in the criminal law of Russia. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The research was carried out taking into account the directions of criminal policy in Russia, the constitutional analysis of normative legal provisions on responsibility for committing crimes. The use of the formal-logical research method made it possible to identify the essence and types of repetition in criminal law, and to establish the patterns of its implementation in criminal law. Results. In the course of the study, attention is drawn to the fact that the formation of the concept of “repeatedness”, in the context of the development of the sociological school of criminal law, implied the attribution to this institution, first of all, of situations of committing several criminal acts, bearing in mind the objective danger to society of the multiplicity of crimes and persons who commit them (for example, recidivists and professional criminals). At the same time, not only the multiplicity of crimes poses a danger to society and the State, but also the commission of other unlawful acts, which, if repeated, in some cases can acquire a qualitatively different character and reach the level of a criminal act. This position is the basis of the current institution of repetition and, in particular, the institution of administrative prejudice. In this regard, the presented work examines the essence, types, and meaning of repetition in its existing version in the criminal law of Russia. Discussion and Сonclusion. The problems of repetition are also considered in the aspect of the correlation of this institution with the theory of the dangerous state of the individual, the principle of the prohibition of punishment twice for the same act. The indicated aspects of the topic necessitated the appeal not only to works on the theory of criminal law, but also to the relevant issues of philosophy and logic. As a result, the author concludes that such a type of multiplicity as the repetition of offenses is singled out, the types of this multiplicity are determined and its importance for the criminalization and decriminalization of crimes is substantiated.

Природно-правове регулювання суспільних відносин в період соціальної аномії

It was found that the transitional state of the development of society is always characterized by instability in all spheres of people’s life. Social changes can be both negative and positive, because society is a living organism that must update, develop, and change. It is important that anomic, crisistransitional states turn into stable, updated socio-legal relations between members of society within the state field, and not go into crisis decline. It is emphasized that under the conditions of an anomic state of development of society, the norms of natural law acquire special importance, which do not allow society to move to the level of illegal development, until legal norms that can fully regulate social relations are formed and updated. Every society at a certain stage of its development experiences crisis periods characterized not only by social instability, but also by the decline and destruction of moral and legal guidelines and value standards. It is noted that social anomie is a rather dangerous state that can develop into mass riots, strikes, rallies and revolutions, when the norms and prescriptions of the state are ignored, and in the worst case, they are violated due to what citizens consider ineffective. This can lead to the spread of conformist behavior. In the context of the regulation of human behavior in society, it is impossible, and it is not necessary, to strictly distinguish the norms of morality, ethics, spiritual, canonical and natural law norms, because these norms are interconnected and recognize the inadmissibility of violating the norms of positive law. Attention is focused on the fact that anomic states are characteristic of any society at a certain stage of its development, mostly as crisis-transitional states. Natural law norms support the lawful functioning of society through the recognition by a person of the value of moral, spiritual and ethical norms, which allows avoiding a deformed worldview and improper behavior. Natural law regulation of social relations in the period of social anomie can act as a stimulator of lawful human behavior, activating the value orientations of a person.

The influence of internal personal conflicts on the formation of personality in adolescent age

The article examines and analyzes modern and foreign research on the influence of intrapersonal conflicts on personality formation in adolescence. The factors that contribute to the emergence of intrapersonal conflicts, including physiological changes, social pressure and the search for self-identity, are analyzed. The positive and negative effects of intrapersonal conflicts on the formation of a teenager's personality are determined. Insufficient understanding of the nature and consequences of intrapersonal conflicts in adolescence makes it difficult to develop effective strategies to support young people. Internal conflicts in adolescence are usually associated with contradictions between the desire for independence and the need for support, the search for one's own identity and pressure from peers and society, as well as with changes in physiological development. These conflicts can lead to emotional stress, increased anxiety, depression and other mental disorders. Effective overcoming of such conflicts contributes to the formation of a healthy, mature and stable personality. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and hostilities have a profound effect on the psychological state of teenagers. War creates a constant state of danger, uncertainty, and stress that exacerbates intrapersonal conflicts. Adolescents who live in a war zone or have lost loved ones face additional emotional and mental challenges. Intrapersonal conflicts in adolescence are an inevitable part of the growing up process and have a significant impact on personality formation. This emphasizes the need to conduct a comprehensive study aimed at studying specific aspects of the influence of these conflicts on the formation of the personality of teenagers in the conditions of modern Ukraine. The results of such a study can become the basis for the development of recommendations for psychologists, teachers and parents on supporting adolescents in overcoming internal contradictions and promoting their positive development.

On the construction of the corpus delicti committed by a person occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy

The article deals with the norm of Article 210.1 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation on criminal liability for occupying a higher position in the criminal hierarchy and the practice of its application. It is concluded that there is no uniformity in the interpretation of the concept of «a person occupying a higher position in the criminal hierarchy» both in the theory of criminal law and in law enforcement practice. An opinion is expressed about the inconsistency of Art. 210.1 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation to the principles of criminal law, primarily the principle of justice, and the legal determination of the basis of criminal liability (Article 8 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation). Considering that criminal liability should arise not for a dangerous state of the individual, but for the commission of a socially dangerous act containing all the elements of a crime, the authors propose to exclude Article 210.1 from the Criminal Code of Russian Federation. At the same time, it is recommended to construct elements of especially serious crimes, supplementing them with the qualifying (especially qualifying) attribute «commitment of an act by a person occupying a higher position in the criminal hierarchy».

ТЕОРЕТИКО-МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ РІВНЯ ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ УКРАЇНИ

The article deals with theoretical and methodological approaches to determining the level of energy security, which is one of the most important components of the national security of the state. The evolution of theoretical foundations of energy security research is considered, and the definition of energy security is generalized. Based on the analysis of the main provisions of the Energy Security Strategy, it is determined that the Strategy needs to be revised and improved in connection with the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. In order to determine the level of energy security of Ukraine, the article considers a universal methodology of identification and strategizing, which compares the state of different spheres and substantiates strategic scenarios of security development. The system of indicators for determining the level of energy security of Ukraine, which includes a reduced set of 48 indicators, divided into 7 groups, is studied. Such as threats, challenges, risks, resilience of the energy sector, energy supply, and subjects of energy security. Integral assessment methods are used to evaluate the level of energy security compared to threshold values of indicators. Based on these indicators, it was found that the energy sector of Ukraine has been in a state of danger since 2006. Short-term, long-term and strategic measures to improve the level of energy security of Ukraine are presented. The article states that energy security is one of the main components of national security. Today, Ukraine is in the article of energy danger, therefore, to improve the situation, integration with Europe, development of renewable energy, political reforms and electrification of transport are needed.

THE EXISTENCE OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WITH COMPELLING URGENCY BASED ON THE FORMULA OF THE ARTICLE OF THE 1945 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

<span lang="EN-US">The meaning of a state of emergency with a compelling urgency is very dependent on the meaning of the President's interpretation, because the President has the authority to determine when something is considered a state of emergency and when something is considered a state of urgency which causes this situation to create no legal certainty in determining a state of emergency or urgency coercive because everything really depends on the interpretation of the authority taken by a President based on his own legal interpretation because the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia gives this authority to the President, while the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia does not provide clear boundaries as to what is the definition of a state of emergency with a coercive urgency. This Research used Qualitative research methods. Qualitative research methods using normative juridical and empirical juridical approaches using primary data and secondary data. The result shows that State of emergency includes war emergency, military emergency and civil emergency which are based on situations that have actually occurred or are objective while for compelling emergencies based on the subjective circumstances of the president, with the standards set out in the Constitutional Court Decision Number 138/PUU-VII/2009. Determination of a state of danger which is the implementation of Article 12 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia from 1946-2018 is contained in 12 laws and the urgency that compels the implementation of Article 22 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia from 1960-2020 is contained in 134 Perppu issued by the President.</span>

Точка росы как основа оперативного показателя лесопожарной опасности

The problem of preventing forest fires and timely mobilization of extinguishing agents is particularly acute in the Irkutsk Region, where forests cover considerable areas. The use of classical indices for assessing forest fire danger does not always provide accurate results in the operational planning of fire extinguishing measures. The aim of this study is to develop a simple and effective indicator for predicting the occurrence of forest fires. The forestries of the Irkutsk Region, which were most severely affected by forest fires, were chosen as the object of this study. In the course of the study, it has been necessary to solve a number of problems, such as assessing the adequacy of the existing methods, developing a more accurate and simple indicator for local conditions, establishing the algorithm for calculating and the scale for assessing the fire danger class. As the initial data, the publicly available data from the meteorological observations archives and the data from the Remote Monitoring Information System of the Federal Forestry Agency (ISDM-Rosleskhoz) have been used. The methods of cluster analysis and correlation and regression analysis have been applied. The dependence of the number of forest fires on weather conditions in sparsely populated areas has been revealed. The frequency of the cycles of the number and area of forest fires is 3–4 years. Various options for calculating the accumulated dewpoint deficit for predicting the number and area of forest fires have been considered. The closest correlation has been found for the indicator calculated over 10 days. Foreign experience in assessing fire danger according to weather conditions having been analyzed, an assumption has been made about the potential partial use of the Australian FFDI index. In the calculations, a satisfactory result has not been achieved. Therefore, it has been proposed to use the accumulated dew-point deficit over 10 days as an indicator of forest fire danger. The number of forest fires is described through the quadratic dependence on this indicator. A scale for assessing fire danger, adapted to the scale based on the Nesterov index, has been developed. For practical use, the calculation algorithm in MS Office Excel has been described, which makes it possible to apply the proposed indicator in the forestries of the Irkutsk Region. The indicator based on the accumulated dew-point deficit over 10 days will make it possible to check the state of forest fire danger according to weather conditions in accordance with the developed scale using the described algorithm and the macro for calculation in MS Excel.

Уголовно значимые правовые состояния специального субъекта преступления: нормативная проекция опасного состояния личности или ее общественной опасности?

Some of the attributes of a special subject of a crime in the Special Part of the Criminal Code are rendered as continuing states, mandatory for the qualification of a crime. The legal nature of such attributes can be studied by referring to the concept of legal states developed within the general theory of law. Today, its proponents recognize legal states as independent types of legal facts acting as a normative projection of people’s socially significant states. The Special Part of the current Criminal Code uses some of the corresponding attributes to criminalize acts, for example, the somatic state or intoxication of the liable person, while other attributes are used to differentiate liability, for example, affective states, conviction for a previously committed specific crime, administrative punishment. Each of these states reflects the specific personal characteristics of the liable party at the time of the crime. These characteristics either act as a condition for the crime commission or indicate an increased social danger of the liable person. This kind of understanding risks being criticized from the standpoint of the theory of a dangerous condition of a person, which is unambiguously associated in science with the possibility of bringing to criminal responsibility in connection with the characteristics of the actor, not in relation to a committed act. At the same time, the original sources show two directions within the theory – radical and moderate, with the latter underlying a modern theory of a person’s social danger. The identified genetic relationship between a dangerous state and social danger of a person is taken into account to explain the criminogenic nature of criminally significant features-states of a special subject of a crime.

ПРАВОВЫЕ И СОЦИАЛЬНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ ГОРОДСКИХ ЛЕСОВ МОСКВЫ

The subject of the article is both legal and social aspects of the use of urban forests in Moscow among which are the destruction of urban forests, the uncertainty of the definition and status of urban forests. The article considers the question of how the urban forests of the capital of the country are used and how this correlates with legal norms and social needs of citizens.
 The concentration of population in cities is becoming a global trend. The level of urbanization is reaching higher and higher indicators every day. Living in urban agglomerations isolated from nature leads to many health problems of citizens. The task of increasing the comfort of the urban environment could be solved by arrays of urban forests. It is known that forest vegetation has a huge positive impact on human health and emotional state. However, their use does not always correspond to legal norms and the interests of citizens.
 The article aims to investigate the relationship between the state of urban forests and the level of comfort of the urban environment, to identify specific factors that negatively affect the state of green spaces as well as to analyze social opinion about the problem. The article reveals the ecological significance of urban forests: they are a place for recreation, recreation, sports, and walks, in addition, they perform an important ecological function, maintaining balance in the natural environment and improving air quality, and describes the features of the dangerous state in which they are located.
 To study the legal and social aspects of the use of urban forests, the following methods were used: analysis of legislative acts regulating the use of urban forests and the study of the practice of their application, the study of expert opinions in the field of ecology law and sociology monitoring the use of urban forests in Moscow (identification of social aspects of forest use) a survey of residents of Moscow to find out their opinion about the use of urban forests and to assess the social significance of forests for city residents, analysis of statistical data on the importance of urban forests for city residents. 
 As a result of the research legal and managerial problems were identified and practical solutions were proposed. Futhermore, it is important not to forget about the cooperation of city authorities, environmental organizations and the public in order to create an effective urban forest management system that would take into account the interests of all stakeholders and allow preserving this important resource for urban ecology and the health of residents. The results of the study can be used to develop recommendations for improving the use of urban forests, additionally for making decisions in the field of management and protection of the urban environment.
 The forest as an ecosystem located within a megalopolis is under threat of destruction. It is important that the use of urban forests is regulated by legislation and carried out within the framework of established rules and regulations. The use of Moscow's urban forests should be carried out taking into account their legal status and social significance, which will help ensure the preservation of these valuable environmental resources. The problem requires an integrated approach, including management measures, public involvement, scientific research and information campaigns. The sum of these decisions and the changes associated with them will help ensure the preservation of valuable environmental resources for future generations.
